Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
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 indicated 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 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 there are progressively increasing engine
brake levels.
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.
Level depends on grip conditions
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/path.
Level depends on type of track
If the track/path requires consistent braking (always
aggressive or always smooth), it will be easier to find
a level suitable for all braking instances; while a
track/path requiring different braking power will
require an EBC system level setting that is the best
compromise for all instances.
