Electronic Suspension
Adjustment
with Dynamic ESA OE
Possible settings
Dynamic ESA enables you to
adjust your motorcycle's suspen-
sion to suit the load and the road
conditions.
Via ride height sensors, Dynamic
ESA detects the movements in
the chassis and suspension and
responds to the same by ad-
justing the damper valves. The
chassis and suspension will thus
be adapted to the characteristics
of the terrain.
You can set the damping to a
harder (HARD) or softer (SOFT)
setting than the basic setting
(NORMAL).
with Pro riding modes OE
The suspension setting depends
on the riding mode selected.
The damping defined by the rid-
ing mode can be changed by the
rider.
Adjusting the chassis and
suspension
Start the engine.
You can adjust the damping
characteristic while the mo-
torcycle is on the move.

ESA
menu.
