Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Warning
The levels of the ABS system your motorcycle
is equipped with were calibrated with original
equipment tyres.
The use of tyres of different size and characteristics
to the original tyres may alter the operating
characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe.
It is recommended not to install tyres of different size
than the ones approved for your vehicle.
Motorbike original equipment: (front 120/70ZR17 -
rear 180/55ZR17).
-
Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP;
- Pirelli Diablo Rosso II;
- Pirelli Scorpion Trail.
If level 2 is selected, the ABS system will be activated
to ensure a very stable braking and a good bike
control as well as to prevent any lift-up, thus allowing
a good vehicle alignment during the whole braking
action. When shifting from level 2 to level 1, braking
power will be favoured compared to max. stability
control and lift-up prevention, which is nevertheless
still active.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
1) Tyre/road grip conditions (type of tyre, amount of
tyre wear, the road/track surface, weather
conditions, etc.).
2) Rider experience and skill.
Under poor grip conditions (see point 1) and/or for
less experienced riders, we recommend using level
2.
