What do these buttons do, what is the spec.

TE spec , upper on off slide switch is cruise control, left rocker is trip meters and onboard computer functions, right rocker switch is abs for off road and lower part is esa setting for solo/solo + luggage and two up settings, other are indicators, horn and at the front of the cluster is the high low beam and then the wobble wheel for sat nav control.
Think the other one to the left of the hazards is daytime led lights ? Never altered it on mine in 3 years

Thanks for the information.
So it's not got traction control.
 
it will have it in that spec, the right thing to do it take a photo of the chassis number and go to a site that gives the details as made http://bimmer.work/ (used to be their own BMW etk one but they seem to have killed it)

On high spec earlier air-cooled bikes u got 2 or 3 settings from really annoying to nearly not annoying),

with that switch gear if its a GS, that's an LC bike, which will have rider modes and if it has rider modes pro you'll have 5

with rider modes pro, you get a red dongle few bother to fit in a bag under the riders seat, when you plug in to the main wiring loom just there (having wrestled it from the zip tie and removed the difficult to get off dust cap) fitting it unlocks 2 more rider modes (making the five)

the issue is they locked all ABS and traction settings in together and they are all wrong

from a traction control perspective

enduro is a waste of time
rain is a waste of time
road is a waste of time
dynamic is the only one close to bearable (but even with hot tyres and dry grippy tarmac it kills acceleration off a corner, and you can’t give it any in a straight line
enduro pro almost works except the idiots disable cruise control (and you need to think about throttle control in the damp) and even so if the front almost gets any air worth talking about it kills the power

from an ABS perspective (I think I remember this right but might be muddled)

enduro is a waste of time
rain is a waste of time
road limits braking performance so it’s more likely to help grabbing a fist full when lent over
dynamic limits leany over ABS in an attempt to allow the brakes to work best in a straight line
enduro pro turns off the rear ABS

then we leap towards the grown up world if you get the LCD display and software post Feb 2018

with the red dongle in place gives dynamic suspension where the ESA tries almost successfully to judge the right settings and peps up acceleration enough the wheel gets a tiny bit of air before nanny takes over
