Tips for use on the track
E
We recommend level 8 be used for a couple of full laps (to
allow the tyres to warm up) in order to get used to the
system. Then try levels 7, 6, etc., in succession until you
identify the DTC intervention level that suits you best (always
try each level for at least two laps to allow the tyres to warm
up).
Once you have found a satisfactory setting for all the corners
except one or two slow ones, where the system tends to
kick in and control too much, you can try to modify your riding
style slightly to a more "rough" approach to cornering i.e.
straighten up more rapidly on exiting the corner, instead of
immediately trying a different level setting.
Tips for use on the road
Activate the DTC, select level 8 and ride the motorcycle in
your usual style; if the level of DTC intervention seems
excessive, try reducing the setting to levels 7, 6, etc., until
you find the level that suits you best.
If changes in the grip conditions and/or circuit characteristics
and/or your riding style, and the level setting is no longer
suitable, switch to the next level up or down and proceed as
described above to determine the best setting (e.g. if with
level 7 the DTC intervention seems excessive, switch to
level 6; alternatively, if on level 7 you cannot perceive any
DTC intervention, switch to level 8).
