Hard brake onset in sporty rid-
ing style.
Like the DTC traction control,
the dynamic engine brake con-
trol compares the wheel circum-
ferential velocities of the front
and rear wheel. With the aid of
more information on the angle,
the dynamic engine brake control
can determine the slip or the sta-
bility reserve at the rear wheel.
If the slip exceeds the respec-
tive limit value, the engine torque
is increased by slightly opening
the throttle valves. The slip is
reduced, and the vehicle is stabi-
lized.
Effect of the dynamic engine
brake control
In the RAIN and ROAD riding
modes: maximum stability.
In the DYNAMIC and
DYNAMIC PRO riding modes:
high stability.
Additionally in the
DYNAMIC PRO riding mode:
maximum performance.
Stability may be impaired on
poorly surfaced roads or if
using unsuitable tires.

Riding position
compensation
The Dynamic ESA electronic
chassis and suspension adjust-
ment can automatically adapt
your motorcycle to the load. If
the spring setting is set to
Auto
,
the rider does not have to worry
about adjusting the load.
NOTICE
BMW Motorrad recommends the
Auto
chassis and suspension
adjustment.
When the motorcycle is started
and while it is being ridden, the
system monitors the compres-
sion of the rear wheel and cor-
rects the spring setting to ensure
that the correct riding position is
set. The damping is also auto-
matically adjusted to the load.
Using ride height sensors,
Dynamic ESA detects the
movements of the chassis and
responds to them by adjusting
the EDC valves. As a result,
the chassis is adjusted to the
conditions of the surface.
Dynamic ESA calibrates itself at
regular intervals to ensure that
the system is operating correctly.
