Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The calibration of all levels of the DTC system
your motorcycle is equipped with was carried out
with original equipment tyres: front TL PIRELLI
Diablo Rosso III D in size 120/70 ZR17 M/C (58W),
and rear TL PIRELLI Diablo Rosso III in size 240/45
ZR17 M/ C (82W).
The use of tyres of different size and characteristics
to the original tyres may alter the operating
characteristics of the system.
In the case of minor differences, such as for example,
tyres of a different make and/or model than the OE
ones, but with the same size (front = 120/70 - 17, rear
= 240/45 - 17), it may be sufficient to simply select
the suitable level setting from those available in
order to restore optimal system operation. If tyres of
a different size class are used or if the tyre size differs
significantly from the original tyres, it may be that
the system operation is affected to the point where
none of the 8 available level settings will give
satisfactory results. In this case it is advisable to
deactivate the traction control system.
If level 8 is selected, the DTC system will kick in at the
slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are intermediate
levels. DTC intervention decreases from level 8 to
level 1. Levels 1, 2 and 3 allow both spinning and
skidding of the rear wheel out of a corner: these
levels are recommended only for expert riders.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
1) The tyre/asphalt grip (type of tyre, amount of
tyre wear, the road/track surface, weather
conditions, etc.);
2) The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
taken at similar speeds or at very different
speeds);
3) The riding mode (whether the rider has a
"smooth" or a "rough" style).
Level depends on grip conditions
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/path (see below, tips for
use on the road).
