Riding Mode - BMW Motorrad R 1250 R Rider's Manual

BMW Motorrad recom-
mends the
and suspension setting.
When driving off and when rid-
ing, the system monitors the
suspension at the rear wheel
and corrects the spring setting
in order to set the correct rid-
ing position. The damping is
also adjusted automatically to
the load.
Via ride height sensors,
Dynamic ESA detects the
movements in the chassis
and suspension and responds
by adjusting the EDC valves.
The chassis and suspension
will thus be adapted to the
characteristics of the terrain.
Dynamic ESA calibrates itself at
regular intervals to ensure the
system functions correctly.
