Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
The levels of the ABS system your motorcycle
is equipped with were calibrated with original
equipment tyres.
The use of tyres of different 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 different size
than the ones approved for your vehicle.
Motorcycle original equipment: (front 120/70ZR17 -
rear 180/60ZR17).
- Pirelli Diablo Rosso II;
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 (front 120/70ZR17 - rear
180/60ZR17), 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
60
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 ABS will intervene to ensure a
very stable braking, good lift-up control, the vehicle
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.
