DSS default setting can be changed using the
corresponding menu through the instrument panel.
This menu allows the rider to increase or decrease
the base damping settings characterising the
operation of fork and rear shock absorber for each
Riding Mode. When a SOFT setting is selected, the
DSS will change suspension response to be softer,
while if a HARD setting is selected, the DSS will on
the contrary change suspension response to be
harder.
The DSS system also interacts with bike load setting,
from the individual rider to the pillion rider and
several bags calibration. Indeed, selecting a different
load, besides changing rear shock absorber preload
to ensure a constant and correct response while
riding with a load, also affects the parameters
defining bike dynamic response. Load selection thus
ensures motorcycle top performance in accordance
with load-related dynamics.
In the ENDURO Riding Mode we recommend the
rider setting only to ride on off-road paths with just
little bumps in touring style. On the other hand, we
recommend the settings with a higher, up to the
passenger + pannier setting, when riding on off-road
paths with high bumps in sports style.

Preload basic setting can be changed as well,
through the special menu on the instrument panel.
The preload actuator specific range is 12 mm (0.47
in), the instrument panel allows setting preload
value among 24 positions; a preload change of 0.5
mm (0.20 in) corresponds to each position and allows
any rider to find the optimal setting for each load
condition.
Attention
The DSS system setting strongly depends on
specified bike load. Riding the bike with a load
setting other than the real one does not ensure
system optimal operation. The DSS system was
calibrated with bike standard springs. Any change to
the components involved in the system could result
in a non-perfect behaviour of system and bike.
