Tips on how to select the intervention level
Attention
The calibration of all levels of the DTC system
fitted to your vehicle has been carried out with the
original equipment tyres of your motorbike, in
particular the original equipment tyres of your
vehicle can be found in the "Technical specifications"
section of this manual. The use of tyres of different
size and characteristics 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, it may be sufficient to
simply select the suitable level setting from those
available in order to restore optimal system
operation. If tyres of a different size class are used or
if the tyre size differs 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 it is
advisable to deactivate the traction control system.
If level 8 is selected, the DTC system will kick in at the
slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are intermediate
levels. DTC intervention decreases from level 8 to
level 1. Levels 1, 2 and 3 allow both spinning and
skidding of the rear wheel out of a corner: these
levels are recommended only for expert riders.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
1) The tyre/asphalt 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 road).
Level depends on type of track
If the track/path features bends all taken at similar
speeds, it will be easier to find a level suitable for all
bends; while a track/path with bends all requiring
