Riding Mode - BMW S 1000XR Rider's Manual

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.
DYNAMIC
The setting en-
ables you to set the damping
to a more sporty setup than that
ROAD
offered by , 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.
If the coding plug is not fitted,
the basic setting specified by the
riding mode will be set after each
mode change. If the coding plug
is fitted, the driver's adjustments
are retained for all riding modes.
The suspension setting depends
on the riding mode selected.
The damping defined by the rid-
ing mode can be changed by the
rider.
The basic setting specified by
the riding mode will be set after
each mode change.

Riding mode

Selection
Riding mode selection
Different 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 (standard mode)
with riding modes Pro
DYNAMIC
DYNAMIC PRO (only with coding
plug inserted)
Each of these modes produces
perceptible differences in the
way the motorcycle behaves.
ABS and/or ASC/DTC can be
switched off in each riding
mode. The explanations below
apply with the corresponding
suspension and running-gear
control systems switched on.
The mode last selected is
automatically reactivated after the
ignition has been switched off
and then on again.
The basic rule is: the sportier the
riding mode you select, the more
directly can you tap into the en-
gine's reserves of power. At the
same time, the level of rider as-
sistance that the ABS and ASC/
DTC systems offer decreases ac-
cordingly.
