   Thanks BMW for providing information.

2. 00:39

   ECO, RAIN & ROAD Modes

   00:39

   ECO mode is based on RAIN mode with reduced torque for fuel efficiency.

   00:56

   RAIN mode offers maximum traction control and a softer throttle response for wet conditions.

   01:01

   ROAD mode provides a more performance-oriented throttle response compared to ECO and RAIN.

3. 01:07

   DYNAMIC & DYNAMIC PRO Modes

   01:07

   DYNAMIC mode allows for slight wheelies, reduced rear wheel lift detection, and moderate engine braking.

   05:49

   DYNAMIC PRO mode offers customizable settings for DTC, ABS Pro, and throttle response.

   08:12

   DYNAMIC PRO with Dyna-Pro settings turns off most safety systems except for front ABS.

   10:27

   DYNAMIC PRO should only be used by experienced riders due to the reduced safety net.

4. 16:39

   ENDURO & ENDURO PRO Modes

   16:39

   ENDURO mode is designed for road-based Enduro tires and offers reduced traction control, ABS, and engine braking.

   17:41

   ENDURO PRO mode is specifically designed for knobby off-road tires and offers further reduced safety controls.

   20:14

   ENDURO PRO allows for customization of throttle response while maintaining other Enduro Pro settings.

   21:08

   ENDURO PRO should only be used by experienced riders off-road with appropriate tires.
