How can I tell if ESA is working? When I switch from min to auto and max I don�t see any difference in height. On my XR switching to two up there was a noticeable height increase. Im having a hard time getting the RS on the center stand. Thought by putting the ESA on max might help.

ESA is working, just takes longer to adjust then the XR did.

My 1200 is the same way. When I select rider and luggage, there is no adjustment of the spring preload. Maybe it changes the compression damping? However, when I select rider and passenger, you can definitely feel the rear of the bike rise. The ESA system of my 2007 R1200R would adjust the preload during each of the three steps by raising the preload for both the luggage and a passenger settings.

Best way Ive found to get the RS on centre stand is to lock the steering pointing left, standing on the left of bike use left foot on stand, hold the left grip of the bar with left hand and right hand somewhere that suits you , either at the rack or frame below the seat to pull bike back onto the stand .
Works for me regardless of settings .
