Question: Does anyone know what the "Standard" settings are in Road, Rain, Dynamic riding modes for Engine, ABS, DTC, Etc?

Unlike with my Ducati, the base or standard values for each is not listed in the owners manual. Reason for asking is to know whether one can say, go in and increase the engine braking in Race Pro 1 but leave all other values the same as they are in say, Dynamic Mode? Or leave have all the settings the same as the Road Mode but turn change the wheelie control to allow the bike to wheelie....curious...

Thanks -

you dont have to know what the base settings are to make RP1 RP2 RP3 react the way you seek.

Put wheelie control in MIN
Put Engine Brake at MAX
Put Suspension in lowest settings and work it up from there to how you think it should feel.

You have 3 modes. Set each one slightly different , ride and test, reset or use what you first find in the settings to work.

This is the best I have found that slightly defines the settings

That is awesome. So much to learn on this scoot. Thanks!

BMW_388, this is excellent! and exactly what I was looking for. I tend to run in Dynamic Mode for just general spirited around town stuff...

Now having a general idea of what that means in terms of the individual settings provides a much clearer picture on how the bike will be affected with a change to a specific setting. For example, I had no idea that the throttle response was somewhat reduced in Dynamic vs. Race.... Very useful.... Thanks again -

its just called rider preference.
How you learned to ride on previous bikes of the past.
comfort zone in braking.

Many reasons someone will run min or max engine braking. I happen to like alot of engine braking too. It actually makes me aware that I need to stay on the throttle longer. Off throttle equals no power, no go. I do analysis of my On Throttle Time each lap. I strive to improve to 40% WOT of the lap. That makes good lap times.

I run on either Dynamic or Race but definitely can feel the powerband on RACE - (and it pops/crackles too ;)).
