Dai, no warning will come up on your dash board. It will show a fault if you can your bike computer with a GS911 or Motoscan. Use some electrical tape to seal the connectors on the bike in case someone wants to put esa back on the bike to help keep them clean. Don't throw out your ESA shock for now, you never know and even not functioning they are valuable as the can now be rebuild by a couple of companies. I changed to wilbers years back just before rebuilding became possible. I have two other bikes with ESA and I enjoy being able to adjust the suspension because some of the roads I ride are really rough. (Washington State is 5th from the bottom in the country as far as road quality. )
Cheers Bud!

I have the option to get it serviced in the UK, hopefully they can test the ESA component. If all else fails, will get the non-ESA. Thanks for confirming.
 
If replacing with non-ESA, will that throw and ESA errors/warnings? I'm in the middle of bringing a 2007 K1200S back to life (in Malaysia) and the ESA doesn't seem to be functioning, so considering the non-ESA Wilbers.
