Tips on how to select the intervention level
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 OE tyres for this
motorcycle are Pirelli Diablo Corsa II in the following
sizes: front 120/70 ZR17, rear 180/60 ZR17. 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.
As far as tyres are concerned, in the case of minor
such as, for example, tyres of a
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
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 the engine brake levels are increasing
progressively; with level 1 you set the maximum
engine brake level possible.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
1) The grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre wear, the
road/track weather conditions, etc.).
2) The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
taken at similar speeds or at very
speeds).
3) The Riding Mode.
Level depends on grip conditions
The choice of level depends greatly on the
grip conditions of the track/circuit.
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 braking power will
require an EBC system level that is the best
compromise for all instances.
