The riding mode (whether the rider has a "smooth"
or a "rough" style).
Level depends on grip conditions: the choice of level
setting depends greatly on the grip conditions of the
track/circuit (see below, tips for use on the track and
on the road).
Level depends on type of track: if the track/path
features bends all taken at similar speeds, it will be
easier to find a level suitable for all bends; while a
track/path with bends all requiring different speeds
will require a DTC level setting that is the best
compromise for all bends.
The relation of the DTC intervention level to riding
mode:
The DTC will tend to kick in more with a "smooth"
riding mode, where the bike is leaned over further,
rather than with a "rough" style, where the bike is
straightened up as quickly as possible when exiting a
turn.
Tips for use on the track
We recommend that level 8 is 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 sensitivity 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.
