- Опубліковано 25 лип 2024
- Dynamic ESA: What is it ? How does it work ? How do we get the most from BMW Dynamic ESA and DDC systems on our motorbikes, but most importantly what do all the buttons do when we press or select them ?.
This is Part 2: Dynamic ESA Explained: will be covered over TWO episodes
Part 3 will specifically cover the 7 - Riding Modes and what each mode does in relation to ABS, DTC and power delivery.
If you have any questions about what I cover in this episode, let me know in the comments section and I will reply to you.
My aim is to release one new episode approximately every 2/3 weeks, sometimes a little sooner, and currently I am working on the “Michelin Adventure Tyres” episode and the “Tour of Norway” episodes, and on the light / indicator kits that solve the Multifunction issues many of us owners have.
Hopefully you enjoy the content I create, so by Subscribing you are letting me know that you appreciate the effort and time I invest in creating these episodes, and it also helps to grow and develop the channel.
Thank you, Carl

The SOLUTION for the multifunction indicator issues, should be available later this week. I was asked by the manufacturer to wait until the new UK / EU website has been finished which should be a couple of days more. Most of my riding friends now want these lights on their bikes, so I'm going to be very busy over winter. Carl
Hi Carl, is this already available?
Yes and installed on my bike ( 2021 GS Rallye) I’ve uploaded several guides to help owners install these lights and many owners have now done the same installation. Subscribe and go to my channel and your find all the information you need. Let me know if I can help
Regards Carl
do you think the older bikes were better as far as the display and esa?
also do you thing the base GS with a traditional shock is better as far as compression and rebound?
Hi, the new TFT display is brilliant and so is the dynamic ESA.
The pre 2018 bikes had a slightly better preload setting or spring rate.
This is definately the best explanation for the IMU that I have ever heard. Well done Mate, you know your stuff!
Thank you 👍
The amount of work to properly edit these videos is impressive! Thank you for the effort.
Hi Oad, thank you, yes it takes a lot of time. But hopefully more enjoyable to watch. Carl
There really is a lot going on and is reflected in the price of our bikes. I like to see the value in all of the engineering that goes into a premium bike and you have shown that to us again. As always, excellent. Thank you.
Hi Brian, yes there is a lot of technology in these bikes we don't see, technology that keeps us safe and allows us to ride these big heavy and powerful bikes. I am pleased subscribers enjoy them, I enjoy putting them together. Carl
I am watching now for hours and I really enjoy what I learn from you :-)
Thankyou, and welcome to the channel, glad to hear you are enjoying the episodes I make. best wishes Carl
Wow!…I've been riding different versions of these amazing machines for years. Ive always left the suspension button alone and left it on auto.
At last i understand what it does and the benefits of using the correct settings.
Such a well presented video from a very knowledgeable guy. Thanks Carl.
Hi Beans, thank you 🙏 we are all never to old to learn something new 😉, glad you enjoyed the Dynamic ESA series, happy riding.
Kindest regards Carl
@@justthewayitis thanks Carl, just right into the riding mode control video right now 👍
Enjoy
This is so well explained! I'm Norwegian so my first language isn't English-speaking but you explain and giving out the information to clearly! Thank you! 👏🏼
Hi Linn, thank you for the compliment 🙏, and I am pleased you enjoyed the episode and you found it easy to follow. Our bike club visited Norway last July and it was a great tour, Beautiful scenery, great weather and friendly people 👍.
I hope to finish a video about our tour later this year.
Kindest regards Carl
Finally someone explains on UA-cam how Dynamic ESA works! Have a GS for 2 years and could not fully understand how the suspension works!! Thank you very much for this and all the videos!!
Thank you, your welcome. Carl
Just found your brilliant channel, I pick my 1250GS next week and after a break from riding of 4 years and coming from a standard 1200GS this explains all the modes very well
Hi Stuart, well congratulations for next week, and welcome back, you’ve picked a brilliant bike for your return.
Thank you for saying hello
Kind regards Carl
Thanks heaps for explaining 'all' this very simply and clearly. I've been a little concerned with going into the settings but you have made it really straight forward. Much obliged. Happy riding. Cheers, Simon, Australia.
Good morning Australia, thankyou you Simon, yes, this is all I hoped to achieve with these two episodes, to give owners a chance to understand it a little more and have a play with the settings. The GS is extremely capable you just need to choose the correct setting for the way you ride. Enjoy your GS
Best wishes Carl
It's definitely the most explanatory video i have ever seen. You know your job very well. Keep up the good job
Hi Marios thank you for the feedback, best wishes Carl glad you are enjoying the series
Exceptional job sir! I have been a Medevac and Rescue Helicopter pilot for over 34 years now and I am amazed at the similarity of the stability systems on my 2022 BMWR1250GSA and my Augusta 119 helicopter! Your explanation, physical demonstrations (stick and tennis balls) paint a vivid picture...you would make an excellent helicopter instructor! I have been trying to get my head rapped around the differences of my new GSA and my trusty old 2003 GS1150, and you again did a great job building that picture for me. Thank you.
Good morning Olaf, thank you for your kind words about the videos and explanations. Congratulations on your 22 GSA it’s a lovely motorbike and very capable on tour. In our local bike club we have 3 and they are all GSA models.
Best wishes for a fun summer season ahead for you.
Carl
Brilliant. Thank you. Your knowledge is so helpful. Just one point. You mention this system is from 2021 onwards yet I had a Jan 2020 F850GS with ESA and all the function mentioned here so the system must have been introduced earlier. I just wish I had seen your video a while ago. Thanks. John
Hi John, yes on the F850GS 👍, I’m pleased you enjoyed the 3 part series, and hope you are enjoying your GS.
Best wishes Carl
Really really good! You say “thanks for see the video”, but I say: Thank you, for realize this master class! I going to enjoy more my two weeks ago new GSA. Best regards from Mexico.
Hi Alphonse... good morning Mexico. Thankyou 👍, and I wish you lots of fun with your new GS. Carl
Most helpful and illuminating video (series) I've seen yet. BMW should include YOU with every purchase!
Hi Ray, thank you, perhaps you can let BMW know... lol.
Then maybe they will allow me to test more bikes. Best wishes Carl
@@justthewayitis I'll mention it!
👍
Thank you, such a clear and easy way to understand these beautiful machines
Hi Ryan, good morning 🙋🏻♂️, thank you for your kind message.
Best wishes Carl
Why didn't I know your channel before? I think I'll get to know my 1200GS Rallye from 2018 better now ;)
Great explanation about the misleading names BMW has chosen, for ride and damping modes
Hi Omar, thank you 🙏 and I’m pleased you are enjoying the GS explanations series. Feel free to share with your GS friends.
The 2018 Rallye version in Blue is my favourite colour option 👍
Kind regards Carl
Once again you knocked it out of the park. Excellent explanations as always.
Thank you Correy.
Thank you very much! You have done a sterling job making this video. And taking your time to explain in detail. I am now understanding and appreciating the work engineers have done on this bike
Hi George, welcome to the channel ...and thank-you, this is exactly what i hoped for, viewers understanding more about these amazing bikes and having a little fun along the way. More episodes to come.... but it does take me quite some time to put each episode together. Best Wishes Carl
Excellent presentation and explanation. Thank you Carl. Looking forward to the indicators episode !!
Hi Nick, thank you I am slowly beginning to feel normal in front of the camera.. Carl

A very high quality video and content.
Thank you for your work !
Can't wait to see the episode on your new indicators !
Until now, (6 month of riding) no one told me I forgot to switch them of but I think it may be confusing for "cagers".

Very good and detailed explanation ! Thank you very much!
Hi Sergey, welcome to the channel, thank you for the feedback, best wishes Carl
Agree with most of your comments.
Last year we rode some of the passes in the French and Spanish Pyrenees. I was riding solo but fully loaded and wanted to get a bit of a wriggle on. The bike was in Auto DSA and Dynamic Pro riding mode. The suspension coming out of slow hairpins was ideal but the throttle response was too severe with the bike leant over at slow speed. I suppose I could have fiddled about in the ‘Pro’ setting of Dynamic and altered the throttle input but it was easier on the move to change the riding mode to Road and set the suspension control to Dynamic. It gave me the ideal setup for exiting those slow hairpins. Very clever stuff.
Also agree about those indicators and await with interest your solution.
I’ve supplemented mine with Denali T3’s front and rear controlled with a Hex Ezecan and am now happy that my indicators and brake lights can be seen clearly. Of course it doesn’t solve the issue some have had with the front DRL’s being confused as indicators, but to date I haven’t had anyone pull out on me.
Hi String, thank you for sharing your experience with settings, like you I found on our Norway tour with all the slow speed corners up and down the Fjords, Ride Mode : Road, Damping : Dynamic and preload: Auto. Worked best. Its actually very nice to be able to mix the settings depending on the roads. Yes, more to follow with regards to the indicators. Carl
Thank you so much for making the whole matter understandable
Hello Fabio, you are very welcome 🙏 and I’m pleased you enjoyed it. There’s a lot to understand but it’s fun to share how it all works. Carl
Thank you, great video - great explanations!!!
Hi Eric, thank you ,riding modes episode to follow.
Very well explained!!!
Good morning Max, thank you 🙏, kind regards Carl
Ipressive explanation. Thank you!!!!
Thank you 🙏
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 your explanation of pitch, roll and yaw reminded me of my flight instructor, sounds like my GSA1250 is missing a wing.
Lol.... thankyou 😏
Fantastic video!
Thank you 🙏
Truly excellent video(s) !
Hi Kevin, 🙏 thank you
Excellent videos. Subscribed!
Thank you for Subscribing, I do appreciate it. 👍
I don’t really understand why viewers resist subscribing it’s free and has a really big impact on supporting the channel, and allowing it to grow on UA-cam.
Anyway, happy Easter weekend when it arrives, Carl
Great explanations, in both Part One and Part Two. On my non-Dynamic ESA, 2018 R1200RT, I leave the right hand Mode button in Dynamic . Depending on luggage and/or pillion I'll changing the preload . I switch between Normal and Hard on my dampening depending on cornering enthusiasm. I tried Soft (dampening) a couple time on rough roads. Waay too soft for my liking.
Hi Gordon, thank you for sharing your thoughts and setting for the RT, I'm sure will help other RT users. Best wishes Carl
another excellent video.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks sir for the amazing content. ❤
Hi Sibi, good morning and thank you 🙏, Carl
Excelent content ! Hello from Romania !
Hello and welcome to the channel RDS, thank you.
Hello Carl. I just acquired a BMW R1250 GS Adventure 40th year edition back in June of 2022. Haven't even drilled down to much on the options available you've explained here as I've been fussing with 3 other bikes I've just added as I'm a new rider at 72 years playing "catch up" with riding here in the heartland of the USA. Now I see what those terms are about because as you've explained they used the same word to describe a setting at a different place! I'm now excited about experimenting with them as you being an excellent instructor having illumined me as to how they can be selected and for what purpose and effect. I better subscribe! Thanks mate!
Hello Tall tree and thank you for your feedback and subscribing. Glad to hear you have enjoyed the series and find the episodes helpful. Have fun on your motorbikes...
Kind regards Carl
Well explained, thanks!
Good morning California, thankyou.
That’s a hell of explanation👍 good job
Hello Paulo, yes it was...more to follow in Part 3
@@justthewayitis I will be waiting for it😆 thanks

Very helpful. Thanks a lot
Hello Atul thank you for your feedback and welcome to the channel

Good work, Carl!
Thank you Klaus...
Thankyou ! Very clear!
Thank you David 🙏🙋🏻♂️
thanks mate ive learnt more about my GS in Two vids than i have in 18 months of owning it lol , i was wondering why i was going through two front tyres in 18800 KS on road, thanks awesome vids keep em coming,l all the best from OZ , ps, GOD SAVE THE KING
Hi Garth, good morning, yes King Charles.. that's going feel very strange for many years. Glad you found the two episodes helpful, and enjoy your summer...
Best wishes Carl
very well explained carl
Hi Bob, thank you.
Great job in describing yaw!
The US versions of the GS/A have always had different style (often incandescent) indicators.
Hi Samsara, thank you. Carl
Excellent thanks 👍
Hi Peter, thank you 👍
My dealer/sales guy told me to watch the three videos this kind sir produced. 😂 he confused me more than anything.
Hello SSG and welcome to the channel. I do hope you enjoyed them and leaned something new. Please say thank you to your dealer from me when you next visit.
Best wishes Carl
really great video 🔥🔥
Thank you José, glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Karl another amazing video. You have just made my day about sorting the indicators. How they ever got passed is beyond me. Can’t wait to see that video so I can get some. Hopefully that will be coming soon. Will there also be an installation video on them.
Regards
Andrew
Hi Andrew, good morning. Yes several episodes coming about the indicators, how they have been designed, how they work, the many many install options there are... and the different operating modes you can choose....more to come soon. Carl
Amazing tutorial. you almost get the feel that you are on a plane
Hello Les, thank you for the feedback, I am pleased that you have enjoyed the episode, best wishes Carl
I just picked up a 23' GS and trying to do some learning, I mean I'm still confused but it's not because of your video. That was well done, it's just me that's still confused.
Hi Michael, don’t worry it takes time to learn all the features and functions, and then more time to find what works best for you on your normal riding roads and your riding style.
But, once that process is completed you have an extremely capable motorbike
Best wishes Carl
Thanks again!👍
No problem 😉
Well explained thanks.
No problem.
Good videos Carl thanks, this stuff is really quite complex & maybe using words such as toggle & default might help at times.
Hi Nick, yes perhaps it would. Thankyou.
Excellent training video.
Hello and welcome to the channel Thank you 🙏
@@justthewayitis I really enjoy the methodical and simple approach you take in your lessons.
Thank-you, i do try my best. Smile

Very interesting
Thank you
Very good. Thk U.
Thank you.
Always brill

Looking forward to your DRL light replacement vid. I have the new multifunction and although no close shaves , I like you am not convinced BMW were thinking straight when they installed them as an option.
Hi, yes many owners think the same. New indicator episode will come soon. Carl
Just hope its not the weiser solution. As good as that looks I dont think i can stretch to that sort of pricing.. look forward to next episode. 🙂
As just mentioned to another subscriber in the comments section, I hope to also be able to provide a discount code...more information to follow. Carl
Agree with the indicator rubbish. Looking forward to seeing this new kit.
Hi Aaron, thank you, more information to follow once I'm finished testing.
Great video! Very complete, very detailed. REQUEST: One thing I'd like to know more about is with the suspension settings in Dynamic/Auto, the difference between Dynamic and Dynamic Pro. Is there more performance with the Pro if all settings are left full on? I'm very curious! Thank you!
Hello Fall Bang Skid....great name. So I'm going to cover more about Dynamic and Dynamic Pro in the next episode... because part 2 was already 26 mins long.
Best wishes Carl
Thank you
Your very welcome 🙏
Great job ! Even a Texan can understand!
Hi Rusty, lol... thankyou.
That is an excellent explanation and video. Some of the comments do make me smile. Some didn't know what any of the settings do, or that by pressing this button it could make the bike do this etc etc, these are not cheap bikes, people buy them, yet have little or no understanding of what any of it can do!! The marketing people at BMW must be laughing their A**** off.
Again excellent video.
Hi Frank welcome to the channel and thank you for your feedback. We are all different and some owners just get on and ride… never giving a thought to setup or adjustments, while others like to know exactly how everything works and then test all the options.
I’m glad owners find the series informative and useful.
I personally like to understand and try everything and make my own mind up as to which setting I like best.
Have a great weekend Frank
Carl
@@justthewayitis Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Your welcome Frank 👍
Wauuu fantastic 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hi Robert and welcome to the channel. 👍
Thank you for this 2nd part of suspension explanations. Is there a complete listing of ALL the combinations possible, and the results that is providing plus examples of real situations a specific combination would be suggested for ?
Hello PSJ, there are 36 possible combinations.
3 preload x 2 damping x 5 ride modes = 30.
Plus, 3 preload x 2 enduro modes = 6.
That would be a big chart and hard to explain clearly, especially if you then want reall world scenarios for these 36 possible option.
I did consider doing this but I couldn't find a simple way to explain and demonstrate this. So it sounds like YOU have found yourself a new task for the weekend.... smile.
Did you make a chart @psj3940? ;)
Oh my, finally some news on changing those dreaded DRL units. I have wanted to change these since buying my GSA last September, now you have done the same it seams but are keeping us waiting for your next video, any chance you can let me know now where to sourced these please?
Hi Chris, all in good time,... I'm still testing and making sure I'm 100% happy. Have a great Sunday. Carl
Hi Carl any chance you could at some time cover engine tick and tyre noise (ie michelin anakee tyres) i have the same model same year machine
my personal experience is the bike seems noisy, great channel
Hi Easy, I will add them to my list... smile. Yes the left hand tick does initially sound strange. Carl
Very interesting but I have a 2020 F850 GSA and want to know if you have done a tutorial on the suspension setting as it's a Pre 2021 machine and I don't have the latest settings.. Thanks.
Hi JC, welcome to the channel. I haven’t made a video on the F850 GSA, if BMW let me have one for a month I would.
Perhaps you can find what your looking on your local BMW F forum ?
Best wishes Carl
Great 2 episodes explaining the suspension. Re: the indicators - are you saying that for USA models, the amber indicators were not approved by DOT so BMW had to fit the white LEDs? I have a ‘22 GSA USA model - it has amber front indicators?
Hi Hogdrive, the US has the same front options we have in EU and UK. It's the multifunction on the rear that the DOT did not approve.
In the US the main rear lamp has both Side Light and Brake light functions.
In the EU and UK we only have Brake light function in the main rear lamp.
The Side light has been moved to the indicators which makes in terrible to see exactly what is happening.
The indicators in the EU and UK have three functions to perform.
Indicator flash
Brake light
Side light.
Carl
@@justthewayitis Yes, The US does not allow the Multifunction indicators on the BMW, at least this is what my BMW dealer stated when I asked after watching your segment about the lighting packages.
My '22 GS Rallye has the horizontal "V" light style amber indicators. For me, the video was a little unclear when you were talking of changing out the indicators from amber to white. It seemed like you were talking about the color of the indicators not the multifunction system. Maybe I missed something?
Like the others have said in their posts, your videos are well done and very informative... Top notch!
Hello and welcome to the channel. Yes I also had the V style amber lights on the front. They are now replaced by a bright White running light (replacing the amber colour) which is a big improvement. They still flash amber when indicating and are Much brighter than the OEM indicators. I will explain the changes to the front and rear in an up coming episode which I hope, will make the improvements very clear to understand. For me at least.. its resolved all the issues and safety concerns I had. More information to come soon. Best wishes Carl
Looking forward to seeing your solution for the indicator issue as I'm in 100% agreement with you about the standard multifunction setup. I had my front ones switched off of DRL mode at the first service but haven't managed to do anything with the rears yet. Have looked at Denali and Weiser Technik setups both of which could solve the issue but are quite expensive. Interested to see if you've found a cheaper solution.
Hello TSport, that episode is few weeks away, but its getting closer. You might like to wait until that episode 😏, as I hope to give subscribers a discount code too.
Very good video!! I am also interested in the lights as I agree. Can’t understand how they think the rear lights are safe combined with the indicators. Especially since previous models had such good, bright LED indicators.
No one understands why BMW did this.
