Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Warning
Excellent operation of the DTC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with OE tyres and/or
with the ones recommended by Ducati and with the
OE final drive ratio. In particular, OE tyres for this
motorcycle are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP in the
following sizes: 120/70ZR17 at the front, 200/60ZR17
at the rear. 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.
As far as tyres are concerned, in the case of minor
differences such as, for example, tyres of a different
make and/or model than the OE ones, it is necessary
to use the relevant automatic calibration function in
order to restore correct system operation.
As far as the final ratio is concerned, when using a
different ratio (which only possible for tracing use)
than the original equipment one, it is recommended
to use the relevant automatic calibration function in
order to restore optimal system operation.
If level 8 is selected, the DTC will kick in at the
slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are other 6
intermediate levels. DTC intervention decreases
regularly from level 8 to level 1.
Level 1 is specifically designed for track use with SC1
compound tyres (Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC1) that
are not the OE ones for this motorcycle. The use of
this level with tyres having different characteristics
may alter the operating characteristics of the system.
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)
Level depends on grip conditions
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the grip
conditions of the track/path (see below, tips for use on
the track and on the road). Poor grip requires a higher
60
