suspension settings for off-road

Semi Active Suspension - Automatic
Preload
The semi active suspension system can
adjust the motorcycle automatically
to suit the payload (e.g. compensating
for the weight of a passenger). When
driving off and when riding, the system
monitors the suspension positions and
adjusts the rear spring preload in order
to maintain the optimum ride height.
Damping is also adjusted automatically
to suit the load. The rear suspension
preload motor calibrates itself at regular
intervals to make sure the system
functions correctly.
