Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Warning
The 8 DTC level settings have been calibrated
using the same tyres as those originally supplied with
your motorcycle (same make, model and size).
The use of tyres of different size 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 (rear = 190/55-17; front
= 120/70-17), it may be sufficient to simply select the
suitable level setting from those available to restore
optimal system operation.
If tyres of a different size class are used or if the tyre
dimensions differ 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 is it is advisable
to deactivate the traction control system.
If level 8 is selected, the DTC control unit will kick in
at the slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to
spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are a further 6
intermediate levels. The level of DTC sensitivity
decreases in equal steps from level 8 to level 1.
Levels 1 and 2 are specifically designed for OFF-
ROAD conditions and do not ensure a suitable control
with poor grip on asphalt.
When level 3 or 4 is selected the DTC control unit will
allow the rear wheel to spin and also slide sideways
on exiting a corner; we recommend that this setting
is only used by very experienced riders on the track.
The choice of the correct level depends on 3 main
variables:
1) The 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).
Relation of the DTC sensitivity level to grip conditions:
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/circuit (see below, tips for
use on the track and on the road).
