Tips on how to select the intervention level
Attention
Excellent operation of the DWC system, for all
available levels, is ensured only with the original
equipment drive ratio of the motorbike and with OE
tyres and/or with the ones recommended by Ducati.
In particular, OE tyres for this motorcycle are
indicated in the "Technical specifications" section of
this manual. 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.
At level 4 the DWC system reduces the motorcycle's
proneness to do wheelies to a minimum level and
sensitively intervenes in case of wheelie. Between
level 4 and level 1 there are further gradual
intermediate levels of intervention for the DWC.
Levels 1 and 2 allow easier wheelies, but reduce their
speed: these levels are recommended only for track
use and for expert riders who can control wheelies on
their own and exploit the system feature that
186
reduces the speed at which the front wheel tends to
lift.
The choice of the correct level mainly depends on
the following parameters:
The rider's experience;
●
The characteristics of the path/circuit (bend exit
●
with low or high gear engaged).
The rider's experience
The choice of level setting depends greatly on the
riders' experience and ability to control wheelies on
their own. Levels 1 and 2 require a great experience
to ensure proper control.
Level depends on type of track
If the track/path features bends where out speed
and gear are low, a lower level will be necessary;
while a track/path with faster bends will allow the
use of a higher level setting.
Tips for use on the road
Activate the DWC, select level 4 and ride the
motorcycle in your usual style; if the level of DWC
sensitivity seems excessive, try levels 3, 2, etc., until
you find the one that suits you best. If changes occur
