V100 Mandello Suspension Thread

[scott_m]

Can anyone give guidance on the Mandello S Ohlins settings, particularly the Manual ones? The manual is a bit vague. Do higher numbers in all 4 settings mean softer?

You have to READ, not just glance at it. It's right there in the manual. Section 6.


6) MGCS (Moto Guzzi Suspension Control) - where required


The MGCS menu allows you to adjust the parameters of the OHLINS electronic suspension based on the preferences of the rider and the use conditions of the vehicle.


The changes made will be effective on all Riding modes.


The MGCS menu consists of the following entries:

• 6.1)
  Manual dynamic / Manual comfort
• 6.2)
  Automatic dynamic / Automatic comfort

6.1) Manual dynamic / Manual comfort


These menus allow modifying the suspension settings in "manual" mode, by operating electronically on the hydraulic settings. Each of the two modes is preset by the parent company and it is always possible to return to the factory settings.


The editable parameters in these two modes are the following:

• -
  Front compression
• -
  Front rebound
• -
  Rear compression
• -
  Rear rebound

Once the parameter to be modified has been highlighted, using the MODE UP / DOWN buttons, it is possible to increase it by one point by briefly pressing the MODE RIGHT button.


Keep the MODE RIGHT button pressed to continuously increase the value until the button is released. Once the maximum setting value has been reached, the count will restart from the minimum value.


With a long press of the MODE SET button, the selected parameter will be reset to the factory value.


The "compression/extension" parameters can be modified from minimum 1 (HARD) to a maximum 31 (SOFT) (one unit corresponds to one click of a traditional suspension)


Briefly press on the MODE SET button to return to the "MGCS" menu.

6.2) Automatic dynamic / Automatic comfort


The automatic modes actively adapt the suspension and relative adjustments based on the vehicle's behaviour in relation with the riding style. Each of the two modes is preset by the parent company and it is always possible to return to the factory settings.


The editable parameters in these two modes are the following:

• -
  Front firmness (front damping)
• -
  Rear firmness (rear damping)
• -
  Brake support (brake assistance)

Once the parameter to be modified has been highlighted, using the MODE UP / DOWN buttons, it is possible to increase it by one point by briefly pressing the MODE RIGHT button.


Keep the MODE RIGHT button pressed to continuously increase the value until the button is released. Once the maximum setting value has been reached, the count will restart from the minimum value.


With a long press of the MODE SET button, the selected parameter will be reset to the factory value.


The values can be modified from a minimum of -5 (SOFT) to a maximum of +5 (HARD).


Briefly press on the MODE SET button to return to the "MGCS" menu.

I have actually read the manual, but unfortunately there are some wording differences between the manual language and the settings themselves, e.g. "compression/extension" isn't a parameter in the actual settings.

I'm hoping someone with an S model who's experimented with the settings can advise on softer settings within the automatic and manual comfort modes.
