Electronics » Lean angle display.

On the R1250R Sport version there is functionality shared with the S1000RR that displays in real time how much traction control you are using along with braking data (via the ABS) and even lean angle. When you stop it displays the max lean, TC and ABS used (data is lost when you turn off the ignition)
Sadly I am told this feature will not be available on the 1250 RS (due 1st. Sept. UK) - no idea why? Unless like ABS pro and hill start control it will be made available at a retro fit cost.

Not sure about the other things but on the GS it shows bank angle on the satnav VI, will be same set up on the RS I would say.

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't want to know what my maximum lean angle is. As it is I do my best not to look at my tire "chicken strips".

I’m with Richard230 and prefer not to know the maximum lean angle, hoping to stay riding somewhere safely less than “maximum”. 5mm chicken strips are good enough for me on my Pilot 5’s.

Isn't the item #10 below an analog lean indicator?

Agree max lean is not the goal unless your Marquie but information is always helpful. Point is why can't we have it on the RS?

I read the Bennett’s article on the R1250R and it’s seems all may not be well in the handling department due to the new suspension. Hopefully it was just a question of adjustment, but it would be a real shame if the sweet handling RS was to suffer a similar fate. The wheel base and some other geometry (trail? The lower forks are different) is different on the RS so it might not be impacted.

Is this displayed in real-time or information that is captured and available for review after a ride? If only in real-time then it would have zero utility for me. I know that when I’ve got a good lean on the bike my eyes definitely are not on the dash, Nav, or any other gizmo.

The Navigator VI shows lean angle? I didn't know that. Where is that feature?

Another forum member (can't remember who) eschewed the lean angle indicator and relied solely on the "pucker factor." I've been using that with a smile ever since.

Some years ago (30+) my mates and I 'fitted' lean angle detectors on our bikes, we used kids white chalk to mark a line across the width of the front and rear tyre, go for a ride and the rider with the least chalk left 'won'. I've only just remembered this, I'm going to mention it to them next time we meet up (and take some chalk along)...
