I have also discovered that the heated grips have FIVE settings. Vast improvement over the 1200's almost nothing or sizzling.

That must be a change for 2023.

Yeah, the rider's manual only says 3 heated grip settings- one of the discrepancies I noted. Also it talks about a "pure ride" screen that I haven't found- don't think it's there.

Never bothered you though Andy did it! 😁. Or was that the Z8?

Z8 - never had the 01 for that very reason.

My new RS has the 01's...I find them good, until they hit a tar strip, then they're really squirrely. Will be changing to something else when they're done. I had Metzeler M9 RR's on my S1000RR and really like them...wonder how they'd be on the RS?

Yes, they added that along with the eco mode and some other stuff. I wish they could retrofit the heating levels to the older ones.

I have always felt that a "medium" setting would be most useful on the 1200's. I have used (so far) level 2 on my '23 and have to say that it is more than the low setting on the 1200. I suppose I won't know about any other settings until next fall.

Now I remember watching videos where you go to the TFT and choose seat or grips before setting the level.

Just over 3 weeks and almost 1400 miles and I am loving this bike.

I really appreciate the Hill Start Control. I am using it a lot just to be able to not have to keep brake pressure on to prevent rolling. Works seamlessly even on level ground.

Frank

I'm in full agreement here. The Hill Start wasn't something that I had given any thought to, but have found it super convenient. It gives me opportunities to relax my brake hand, or put both feet down and stretch my back. It gets a lot more use than I would have imagined.

On my '23 you push the heated grips button on the right switchpod which brings it up on the TFT. Then you use the wonder wheel to select heat level and ok. More involved than the 1200 but this old dog can learn new tricks. The bike also had heated seats rider and passenger. I swapped my non-heated Sargent seat onto this bike.
Today is 4 weeks and 1845 miles.

Became aware today that the tire pressure sensors in the wheels on my '23 are about half the size of the ones on my '17 RS. Is this a change for '23 or earlier?
