I hate to say it, but judging by those photo icons, your whole bike may have rolled over...

I�m afraid this forum has a mind of its own. I can�t make sense of how it screws with pictures.

User friendly - it is not.

my bike never leaves dynamic engine mode. My brain/right hand are calibrated to use this mode and make adjustments to suit the conditions.

I occasionally change the suspension from dynamic to road if the surfaces are very bumpy. I usually have the preload on 2 people to compensate for me and the topbox.

I�ve surprised myself by getting to Like RAIN mode.

There�s a time and a place.

For example - I�ve recently spent time with an IAM coach and done quite a bit of slow town riding. I�ve spent quite some time filtering on German autobahns. And I�ve spent quite some time riding in the wet - in fact it was torrential at times.

I�ve come to appreciate the �soft throttle� that RAIN mode provides. Haven�t missed the top end at all.

I�ve also enjoyed DYNAMIC mode on a very enjoyable ride on open roads while Getting It On. Quite a buzz.

Carpe Diem!
