I think after this video, I am ready to step up to the Dynamic modes, while being fairly certain I will shy away from the "Pro" modes until I have more miles under my belt.

This has been a great reference for explaining what is going on with the control systems on these bikes. I have just taken delivery of a 2023 model GSA Rallye and have just been out on my first ride today. So far so good. As I don't intend to ride on anything more serious than the odd stretch of road works most of the enduro/Pro modes will be superfluous to my needs as will probably be the Dynamic/Pro modes but we'll see. What I think is missing is probably a Road/Pro mode so that you are able to swap and change some of the Road options. However that may be wishful thinking and I may be over thinking it. I'll be out on the road over the next few days trying out some of all this technology though hopefully it won't detract to much from the enjoyment of just "going for a ride ". After today I reckon a set of handle bar risers and a larger screen. 👍

@@justthewayitis I was just going over the menu on my 2020 GSA and I don't have all the control options that you covered in the charts. By example, in Dynamic Pro I don't have an option "DYNA-PRO" in DTC or ABS. I guess this also means that DBC is never turned off but I'll check with the dealer. Also, I don't seem to have the ability to choose ENDURO mode unless I remove the plug that allows me access to the PRO modes. That kinda stinks since I want to use ENDURO (not PRO) and DYNAMIC PRO choices but can't because the choice is either PRO or non-PRO modes.

Hi Trevor, good morning, if you have a tablet or iPad you can use those in the garage while your doing your installation. Best wishes Carl

Wow, I can‘t believe how much misunderstanding and misinformation could be cleared up if everyone, riders as well as dealership staff and even BMW Motorrad staff unfamiliar with the technicalities, watches this video and would read this phenomenal chart that you‘ve made! Kudos! Now if there just was a software update for my 2017 R1200GS to allow that same amount of granularity when configuring the Pro modes…

Hello Ritter, and welcome to the channel and thank you for your feedback 👍. I’m delighted that so many owners and dealerships use and learn from these 3 episodes, it was a lot of work but the effort seems to be appreciated. Let’s hope you get your updated software 😊 Best wishes Carl

Carl, when can we expect this in 10 different languages😂. Happy New Year and a huge thank you.

Hi Mike, LOL... thankyou. But actually I have recently started adding subtitles in 7 different languages to my videos, I've finished the last 8 episodes but still lots to do. Happy new year Carl

I just bought a dedicated track bike and the rear brake has so many uses and the weird feelings of backing it in, adding brake when doing wheelies, adding brake mid-turn to stabilize, and much more, isn’t hard, but does surprise you if you’re not used to it, and should be practiced on closes circuits. The wheelie control should be there for everyone, but I agree on being very careful with turning rear ABS off if you haven’t been riding for most of your life without ABS or are proficient with non-ABS at the track.

Thank you! I bought a R1250RS this year and I've been extremely curious about what exactly is happening in these various modes and combinations of modes. I just watched a video on the new S1000RR and it appears to actually have a visual graphic representation of it's modes on the TFT that gives a little more detail of what is happening.

Carl, this series was outstanding, a huge help. So appreciative of your efforts. I just emailed you about a project I'm about to undertake, please mine that out of your inbox in a quiet moment and give it some thought. Would be delighted to collaborate with you on it.

Hi Nils, good morning, I will get back to you about your question. Thankyou for your feedback... I'm glad so many owners enjoy the episodes. Best wishes Carl

Just finished this mini-series. Fantastic production Carl; clearly a heck of a lot of work/research has gone into this and the end result really does work. I now have a better (not going to say 'full' just yet) understanding of these systems. I don't suppose there's anywhere that the spreadsheet can be downloaded so that I can use it as I'm stood over my bike and working out the various options?

Hi Martin Thankyou it was as you guessed a lot of work and many phone calls and emails to BMW technical team to put this series together, so I’m delighted that many owners are finding it helpful. The spread sheet is not yet available but I hope to have a solution at some point Best wishes Carl

Excellent

This video is Must Watch for anyone who owns a GS with these riding modes! Being an owner of a GS 1250 since 2020, I highly recommend you watch this before plugging in the Chip. After watching this I decided to unplug my chip since, being honest with myself, I do not need the dynamic and Enduro pro mode and prefer the numerous automatic safety features in the normal riding modes. 🤙

I did that too at the first moment when I was told by a friend that there were some safety features that would be lost. Nevertheless, after watching this fantastic explanation by Carl, I understood that, particularly on the dynamic pro, you could have some more features without loosing any safety . ( about the Enduro Pro it was clear for me that you would definitely loose safety). Did I misunderstand something?

Hello and welcome 🙏, yes that’s correct when you use Pro mode you are turning off or lowering the safety features. These 2 Pro modes are for experienced riders. Best wishes Carl

Thanks Carl, but isn’t it true that with the dynamic pro you can maintain all the same safeties as the “no pro” dynamic, even increase some of them?

Have a good read of the chart I made which explains all the options for each mode . Much easier than me typing everything again. But yes you can maintain safety but make sure it’s all set correctly within Dynamic Pro

Hi Jim, thank you 👍

Hi Carl Absolutely brilliant set of three videos that I've watched over and over again. Excellent work, way beyond anything I've seen elsewhere. Thank you so much. For me I think id go for the throttle mapping of Dynamic Pro but dial back the ESA settings to Rain to extend your imaginary safety ring around the rider. Nice concept. I too would be more than happy to purchase your chart when you publish it. Just one question please. I'm picking up my new (to me) Dec 2018 R1250 GS (not Adv) next week. Is it the same as your video or will it missing any of the key elements? Many thanks Stan

Hi Stan and welcome to the channel and thank you for your feedback 🙏. With regards to your new to you GS their are differences between the early 1250 and the later 21 on wards bikes in terms of ride modes and heated grip levels and such, but they are still great bikes. I actually prefer the ride quality on the 2018 model, but you will have lots of fun with your new bike and you have lots of adjustments to get the bike to ride and perform to your requirements. I presume your Rallye will be the blue coloured one which has always been my favourite colour option 👍. I wish for you a fun time getting used to your new ride. Kindest regards Carl
