Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Excellent operation of the ABS system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with the OE brake
system and with OE tyres and/or with the ones
recommended by Ducati. In OE tyres for
this motorcycle are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP in
the following sizes: front 120/70 ZR17 M/C (58W),
rear 200/60 ZR17 M/C (80W). The use of tyres of
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 size than the ones approved
for your vehicle.
Selecting level 3, the ABS will ensure a kind of
braking that privileges stability thanks to
control, and the motorcycle will keep a good
alignment during the whole braking action. ABS
level 3 features active cornering function which, with
vehicle leaning over, prevents wheel lockup and
skidding as much as possible, within the physical
limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road
conditions.
Selecting level 2, the ABS will privilege more and
more the braking power rather than stability and
control, which is disabled in level 2. ABS level 2
features active cornering function which, with
vehicle leaning over, prevents wheel lockup and
skidding as much as possible, within the physical
limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road
conditions. Moreover, level 2 activates the function
of slide control under braking (available in this level
only).
ABS level 1 is specific for track use and ABS is active
only on the front wheel to help In this
level there is no control, but the cornering
feature remains active.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
1) The tyre/road grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre
wear, the road/track weather
conditions, etc.).
2) The rider's experience and sensitivity:
riders can tackle a in trying to reduce the
stopping distance to a minimum, while less
riders are recommended to use 3,
