Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The levels of the ABS system your motorcycle
is equipped with were calibrated with original
equipment tires.
Using tires with different size and characteristics
from the original tires may alter the operating
characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe.
It is recommended not to install tires of different size
than the ones approved for your vehicle.
Motorcycle original equipment: (front 120/70ZR17 -
rear 180/55ZR17).

- Pirelli Scorpion Trail.
Selecting level 2, the ABS will intervene to ensure a
very stable braking, good lift-up control and
prevention, the motorcycle keeps a good alignment
during the whole braking action. By passing from
level 2 to level 1 the system will provide a better
braking power with less action on the stability
maximum control and lift-up control which are
nevertheless active.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
1) The tire/road grip (type of tire, amount of tire
wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions,
etc.).
2) The rider's experience and sensitivity.
In non-perfect conditions (as indicated in point 1) and/
or for less expert riders, we recommend using level
2.
