Lou, its just a pump on the rear shock which is controlled by a button near the blinker cluster. It has different settings, sport, comfort, two up etc... On my R1200R i have't used it much, i just keep it on the comfort setting which makes the rear shock 'spongey' ive tried the 'sport' setting but its to bloody hard & you can feel every little bump in the road.

But yeah, its the way of the future Lou, everything will be controlled by bloody senors & whiz bang electronic stuff. Not many 'basic' bikes left on the showroom floor these days.

And more things that can go wrong and possibly leave you stranded on the roadside, too!
