Tips on how to select the sensitivity level
Attention
Excellent operation of the EBC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with OE tyres and/or
with the ones recommended by Ducati and with the
OE final drive ratio. In particular, OE tyres for this
motorcycle are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP in the
following sizes: 120/70ZR17 at the front, 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 thus making
it unsafe. It is recommended not to install tyres of
different size than the ones approved for your vehicle.
As far as tires are concerned, in the case of minor
differences, such as for example, tires of a different
make and/or model than the OE ones, it is necessary
to use the relevant automatic calibration function in
order to restore correct system operation.
As far as the final ratio is concerned, when using a
different ratio (which is only possible for track use)
than the original equipment one, it is recommended
to use the relevant automatic calibration function in
order to restore optimal system operation.

Selecting level 3, the EBC will kick in to ensure the
minimum engine brake possible. Between level 3 and
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:
1) The grip (type of tire, amount of tire wear, the
road/track surface, weather conditions, etc.).
2) The characteristics of the path/circuit (bends all
taken at similar speeds or at very different
speeds).
3) The riding mode (whether the rider has a
"smooth" or a "rough" style).
