Electronic Suspension Adjustment; Justment (Esa); (Esa) - BMW R 1200RS 2016 Rider's Manual

Unusual riding conditions:
7
Driving on the rear wheel
(wheelie) for a longer period.
106
Rear wheel spinning in place
with front brake engaged (burn
out).
Heating up on an auxiliary
stand at idle speed or with gear
engaged.
Switching the ignition off and on
again and then riding the mo-
torcycle at more than a specific
minimum speed reactivates the
DTC.
Minimum speed for DTC
activation
z
min 6 mph (min 10 km/h)
If the front wheel loses contact
with the ground under extreme
acceleration, the DTC reduces
the engine torque until the front
wheel makes contact with the
ground again.
BMW Motorrad recommends
that you respond to this condi-
tion by twisting back the throttle
grip somewhat to return to stable
dynamic operating conditions as
quickly as possible.
On a slippery surface, the throttle
grip should never be suddenly
twisted back completely unless
the clutch is disengaged at the
same time. The engine braking
torque can cause the rear wheel
to slip, resulting in an unstable
driving state. DTC is unable to
intervene effectively under these
conditions.
Electronic suspension
adjustment (ESA)
OE
with Dynamic ESA
Dynamic ESA range of
adjustment
Using the Dynamic ESA elec-
tronic suspension adjustment
system you can easily adjust your
motorcycle to the load being car-
ried.
Using a leveling sensor,
Dynamic ESA detects
movements of the chassis and
suspension and responds to
them by adjusting the EDC
valves. As a result, the running
gear is adjusted to the conditions
of the ground.
Starting from the basic setting
(ROAD), the damping can also be
set harder (DYNAMIC).
Dynamic ESA calibrates itself at
regular 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.
