panel 2 . The clock is not shown
while the ESA readout is active.
Adjuster, spring preload
The ESA control unit is protected
by an overload cutout designed
to stop the spring-preload ad-
justment process if current con-
sumption reaches an unaccept-
ably high level. Please note that
a combination of low ambient
temperature and a high payload
tends to increase the possibility
of elevated current consumption,
and under these circumstances
adjustment might be interrupted
by the overload cutout.
If the motorcycle is to be used
for two-up riding and ambient
temperature is below 0 °C, BMW
Motorrad recommends adjusting
the suspension to the setting for
two-up riding and allowing ad-
justment to complete before your
passenger mounts the motor-
cycle. Similarly, BMW Motorrad
recommends relieving the weight
on the motorcycle when you are
going to adjust over a long range
of travel (adjusting from "one-up"
to "two-up with luggage").
The ESA indicator continues to
flash until adjustment completes.
If adjustment is interrupted the
process resumes as soon as
current consumption drops be-
low the defined threshold, for
example when the above-men-
tioned measures are adopted.
