Suspension Changes

[Giles]

Ho bloody ho. I'm older than you, hence beat you to early retirement age by a month! Unlike you, I don't benefit from a cushy, Fat Cat money-for-nothing public sector pension plan so I've only been able to take partial retirement...

Money for nothing????

25 years of nearly £500 a month !!!!!

A week of Op Stack overtime covered that for a year...

Not sure about a plug, but mine had Dynamic and Dynamic Pro already available. (I think the TE comes with the plug pre-installed, perhaps.)

I haven't played with Dynamic Pro mode yet. Only had short spells in Dynamic to see if I can notice the difference - I can - but as it's been cold and slimy since I've had it and I've now gone over mileage for first service, I will need to wait until after service on Monday to have a play. After last weekend's lovely mild and sunny weather, looks like riding to and from dealer is goign to be more of an opportunity to test heated grips and seats rather than anything faintly approaching 'dynamic.'

All three of mine have come with the plug to enable the pro modes attached to the underside of the seat. I've never bothered installing the plug on any of mine, maybe I should......

You should......

Quentin. It may be that the latest versions have the dynamic pro programmed into the ECU as the extra option instead of the plug? Don't know because my new one has not arrived yet.

As I normally ride in dynamic mode with the suspension the same and the preload on auto what's the benefits of putting the plug in?

Nephew has a 2020 GS and had the plug. Mine is a 2021 and doesn't.

You can personalise/change the settings on Dynamic Pro. I think you'd need to be quite committed or very skilled to benefit from this, but it's an option for some, I suppose.

IIRC the preload is automatic so if a pillion jumps on, or off, you can feel the bike adjust up or down. I know this as when my wife fell off the bike the ride height slowly adjusted and that was a clue.

Some in the past have said I should be........committed that is

The current bikes from circa 2018 do have the auto option together with either min and max for the preload.
