Tips on how to select the sensitivity level Attention The DTC levels 2-3-4-5-6-8 settings have been calibrated using the tyres originally supplied with your motorcycle (Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP 120/70ZR17 at the front and 200/55ZR17 at the rear). The use of tyres of different size and characteristics to the original tyres 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 8 available level settings will give satisfactory results. In this case is it is advisable to deactivate the traction control system. If level 8 is selected, the DTC system will kick in at the slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin. Attention The DTC level 1 setting has been calibrated using tires with SC2 compound (Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC2), which are not originally supplied with your motorcycle. The use of this level with tires having different characteristics may alter the operating characteristics of the system. Attention The DTC level 7 setting has been calibrated using Rain tyres (Pirelli Diablo Rain with size 190/55 ZR17 at the rear) that are not those originally supplied with your motorcycle. The use of this level with tyres having different characteristics may alter the operating characteristics of the system. 65
