Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
The calibration of all levels of the DTC system
to your vehicle has been carried out with the
original equipment tyres of your motorbike, in
the original equipment tyres of your
vehicle can be found 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.
In the case of minor such as for example,
tyres of a make and/or model than the OE
ones, but with the same size, it may be to
simply select the suitable level from those
available in order to restore optimal system
operation.
If tyres of a size class are used or if the tyre
size significantly from the original tyres, it
may be that the system operation is to the
point where none of the 4 available level will
give satisfactory results. In this case it is advisable to
deactivate the traction control system.
If level 4 is selected, the DTC system will kick in at the
slightest hint that the rear wheel is to spin.
Between level 4 and level 1 there are intermediate
levels. DTC intervention decreases from level 4 to
level 1. Level 1 allows both spinning and skidding of
the rear wheel out of a corner: this level is
recommended only for riders.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
1) 1. The tyre/asphalt grip (type of tyre, amount of
tyre wear, the road/track weather
conditions, etc.);
2) 2. The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends
all taken at similar speeds or at very
speeds);
3) 3. The riding mode (whether the rider has a
"smooth" or a "rough" style).
Level depends on grip conditions: the choice of level
depends greatly on the grip conditions of the
track/path (see below, tips for use on the road). 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 speeds will require
a DTC level that is the best compromise for
all bends.
