RE: Cornering data R1250RS - 2

Does this mean that the 1250RS has the sensor enabled, and that it is used for self-cancelling indicators - but the electronic display of maximum lean angle (in degrees) is not available (unlike the R)?

I admit it would be neat to have effective self-cancelling indicators. My Spyder has these, but it is obvious that the Spyder works with the return to centre of the handle bars. Spyders do not counter-steer.

I only got 36 degree today, but my averages are way better...

I hear that the fun starts at 40 degrees, not sooner.

Like Bravo I have managed and even exceeded those angles which is why my right hand rocker cover is being sprayed at the moment, oops. I had a 1983 VF1100C with self cancelling indicators, very little is new.

The BMW connected app has it too. Clearly I didn’t use the throttle at all and barely touched the brakes. 0089E0DE-6D4E-4C2F-ACA9-CF5CA488C83C.png - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

The lean angle sensor is there for the ABS, but they've used the functionality for other (less essential!) functions

You get the lean angle sensor when you upgrade with the "Pro rider modes" at about £350 additional.
The brochure-blurb is not particularly clear about it all, but with this you get the enhanced cornering sensitive ABS and traction control, the Dynamic and Dynamic-pro rider modes plus other features, and is well worth the money IMHO.

This thread has given me a very small reason to replace my Zumo 660 with a Navigator 6 but I am in no hurry! I can live without that info.

But this all prompts me to say how good BMW are at marketing packages and how poor they are at explaining the capabilities of the items within each package. Like Wessie I would be reluctant to buy new. I have read a number of threads from those disappointed to discover that they don't have TPS on their Exclusive (part of the Comfort Pack and therefore an extra) or no luggage rack. At least if you buy low mileage used/ex demonstrator you hopefully can see what you are getting and are more likely to avoid disappointment.

However travelling to view bikes based upon often poor online photos can be fraught with danger. When looking for mine I read endless descriptions that said "Dynamic ESA" yet the familiar knurled wheel spring load adjuster was clearly visible on the photos!

Apologies for hijack!

My 1250 has self-cancelling indicators. However, I have noticed they cancel extremely quick. I like to give a good amount of time for cars behind me to know Im turning, but these cancel before I get to the turn if the sensor determines I have gone a certain distance. On my old Harley, it wouldnt cancel the indicator until I have made the turn.

dimness abounds !Does this mean that the lean angle thing only available with the sat nav ? or is it somewhere in the dash ???
(What is a watt ????)

It's in the Dash. You only need the latest firmware update for the TFT screen and then you'll get an additional "Sport"-screen.

Hi
Thanks but I just knew someone would say "firmware" is that the same as software but less soft!
So I go to the dealer and ask for this upgrade ?

cheers
