the ambient temperature and on
the driving style and duration.
The tire inflation pressures are
shown temperature-compen-
sated in the multifunction display;
they refer to a tire temperature
of 20 °C. No temperature com-
pensation takes place in the in-
flation pressure testers at filling
stations, meaning that the mea-
sured tire inflation pressure varies
according to tire temperature.
As a result, the pressure figures
indicated by the gauges at fill-
ing stations will usually vary from
those appearing in the multifunc-
tion display. The warmer the tire,
the higher the gauge reading
by comparison with the reading
shown on the display.
Adjusting inflation
pressure
Compare the TPC/RDC value in
the multifunction display with the
value on the back cover of the
Rider's Manual. The difference
between the two values must be
compensated with the air pres-
sure tester at the filling station.
Example: According to the
Rider's Manual, the tire inflation
pressure is to be 42 psi (2.9 bar),
however 39 psi (2.7 bar) is
shown in the multifunction
display. The tester at the filling
station indicates 36 psi (2.5 bar).
This value must be increased by
3 psi (0.2 bar) to 39 psi (2.7 bar)
in order to produce the correct
tire inflation pressure.

Chassis adjustments
The proper loading state must
first be selected when the mo-
torcycle is stationary according to
the motorcycle's load. Depend-
ing on the riding mode selected,
the damping levels are set on
both spring struts and the spring
base and spring rate are set on
the rear spring strut. If the se-
lected riding mode is changed,
the spring rate on the rear spring
strut is also adjusted in addition
to the damping of both spring
struts. This enables very precise
adjustment of the chassis to all
riding conditions, including while
riding.
