Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Warning
Excellent operation of the EBC 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, 200/60 ZR17
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.
Selecting level 3, the EBC will kick in to ensure the
minimum engine brake possible. Between level 3 and
level 1 the engine brake levels are increasing
progressively; with EBC OFF you set the maximum
engine brake level possible.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
-
The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the
road/track surface, weather conditions, etc.).
- The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
taken at similar speeds or at very different
speeds).
- The Riding Mode.
