Tips on how to select the sensitivity level Attention Excellent operation of the DWC system, for all available levels, is ensured only with the OE final drive ratio and with OE tires and/or with the ones recommended by Ducati. In particular, OE tires for this motorcycle are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP in the following sizes: 120/70ZR17 at the front, 200/55ZR17 at the rear. Using tires with different size and characteristics from the original tires may alter the operating characteristics of the system thus making it unsafe. It is recommended not to install tires of different size than the ones approved for your vehicle. The DWC level 1 setting has been optimized using tires with SC1 compound (Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SC1), which are not originally supplied with your motorcycle. The use of this level with tires having different characteristics may alter the operating characteristics of the system. As far as tires are concerned, in the case of minor differences, such as tires of a different make and/or model than the OE ones, but with the same size (rear = 200/55 ZR17; front = 120/70 ZR17), 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. At level 8 the DWC system reduces the motorcycle's proneness to do wheelies to a minimum level and sensitively intervenes in case of wheelie. Between level 8 and level 1 there are further intermediate levels of intervention for the DWC. Levels 1, 2 and 3 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 reduces the speed at which the front wheel tends to lift. The choice of the correct level mainly depends on the following parameters: 1) 2) The rider's experience. The characteristics of the path/circuit (bend exit with low or high gear engaged).

Tips on how to select the sensitivity level

Attention

Excellent operation of the DWC system, for all

available levels, is ensured only with the OE final drive

ratio and with OE tires and/or with the ones

recommended by Ducati. In particular, OE tires for

this motorcycle are Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa SP in the

following sizes: 120/70ZR17 at the front, 200/55ZR17

at the rear. Using tires with different size and

characteristics from the original tires may alter the

operating characteristics of the system thus making

it unsafe. It is recommended not to install tires of

different size than the ones approved for your vehicle.

The DWC level 1 setting has been optimized using

tires with SC1 compound (Pirelli Diablo Supercorsa

SC1), which are not originally supplied with your

motorcycle. The use of this level with tires having

different characteristics may alter the operating

characteristics of the system.

As far as tires are concerned, in the case of minor

differences, such as tires of a different make and/or

model than the OE ones, but with the same size (rear

= 200/55 ZR17; front = 120/70 ZR17), 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.

At level 8 the DWC system reduces the motorcycle's

proneness to do wheelies to a minimum level and

sensitively intervenes in case of wheelie. Between

level 8 and level 1 there are further intermediate

levels of intervention for the DWC. Levels 1, 2 and 3

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 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).
