I know you said UK, but my US exclusive came with pro enabled. My understanding is that should be part of package.

Mode button should cycle thru rain, road, dynamic, dynamic pro.

That involves fitting the IMU lean angle sensor. It may be possible but it's more than just a software update.

I think it’s a 1250 Exclusive. They all have the IMU and I would have thought the Exclusive would have that activated, it certainly is on my lowly ‘Sport’ version.

Is it worth it if not activated? In my opinion not really,
I had it on all 3 RS, only tried on the first one as it was a novelty, not bothered since.

If it’s that sketchy that I need a specially configured mix of engine mode and ESA, I just back off a bit!

You are right a 1250 Exclusive should come with it already fitted/enabled.
But riding modes pro is a package that includes a lot more than just the customizable riding mode. It comes with the IMU sensor so it upgrades the ABS to cornering-sensitive, the same with traction control.

Riding modes pro does come with all that I agree. And have occasion to be very thankful that I had cornering ABS.

I believe Dynamic pro is just a configurable setting for engine mode and DSC/ABS.

Mind you, I have been wrong before!

Pro mode allows you to set traction control and throttle response independently

To be correct pro mode allows you to mix and match from rain through road to dynamic unlike on the GS where pro offers extra response than in Dynamic. Also on the GS or XR there is an additional dongle attached under the seat required to enable Dynamic Pro.
Personally I think it’s a con on the RS as there is no difference between Dynamic and Dynamic Pro but correct me if I’m wrong on this.

There is a difference. as you state, you can mix and match throttle response and traction control.

For example, max throttle response and max traction control. (Vs. different mixes pre set and unchangable in rain, road, dynamic.)

Whether or not that’s a worthwhile upgrade to the rider is certainly subjective.

My 2016's upgrade to Dynamic Pro was software based only so the IMU is already there. I declined as I felt £250 was excessive.
