Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Warning
The ABS levels 1-2-3 settings have been
calibrated using the tyres originally supplied with your
motorcycle (Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsa: 120/70ZR17
at the front and 180/60ZR17 at the rear). The use of
tyres of different size and characteristics to the
original tyres (in particular at the rear) may alter the
operating characteristics of the system.
In the case of minor differences, such as for example,
tyres 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 simply
select the suitable level setting from those available
in order to restore optimal system operation.
If tyres of a different size class are used or if the tyre
dimensions differ significantly from the original tyres,
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 it is advisable to
deactivate the traction control system.
Selecting level 3, the ABS will intervene to ensure a
very stable braking, good lift-up control, the
62
motorcycle keeps a good alignment during the whole
braking. Settings between level 3 and level 1 privilege
more and more the braking power rather than stability
and lift-up control; level 1 provides no lift-up control,
the rear brake is not controlled by the ABS.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the
following parameters:
1) The tyre/asphalt grip (type of tyre, amount of tyre
wear, the road/track surface, weather conditions,
etc.).
2) The rider's experience and sensitivity: expert
riders can tackle a lift-up in trying to reduce the
stopping distance to a minimum, while less
expert riders are recommended to use settings
2 and 3, that will help them keeping the
motorcycle more stable even in emergency
braking.

Engine coolant temperature

The instrument panel receives information about the
engine temperature (already calculated in °C) and
displays the value in the set unit of measurement (°C
or °F), followed by the unit of measurement and the
engine temperature symbol.
