Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #1 Dynamic over road gives the rider a little more playroom so rider aids like ASC are still there to assist but come in a little later on, also if the bike has ESA it will change the mode to dynamic for a more sporty ride. Dynamic pro lets the rider choose a custom setup. Probably someone can explain it better and go into more detail for you. ER6N (2012) |

I have pro mode set up to be somewhere between Road and Dynamic. The DTC is set to road, suspension and throttle set to Dynamic. I like the firmness and responsiveness of the dynamic settings for suspension and throttle and like having DTC at full capability for the safety cushion. |

My 2016 doesn't have Rider Modes Pro activated. I'm considering doing this, but am wondering what effect the Dynamic mode has on the throttle response. I've owned a couple of bikes where the more active modes make the throttle so touchy that I'd end up going back to the Road mode. How does the BMW is the throttle response in Dynamic mode?
Do what you can while you still can.

Zitat von VintageThumper im Beitrag #4 I actually didnt notice as much in the throttle response as I did in the suspension when I put it in Dynamic. I've ridden bikes with throttles that turn into a light switch when you go into their "dynamic" mode, this isnt like that at all. |

Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #5Zitat von VintageThumper im Beitrag #4 I've ridden an R1250RS and loved the zippier power. I was thinking (hoping) the Dynamic mode might nudge my 1200 in that direction, but it sounds like I'd be disappointed with the end result after spending $500 to have it activated.

Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #5Zitat von VintageThumper im Beitrag #4 Depends what you are used to. I never change the throttle mode on my bike, always in dynamic even in the wet or frosty commutes. I alter the suspension preload and mode depending on road conditions. I treat my S1000XR the same. I guess I am a bit old school in that I like to ride to the conditions using my own senses to judge speed, braking and steering. I ride all year and I would feel a bit clumsy if I was having to be bailed out by the ABS and TCS as I treated a slick roundabout at 5C like an Alpine sweeper at 25C. If you are at all anxious about your riding then take some advanced rider training. Don't rely on electronics: they are there for the day you encounter the unexpected such as a child emerging from a gap between cars or the diesel spillage from the truck with the absent minded driver that left the filler cap open. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #7Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #5 Sorry, didn't mean to imply I was worried about being overwhelmed by the Dynamic rider mode. I'm old school too, and an ex-racer, and have ridden bikes with considerably more power than the RS. But I've also ridden bikes like the Yamaha MT09 that became irritatingly over reactive to throttle input when put in the dynamic power mode and made it a challenge just to ride the thing smoothly. But the larger issue I'm wondering about is if you get enough of an improvement in throttle response to justify the $500 (U.S.) that the dealer wants for activating the Rider Modes Pro.

Zitat von VintageThumper im Beitrag #8Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #7Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #5 Hah! I owned an MT09 Tracer then after a year rode a R1200RS. I kept the Tracer for 8 months with the intention of riding it to/from work but preferred the RS. Compared to the MT09, the RS is a dream to ride as the fuelling is spot on apart from the usual emissions fluffiness but easy to ride around by changing down a gear. |
