BMW R 1250RS, Rider'S Manual, Page: 157 / 279

In the DTC settings for
DYNAMIC
, and
DYNAMIC PRO
,
the front wheel lift-off detection
allows for short wheelies.
In RAIN, ROAD and DYNAMIC
riding modes, the DTC setting
corresponds to the riding mode.
In the DYNAMIC PRO riding
mode, DTC can be set differ-
ently (
86).
BMW Motorrad recommends
turning the throttle grip back
slightly when lifting the front
wheel in order to reach a stable
driving condition again as soon
as possible.
When riding on a slippery sur-
face, never snap the throttle grip
fully closed without pulling the
clutch at the same time. En-
gine braking torque can cause
the rear wheel to skid, with a cor-
responding loss of stability. The
BMW Motorrad DTC is unable to
control a situation of this nature.
Dynamic ESA
with Dynamic ESA OE
Riding position equaliser
The electronic chassis and
suspension setting Dynamic ESA
is able to adjust your motorcycle
automatically to the load. If the
spring setting is set to
Auto
, the
rider does not have to change
the load setting.
NOTICE
BMW Motorrad recommends the
Auto
chassis and suspension
setting.
When driving off and when rid-
ing, the system monitors the
suspension at the rear wheel
and corrects the spring setting
in order to set the correct riding
position. The damping is also ad-
justed automatically to the load.
Via ride height sensors,
Dynamic ESA detects the
movements in the chassis and
suspension and responds by
adjusting the EDC valves. The
chassis and suspension will thus
be adapted to the characteristics
of the terrain.
Dynamic ESA calibrates itself at
regular intervals to ensure the
system functions correctly.
