It stands to reason that if you bought a hd pan america special with the optional adaptive ride height feature that it would stay on. That's what the custom modes are for. Its not like you have to customize the bike everytime you want to turn off this feature. Set up your custom mode once with the settings you like that have the adaptive ride feature off. After that, any other time that you want to turn off the feature just hit the mode button and chose your custom mode. Not a big deal. Awesome bike.
Agree with you 100%. like I said though I wanted the Special, and I just did not need the ride height adjustment. After riding the bike quite a bit I decided I do like the ride height on auto. the only thing that I don't like about it is when you stop and put the side stand down you have to rock the bike a little to the right to get it down. After riding it a month or so you get used to it.
Thx for the informative video, at the start you comment that you didn't want ARH, but accepted the additional cost to ensure a reasonable delivery lead time. the thing that sucks for you is that you cannot turn it off in the preset ride modes; Rain, Road, and Sport., and even then you don't know how the ARH is configured i.e. Auto, Auto fast, or auto slow. Quite irritating, you basically only have two custom mode options to configure without ARH. I have the opposite problem where I do want ARH but I have no control over how it is configured in the preset ride modes.
The fact that this is the only place to change it is pretty FUBAR. Also considering the ride height adjustment at a stop, combined with the kickstand location means that you cannot deploy the kickstand without leaning the bike to the right when it's at a standstill.
My ride height does not lower all the time when stopping. Ou get confidence in the bike and bingo you stop and it is on full height. I have fallen badly and find an expensive bike unacceptable. Bad news
It did I couldn't find it myself like you. So thx for the quick to the point video

Any chance it’s in a custom ride mode when that happens? It could be locked out in the custom ride mode
