If the track/path features bends all taken at similar
speeds, it will be easier to find a level suitable for all
bends; while a track/path with a hairpin turn to be
taken at very low speed compared to the other bends
will require a DTC level setting that is the best
compromise for all bends (on hairpin turn, DTC
intervention will always be greater compared to the
other bends).
Level depends on riding style:
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a "smooth"
riding style, where the motorcycle is leaned over
further, rather than with a "rough" style, where the
motorcycle is straightened up as quickly as possible
when exiting a turn.
Tips for use on the track
We recommend that level 8 is used for a couple of full
laps (to allow the tyres to warm up) in order to get
used to the system. Then try levels 7, 6, etc., in
succession until you identify the DTC sensitivity level
that suits you best (always try each level for at least
two laps to allow the tyres to warm up).
Once you have found a satisfactory setting for all the
corners except one or two slow ones, where the
system tends to kick in and control too much, you can
try to modify your riding style slightly to a more
"rough" approach to cornering i.e. straighten up more
rapidly on exiting the corner, instead of immediately
trying a different level setting.
Tips for use on the road
Activate the DTC, select level 8 and ride the
motorcycle in your usual style; if the level of DTC
sensitivity seems excessive, try levels 7, 6, etc., until
you find the one that suits you best.
If changes occur in the grip conditions and/or circuit
characteristics and/or your riding style, and the level
setting is no longer suitable, switch to the next level
up or down and proceed to determine the best setting
(e.g. if with level 7 the DTC intervention seems
excessive, switch to level 6; alternatively, if on level 7
you cannot perceive any DTC intervention, switch to
level 8).
