Ducati Diavel Owners Manual: Tips for use on the track
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.
