Suspension calibration

Post by 63north »

When doing a calibration on suspension I see no information on the front suspension by using either GS911 or Motoscan; see only dashes and no noticable reaction by the shock itself. It however seems there’s a slight difference between selected damping modes.
Model year 2013, built august 2012.

Is this normal?

Yes that's normal, the ESA only alters the spring rate on the rear shock for ride hight whilst carrying a pillion, the damping is altered with setting button for comfort and sport but it's not really noticeable.
