Adjustment options
Using the Dynamic ESA elec-
tronic suspension adjustment
system you can easily adjust your
motorcycle to the load being car-
ried.
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.
In addition, the damping char-
acteristic can be made harder
(HARD) or softer (SOFT) relative
to the normal setting (NORMAL).

The suspension setting depends
on the riding mode selected.
Damping set by the riding mode
can be changed by the rider.
