Electronics » Riding mode: Dynamic Pro

Assuming you have the riding modes pro option then you have the Dynamic and Dynamic Pro riding modes to play with.
I've had my 1250 nearly a year and done 5k miles. I happily use all three of Rain, Road and Dynamic depending on what I'm doing. But what is Dynamic Pro mode for?
For Dynamic Pro you can configure the throttle mapping and the level of traction control. If you set it the same as Dynamic then you are just duplicating the Dynamic riding mode, so why bother with that? But then what other combination are you going to have? So I have defaulted to setting it to the same as Road. Then when selected it will put the ESA in Dynamic mode by default with road throttle and traction control. But it's easier and fewer button presses just to put it in Road mode and change the ESA setting.
Anyone got a better idea?

hi Ali
the understanding i have is when you select dynamic using the left hand side control, this stiffing's up the suspension which you can do when in motion,
the other on the rhs is for the engine mapping throttle response
but probably wrong lol

It's programable to your preferences. For example Rain mode resricts power & puts your traction control into its most intrusive setting, but if you wanted full power with max TC you'd use the Pro setting (when you've set it up). There are limited combinations available but it can be handy.

Well it's not exactly the most powerful bike in the world, & many more powerful bikes have their rain mode power way above the max power of the RS with no problem, so yeah, Pro is now my rain mode. Beyond that not much really for me... YMMV.

If you are completely against your front wheel lifting off the ground but want full "dynamic" throttle action, for example, set your Dynamic Pro settings to "Dynamic" engine and "Road" DTC. That's how I have mine set up, mostly so I have a setting that is different than the preset Dynamic mode. I have heard of some guys using Rain DTC with Dynamic Engine. Rain DTC is very aggressive.

It is actually kind of funny to see reviewers on demo rides talk about the Dyanmic Pro setting. Most fall for the marketing gimmick that "Pro" must be better than straight Dynamic without really understanding that Pro has limited options and can never "more responsive" than the preset Dynamic.

Yes that's right. With ESA when you switch riding mode it automatically puts the ESA in Road for Rain and Road riding modes, and in ESA in Dynamic for Dynamic and Dynamic Pro modes. Then you can freely change the ESA mode with the LHS button easy.

Once I have learned how to "hoist a minger" (wheelie) I'll report back on whether it goes higher in Pro

I use Dynamic pro for Dynamic throttle response but keep the DTC in the road setting. I'm almost always in that setting. Road is a bit better for rougher pavement, but I miss that throttle response. If I'm riding in the wet, I put it in rain.
