Greetings fellow Wetheads. I am reasonably new to this forum and to the BMW community as a whole. I ordered a new bike last year taking possession in the fall. I recently turned 7000 Km's, so you can say that I'm still breaking it in. My question is this - What mode do you ride in most of the time?
When I picked up the bike, the dealer said that I would only use 2 modes rain and dynamic. I use the bike for weekend trips as well as to commute to work (130 km's each way) which includes areas of heavy traffic, as well as open roads and mountain passes. What I have found so far is this - When in traffic or 2-up I tend to keep the bike in road, when on the open road I switch to Dynamic. Sometimes on longer rides I will switch the damping mode to road while in dynamic.
It is nice to have these options, and I do realize YMMV but I am curious as to how others like to ride and use these functions.
