Hi
Following TheMissendenFlyer's recent troubles with his rear ESA... I thought I'd look at the ESA on my 2008 GS Adventure. Bike rides nicely and feels comfy, no obvious problems but I was perturbed by the discussion of "hearing" the ESA adjust. When I press the ESA button tochange from the "1 helmet - 1 helmet + luggage - 2 helmets" and into the "1 mountain, 2 mountains" offroad stuff, I can neither hear nor see/feel any adjustment. This is with engine running and also engine off, ignition on on the side stand. Should I hear or see anything? I can feel no real difference to the riding or handling between the different settings.
So my worry is: is the ESA control actually doing any adjustment? Is it 'obvious' to others when the ESA is operated?
