Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The ABS levels 1-2-3 settings have been
calibrated using the tires originally supplied with your
motorcycle (Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP 120/70ZR17
at the front and 200/55ZR17 at the rear). The use of
tires of different size and characteristics from the
original tires (in particular at the rear) may alter the
operating characteristics of the system.
In the case of minor differences, such as tires of a
different make and/or model than the OE ones, but
with the same size (rear = 200/55 ZR17; front =
120/70 ZR17), it may be sufficient to select the
suitable level setting from those available in order to
restore optimal system operation.
If tires of a different size class are used or if the tire
dimensions differ significantly from the original tires,
it may be that the system operation is affected to the
point where none of the 3 available level settings will
give satisfactory results. In this case is it is advisable
to deactivate the traction control system.
Selecting level 3, the ABS will intervene to ensure a
very stable braking, good lift-up control, the vehicle
keeps a good alignment during the whole braking.
Settings between level 3 and level 1 privilege more
and more the braking power rather than stability and
lift-up control; level 1 provides no lift-up control, the
rear brake is not controlled by the ABS and there is
no combined (front/rear) braking power.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
1) The tire/asphalt grip (type of tire, amount of tire
wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions,
etc.).
2) The rider's experience and sensitivity: expert
riders can tackle a lift-up in trying to reduce the
stopping distance to a minimum, while less
expert riders are recommended to use settings
2 and 3, that will help them keeping the vehicle
more stable even in emergency braking.
