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 ESA calibrates itself at reg-
ular intervals when the vehicle is
at a standstill and the engine is
running to ensure that the sys-
tem is functioning properly. The
chassis and suspension cannot
be adjusted while the system is
being calibrated.

with Pro riding modes

OE

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

Riding mode

Riding mode

Riding mode selection

Three riding modes allow the
motorcycle's characteristics to
adapt to the prevailing weather
conditions, the road and traffic,
and the rider's style of riding:

RAIN
ROAD

with Pro riding modes

OE

DYNAMIC

Each riding mode affects the
behavior of the motorcycle in a
different way. The ASC can be
switched off in any mode; the fol-
lowing explanations apply exclu-
sively to the system's response
when it is switched on. The last
selected riding mode is reacti-
vated automatically after the igni-
tion is switched off and on again.
The following rule always applies:
selection of progressively more

dynamic riding modes is accom-
panied by a corresponding re-
duction in the support furnished
by ASC.
Therefore, consider the following
when selecting the riding mode:
the more dynamic the setting,
the greater the demands on the
skill of the rider!

Throttle response:

in the RAIN mode: restrained
in the ROAD mode: direct

with Pro riding modes

OE

In DYNAMIC mode: dynamic

RAIN mode

The ASC system intervenes
early enough to prevent the rear
wheel from slipping. The vehi-
cle remains extremely stable on
road surfaces providing high to
moderate coefficients of friction,
and thus adhesion (extending
from dry and wet asphalt to dry
cobblestones), and it is only on
