Do any bikes let you adjust much on the move, for safety reasons.

Download the R1 manual and have a read about its electronics, as that should cover what you want to know.

For example, my 2010 R1 could adjust the throttle maps when the throttle was closed. My 2014 RSV4 could adjust the 8-stage traction control on the move and the throttle maps when the throttle was closed, but all other aPRC settings had to be done via the menus, which you wouldn't want to be trying to do when riding (I think you had to be stopped to adjust the rest anyway). My 899 can change the pre-configured rider modes on the move, but Ducati recommend stopping first or only when at low speed if you do it on the move.

 

The Chrome light dash allows changing of power modes with the tc/sc/lif/ers (R1M) settings to that mode, on the fly.

You cannot change modes, etc. on the fly on the ’20 R1 (15-20 I believe)

 

Traction control and Slide control are the things I mostly want to be able to adjust on the fly.

 

I hear ya, but no can do. I have to stop moving before you can change any of the rider aid settings. As a matter of fact, you can only change lift control and launch control from the Menu screen.

 

That's where Aprilia's aPRC is good. The plus and minus switches for the traction control are on the left handlebar and are easily accessible with your finger and thumb to adjust it on the move.

 

That's how the R6 is, you just adjust with the up down switch. I figured on the R1 you could highlight TC with the mode button, then toggle it up and down like the R6. Would just be handy when you're on the track and your tires are starting to wear down in the later sessions.

 

Can only adjust while stationary .

 

You cannot change modes ABCD unless you come to a complete stop. You CAN change settings within the mode (tcs, lift, slide, eb) while moving, you just need to lay off the throttle, I do this all the time on my 2020.

 

This is how I was hoping it would work.

 

Looking to get a 2020 R1 once things finally go back to normal. I'm wanting to make sure I understand how the modes work on this bike. Are you able to switch between modes ABCD while the bike is moving? Are you able to change settings within a mode while the bike is moving (such as traction control)?

I have an 1199 now, and on that bike you can switch modes while moving (at any speed). But you can not change settings within the modes unless your stopped.

I've asked the sales people, but they know very little about the bikes. Just trying to clarify things before I buy the bike, then find out on the ride home that it doesn't work quite like I was thinking.

You can’t change modes in motion. But seriously. Just turn everything off. It’s only then it’s the R1. Other modes are good for rain/saving petrol. But there are other bikes out there for those kinda things. Don’t ever use mode D. Basically turns it into a 600. The weight of the bike takes over. And that’s where mistakes will be made.
