Tips on how to select the sensitivity level Attention Excellent operation of the ABS system, for all available levels, is ensured only with the OE brake system 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. Selecting level 3, the ABS will ensure a very stable braking thanks to lift-up control, and the motorcycle will keep a good alignment during the whole braking action. ABS level 3 features active cornering function which, with vehicle leaning over, prevents wheel lockup and slipping as much as possible, within the physical limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road conditions. Selecting level 2, the ABS will privilege more and more the braking power rather than stability and lift- up control, which is disabled in level 2. ABS level 2 features active cornering function which, with vehicle leaning over, prevents wheel lockup and slipping as much as possible, within the physical limits allowed by the vehicle and by the road conditions. ABS level 1 is specific for track use and ABS is active only on the front wheel to help performance. In this level there is no lift-up control nor cornering feature. 93
