Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

Warning
The 8 level settings of the DTC were calibrated using
tyres of the same make, model and size as those originally
fitted to the motorcycle.
The use of tyres of different size to the original tyres 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 dimensions (rear = 180/60-17; front = 120/70-17),
it may be sufficient to simply select the most suitable level
setting from those available 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 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 control unit will kick in at the
slightest hint that the rear wheel is starting to spin.
Between level 8 and level 1 there are a further 6 intermediate
levels. The level of DTC intervention decreases in equal
steps from level 8 to level 1.
When level 1, 2 or 3 is selected the DTC control unit will
allow the rear wheel to spin and also slide sideways on
exiting a corner; we recommend that this setting is only used
by very experienced riders on the track.
