Presumably BMW have assumed an average rider weight when setting up ESA on the LC. Anyone know what this is?
70.8kg is the average weight of Europeans. Where did you read that BMW use that weight for the average rider?
Jesus I'm 30kg over weight then
Jesus I'm 30kg over weight then
I suspect that BMW's model is a bit heavier than me.
I'm 5' 7" and just under 11 stone and looking around most people are taller and how-do-you-say-it, weightier than me!
Could we just keep this on topic - I specifically want to know what figures BMW use for rider, luggage, pillion etc. If you're just guessing start another thread
BMW sent an undercover employee to a selection of UKGSer events, equipped with a high tech 3D camera/scanner.
After analysing the data they set the suspension for rider only to cope with a weight of 125Kgs plus riding gear and allowed 70Kgs for luggage to cope with 2 trays of bottled beer plus food and one spare pair of socks.
Apologies to the OP
RTFM - PAGE 68/69 GIVES YOU WHAT YOU ARE AFTER!
READING THE MANUAL IS ALWAYS A GOOD IDEA - ONE ALWAYS SHOULD DO THIS WITH A NEW BIKE - BLOODY OBVIOUS REALLY SO I DON'T KNOW WHY I AM TELLING YOU THIS.

Could you also point out to me where it states in the manual what the pillion and luggage assumed weights are?
