Riding Mode - BMW Motorrad R 1250 GS 2002 Rider's Manual

just the suspension to suit the
load.
When driving off and when rid-
ing, the system monitors the
suspension on the rear wheel
and corrects the spring preload
in order to set the riding posi-
tion correctly. The damping is
also adjusted automatically to
the load.
By interpreting ride height
sensor signals, Dynamic ESA
detects movements in the
suspension and responds by
adjusting the damper valves.
This enables the suspension to
adapt to the terrain.
Dynamic ESA calibrates itself at
regular intervals to ensure the
system functions correctly.
