so as to restore stability with the
least possible delay.
When riding on a slippery sur-
face, never snap the throttle
twistgrip fully closed without
pulling the clutch at the same
time. Engine braking torque can
cause the rear wheel to skid, with
a corresponding loss of stability.
The BMW Motorrad DTC is un-
able to control a situation of this
nature.
Electronic Suspension
Adjustment (D­ESA)
Possible settings
Dynamic ESA enables you
to adjust your motorcycle's
suspension to suit the load and
the surface conditions.
By interpreting ride height sensor
signals, Dynamic ESA detects
movements in the chassis and
suspension and responds by ad-
justing the damping valves. The
chassis and suspension will thus
be adapted to the characteristics
of the terrain.
The
DYNAMIC
setting enables
you to set the damping to a
more sporty setup than that
offered by
ROAD
, which is the
basic setting.
The suspension setting depends
on the riding mode selected.
The damping defined by the rid-
ing mode can be changed by the
rider.
Dynamic ESA calibrates itself at
regular intervals when station-
ary with the engine running to
ensure the correct operating
principle of the system. Dur-
ing this calibration, chassis and
suspension adjustment is not
possible.
Riding mode
Selection
Three riding modes enable the
motorcycle's characteristics to
adapt to the prevailing weather
conditions, the road and traffic,
and the rider's style of riding:
RAIN
ROAD
DYNAMIC
Each of these modes produces
perceptible differences in the
way the motorcycle behaves.
DTC can be switched off in each
mode; the explanations below in-
variably refer to conditions with
the system switched ON. The
mode last selected is automatic-
ally reactivated after the ignition
has been switched off and then
on again.
The basic rule is: the sportier
the mode you select, the more
directly can you tap into the en-
gine's reserves of power. At the
