Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The 8 levels of the DTC system your motorcycle
is equipped with were calibrated with original
equipment tyres (make, model and size). The use of
tyres of different size to the original tyres may alter
the operating characteristics of the system.
System calibration is optimised for these tyres:
-
Pirelli Diablo Rosso III – front 120/70 ZR17, rear
180/55 ZR17
- Pirelli Supercorsa SP v3 – front 120/70 ZR17, rear
180/55 ZR17
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 (rear = 180/55-17; front
= 120/70-17), 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
dimensions differ 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 control unit will kick in
at the slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to
spin. Between level 8 and level 1 there are other 8
intermediate levels.
DTC intervention gradually decreases from level 8 to
level 1.
With levels 1 and 2, DTC control unit allows both rear
tyre spinning and sliding sideways when exiting a
turn; we recommend using these levels only on track
and to very experienced riders.
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).
