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).
