If the count of the residual assisted starts is above
zero, the rider can select on the instrument panel the
desired DPL level by accessing the relevant menu
through the dedicated button.
After selecting the level, the rider must pull the
clutch, engage the first gear and fully open the
throttle twistgrip.
If all operations indicated above have been
performed, the DPL system will show a confirmation
screen on the instrument panel indicating that the
system is ready to start.
The rider must then release the clutch progressively
by keeping the throttle twistgrip fully open.
When the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h, the
dashboard shows the standard screen while keeping
the indication of the selected DPL system level for
the entire duration of the start phase.
The DPL system is switched off when one of the
following conditions is met after completely
releasing the clutch:
vehicle speed higher than 160 km/h;
●
third gear engaged.

The DPL system is switched off also if, after releasing
the clutch, the rider decides to interrupt the start
phase by closing the throttle and bringing the
vehicle speed under 5 km/h.
Attention
The system manages the power delivered by
the engine but not the clutch lever release that
remains under the control of the rider.
During the starting phase, an abrupt release of the
clutch will prevent an optimal behaviour of the
vehicle. Likewise, a prolonged activation of the
clutch may overheat and thus damage it.
Attention
The rider position on the bike may influence the
system behaviour.
Tips on how to select the intervention level

reducing the tendency to wheelie or rear wheel
slipping during the starting phase. Levels 2 and 1
provide a limited intervention of the system.
To identify the DPL level most suitable to your riding
style we recommend to activate the system, select
level 3 and perform a start to become familiar with
