Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The EBC levels 1-2-3 settings have been
calibrated using the tires originally supplied with your
motorcycle (Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa 120/70ZR17 at
the front and 180/60ZR17 at the rear). The use of tires
of different size and characteristics from the original
tires (in particular at the rear) 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 = 180/60 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 3 available level settings will
give satisfactory results. In this case is it is advisable
to deactivate the traction control system.
Selecting level 3, the EBC will kick in to ensure the
minimum engine brake possible. Between level 3 and
70
level 1 the engine brake is increasing progressively;
with EBC OFF you set the maximum engine brake
possible.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
-
The tire/asphalt grip (type of tire, amount of tire
wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions,
etc.).
-
The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
taken at similar speeds or at very different
speeds).
-
The Riding Mode.
-
Level depends on grip conditions: the choice of
level setting depends greatly on the grip
conditions of the track/circuit (see below, tips for
use on the track and on the road).
-
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 different braking power will
require an EBC level setting that is the best
compromise for all instances.
