R1300 GSA Adaptive suspension settings

[wpm]

Afternoon All,

Just after you thoughts on the Adaptive suspension setting on your R1300,
When I change the settings in road mode to + 2 or - 2 it seems to make no difference to the softness or firmness of the suspension. Have any of you noticed no change or is it just me.

I run mine in dynamic as I don’t like the way the linked brakes behave in road mode, I have the damping set to -2 to soften it up a bit

I do feel a difference when the damping settings are changed

yes i feel a difference but most is felt when running in dynamic

It’s subtle, but the differences are there.

I saw a GSA with all the luggage parked outside North Oxford BMW last month. Honestly my first thought was that someone had dumped a load of old fridges on the forecourt

Awww.
Now I really hope you haven’t been traumatised by it all.
Have a free lucozade on me.

When riding solo, that top box must act as an airbrake. My wife likes it as it can hold 36 pairs of shoes.

Mine’s managed 36 pairs of boxed shoes and three sets of beach sandals. Plus 27 shades of lipstick.
It’ll carry more luggage than a BA pilot’s allowance.

Just sayin’…..

The wide angle lens makes it look huge but it's just the standard vario, in the expanded position. Holds one helmet (when expanded) and that's it

 

[grantmac]

ok. Couldn’t see that ……but anyway the GSA top box is like a fekkin cupboard on the back. It’s still huge…..

Mine is set almost the same, I have dynamic set at -2 and dynamic pro set to -1, I like the crisp throttle response with a choice of settings and can feel the difference.
