DTC setting

Discussion in 'Multistrada' started by Bugsbunny, May 11, 2012.

  1. Hi all,

    have used my enduro setting to set my front and rear suspension just the way I like it, set the throtlle to 150 low (150 high is too sensitive) and its been great over the winter.

    now that spring is here I want to do one adjustment and that is the DTC, originally I set it to MAX 8 (I think) because roads were wet and wanted as much safety as possible.

    however I have found it that it actually stops wheelies and actually limits the power a little because obviously the rear tyre must spin a little when u gun it.

    since its now nice and dry - ish in the uk I am going to back it off a little so that I can still wheelie and there is less power restraint from the computer..

    what do u guys reckon ? - touring is set at 5 and that used to wheelie ok, I reckon 4 will be 'ok' ?

  2. I'd say just try it....it's about feeling after all, and therefore the feel that you like. On setting 8 it definitely retards the drive, because as soon as you open the throttle quickly the red ring light flashes immediately.
     
  3. Do you have the suspension settings? I feel the front is vague on mine and it's something I want to play with within the Enduro setting like you once happy I can transfer those settings into the Touring map
     
  4. yup will post my settings on here, am a heavy 16 plus a bit stone boy so you might need to notch em down a couple digits.

    in terms of level 8 dtc, I actually never/hardly see the red ring light, its just it FEELS like its retading the engine weird, but I think the ring must only come on when things really spin.

    now on level 5...ride home from work will tell if anything better when gunning it...
     
  5. Erm.....yes, if you really go for it on 8, the red light comes on... ;-) try it and see....
     
  6. Oh, but you're right....in 8 you can really feel the traction being damped down, as if you have no/little drive....you do, but it just feels really 'soft'.
     
  7. yea like a soft 'cushy' mode...now massively looking forward to having gone back to level 5 on way home...

    (nice to have the computer settings aint it!)
