Electronic suspension

OE
Settings
Using the electronic suspension
adjustment ESA you can conve-
niently adjust your motorcycle to
its loading and the ground.
The damping setting is shown in
the multifunction display in the
area
1 , and the spring preload
in the area 2 . The display of the
odometer is hidden as long as
the ESA display is shown. Three
spring preloads with three damp-
ing setting each can be com-
bined to optimally adjust the mo-
torcycle.
Adjusting spring preload
The ESA control unit is equipped
with an overload protection
device that interrupts the
adjustment process for the spring
preload in case of excessive
current consumption. Especially
at low temperatures and with a
heavy payload, increased current
consumption can briefly result,
causing an interruption of the
adjustment process.
At temperatures below 0 °C,
BMW Motorrad recommends
that the passenger should wait
until the adjustment process to
passenger mode is completed
before taking a seat. In case of
very long adjustment distances
(adjustment from "single rider"
to "operation with passenger and
luggage"), BMW Motorrad also
recommends unloading the mo-
torcycle.
The ESA display flashes until the
adjustment process has been
completed.
An interrupted adjustment pro-
cess is automatically continued
as soon as the current consump-
tion is reduced, e.g. with the
measures described above.
Calling up settings
Switch on ignition.
Press button 1 .
The current setting is
