Using the leveling sensor, the
motions of the rear spring strut
are recorded. Depending on the
determined motion direction and
speed, as well as depending
on the riding mode selected,
the electrical damping valve is
opened respectively closed.
Damping on the front wheel
depends on the riding mode as
well, however the spring travel is
not measured.
The damping values for the front
wheel and for the rear wheel can
be adjusted in the SETUP menu
via seven steps in the "softer"
direction and seven steps in the
"harder" direction. On the rear
wheel, compression stage and
rebound stage can be separately
adjusted.
In order to separately adjust the
damping values on the front
wheel according to rebound and
compression stage, a leveling
sensor must be installed on the
spring fork. A plug connector
for sensor connection is already
available on the motorcycle. It
is located behind the left side
panel.
If an additional leveling sensor
is installed, an existing sensor
is replaced, or the running gear
height is changed, a calibration
must be performed. The
calibration is started in the
SETUP menu.
