Ducati's traction control (DTC) is calibrated for Pirelli Supercorsa tires. I think this is a weakness others claim it is a feature. The DTC corrects the different front and rear wheel speed ratio with a programmed fixed factor.If you want to use a different tire set, then the front/rear wheel speed ratio will be different and the DTC does not work properly.The TC Pod from Competition Systems Ltd allows to correct the font/rear wheel speed ratio while taking the control over the DTC module. Furthermore it allows to adjust the DTC level while driving.The TC Pod fits into bikes which are equipped with a stock DTC module (1098R, 1198S, 1198SP, Streetfighter)and weighs only a few grams at a size of 60 x 43 x 11 mm. It ships with remote buttons for the handle bar.Installation:The installation is straight forward plug&play. Mount the TC Pod with the provided bracket in the front under the dashboard. Mount the remote buttons of the TC Pod with the provided longer screw to the clamp of the clutch pump on the handle bar. Route the TC Pod harness on the left side of the bike along the main harness to the rear. Locate the DTC connector under your seat and plug the TC Pod into the harness. Done.Further information and dealer list here: Competition Systems LtdCalibration:Press the UP(+) button of the TC Pod while you switch on the ignition.Use the UP or DOWN buttons to adjust the front speed in 0.5% steps in either direction.a. Going positive (+) makes the front speed faster reducing DTC activity.b. Going negative (-) makes the front slower increasing DTC activity.Press and hold the UP(+) button for 2 seconds to save the settings.Does it work?I made a test with Dunlop Slicks KR106 (125/80×17)(medium)/ KR108(195/65×17)(hard) with TC Pod calibration setting -2. YES, the TC Pod works. I could not feel and see any DTC activation difference compared to the Pirellis. But I could feel a big difference of the Dunlops, I like them!How to determine the TC Pod Calibration Factor?On this part the TC Pod manual is silent and they assume that you use the trial&error method. However, you can calculate the calibration factor using the following example. The TC Pod allows to adjust deviations from the reference tire in 0.5% steps:Pirelli Reference Tire Circumference & Ratio:front tire: CFref = 1887 mmrear tire: CRref = 2034 mmratio: Rref = CRref / CFref = 1,077901431 = fix valueNew Tire Circumference & Ratio:front tire: CFnew = 1904 mmrear tire: CRnew = 2069 mmratio: Rnew = CRnew / CFnew = 1,086659664 Rotation Deviation:Ratio = Rnew / Rref = 1,008125263 Deviation% = 100 * ( 1 - Ratio ) = -0,81%TC Pod Calibration:TCPod = Deviation% / 0.5% = -1,63 TCPod = round(TCPod) = -2How to determine the tire circumference:Get the value from the manufacturer webpage or measure it. I recommend to measure the circumference of the new tire set. Don't measure the diameter and calculate the circumference. Take a measuring tape and measure the circumference directly as accurate as possible and plug the values into a.m. formula.
ça utilise quels convoyeurs du coup?les leur ou alors des carbone avec meme fixations que d'origine?
