Adjustment options
Using the electronic suspension
adjustment Dynamic ESA you
can conveniently adjust your mo-
torcycle to the load.
Using leveling sensors, Dynamic
ESA detects movements of the
running gear and responds to
them by adjusting the damper
valves. As a result, the running
gear is adjusted to the conditions
of the ground.
Based on the NORMAL default
setting, damping can be addition-
ally adjusted harder (HARD) or
softer (SOFT).
