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.
The originally supplied tyres are: (front 120/70ZR17 -
rear 190/55ZR17).
-
Pirelli Scorpion Trail.
- Pirelli Angel GT;
Selecting level 3, the ABS will intervene to ensure a
very stable braking, good lift-up control, allowing the
vehicle to keep a good alignment during the whole
braking. Switching from level 3 to level 2, braking
power is given priority over stability and lift-up control:
level 2 provides no lift-up control.
Level 1 is designed for off-road use. This level
provides no lift-up control, while the rear brake is
controlled so as to guarantee prolonged slipping of
the rear wheel. Front and rear combined braking is
active.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
1) The tyre/road surface grip (type of tyre, amount
of tyre wear, type of road/track surface, weather
conditions, etc.).
2) The rider's experience and sensitivity: expert
riders can tackle a lift-up in trying to reduce the
stopping distance to a minimum, while less
expert riders are recommended to use setting 3,
that will help them keep the vehicle more stable
even in emergency braking.
