Adjustment ESA
Possible adjustments
Electronic Suspension Adjust-
ment ESA provides a convenient
way of adapting the motorcycle
to the load it carries and the sur-
face over which you intend riding.
You can adapt the suspension
settings for on-road or off-road
riding.
The damping characteristic is
shown in panel 1 of the multi-
function display, and spring pre-
load in panel 2. The odometer
readings are not shown while the
OE
ESA readout is active.
Three spring-preload stages can
be combined with any of three
damper settings for road riding,
while two spring-preload stages
can be paired with any of three
damper settings for off-roading.
