Tips on how to select the intervention level
Excellent operation of the DWC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with the original
equipment drive ratio of the motorbike and with OE
tyres and/or with the ones recommended by Ducati.
In OE tyres for this motorcycle are
indicated in the “Technical specifications” section of
this manual. 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.
At level 4 the DWC system reduces the motorcycle's
proneness to do wheelies to a minimum level and
sensitively intervenes in case of wheelie. From level
4 to level 1 there are intermediate levels of
intervention for the DWC. Levels 1 and 2 allow easier
wheelies, but reduce their speed: these levels are
recommended only for riders who can control
wheelies on their own and exploit the system feature
that reduces the speed at which the front wheel
tends to
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
●
The rider's experience;
●
The characteristics of the path/circuit (bend exit
with low or high gear engaged).
The rider's experience
The choice of level depends greatly on the
riders' experience and ability to control wheelies on
their own. Levels 1 and 2 require a great experience
to ensure proper control.
Level depends on type of track
If the path allows exiting a turn with strong
accelerations a high level will be necessary (the
highest level is 4); while a path that requires exiting
a turn with low accelerations will allow a
lower level (the lowest level is 1).
Tips for use on the road
Activate the DWC, select level 4 and ride the
motorcycle in your usual style; if the level of DWC
sensitivity seems excessive, try levels 3, 2, etc., until
you find the one that suits you best. If changes occur
in the circuit characteristics, and the level is
no longer suitable, switch to the next level up or
190
