Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
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 Rosso Corsa II 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.
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 level that ensures a more aggressive DTC
intervention.
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
different speeds will require a DTC level setting that
is the best compromise for all bends.
Level depends on riding style
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a "smooth"
riding style, where the motorcycle is leaned over
