Zitat von Richard230 im Beitrag #2 Maybe Hilltop or competitor will produce a way of doctoring this to enhance lean angle, invisible to BMW

Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #8Zitat von Lee im Beitrag #6 The R model has a secondary 'sports' display which shows you lean angle, braking force etc. It's kinda funny that BMW put the RS in the sports category yet it doesn't get that display.

Zitat von DeadllHead im Beitrag #9 Oh, well thats disappointing. Is that something you can enable with a scan-tool? |

Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #10Zitat von DeadllHead im Beitrag #9 I'd imagine it's something that could be added with ease both the R and RS are the same bike essentially.

Zitat von TenCats im Beitrag #1 ..., though in theory, lean angle was available from the introduction of the lean angle sensor - late 2016 model year and on.

Zitat von DeadllHead im Beitrag #11Zitat von hyperm3 im Beitrag #10 Now that the R1250RS comes with the hill slope braking, cornering ABS and the pulsing brake light that could have been retrofitted to my 2015 RS for about $500 AUD a pop; and the new price is just about the same, it is clear that you can add a reader for lean angle for about the same, I'll bet. The added electronic trickery costs nothing to put it in, it just serves the purpose of lightening the rider by removing money from his pocket. Well I can prove that I got my RS over further than anyone else. So far, in fact, that the tyre contact patch was completely exhausted before the X-head contact patch took over...
I would like to apologize to anyone I have NOT offended. Please be patient. I will get to you shortly.

one benefit of this lean sensor is that the indicators turn off earlier - I noticed this on my demo ride yesterday. This mirrors what happened on my Triumph Explorer. |
Zitat von wessie im Beitrag #14 Thanks Wessie. 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.
