DTC modes.

[richh]

Was looking at my 2020 today in regards rider modes.

I have the dongle in for the pro modes. And noticed that my dash only shows 3 segments on the DTC setting.

It says "slight wheelie possible" but its really slight, as in kills it the moment the wheel lifts.

I've seen online bikes where there are 4 segments to the DTC setting.

Is this later bikes?

Is the only way to wheelie to turn off the DTC totally?

(Pic from net showing four segment display.)

Take a look at "just the way it is" yt channel. He has a video showing all the possible permutations.

I’ve done some chat gpt searching and it does seem that the later bikes with the facelift indicators have tweaked software in that department.

My bike has the GS animation / logo on startup.

Apparently the later bike software says BMW Motorrad instead?

Mine is a 2022 but I couldn’t tell you what it says on the dash on start up.

Long press on the ABS button switches off the traction control, that's the only way I've found to let the front end come up whenever you want, you do have to switch it off each time it's restarted.

Yes I understand. But would be nice to still have some form of TC in place while allowing the front to gently paw the air.

Does the bike need to be stationary to turn it off / on with the ABS button?

I ride with it off all the time, just in case I see a lovely crest ahead for a 4th gear floater
I'd rather have TC on too but, can't say I've noticed it being off ever.

Nice.

I’ve got it booked in for a service.

Chat GPT says to ask the dealer if I’m up to spec on my I-level. As it might update the ecu to the 4 level TC instead of the current 3.

But that might be Ai bullshite like.

No, you can switch it on and off on the move, takes a few seconds.
