Hey guys,
New here, would love some input on DTC. 2021 V4 got full akra pipe with Ducati tune. We did cancel ABS on front, but the module is still connected and isn't throwing any errors. Took it in to Ducati today to run diagnostics, they said everything is fine and the sensors are good etc. I ran it on 3 last time out and was all over the place spinning up that rear tire, just couldn't get out of turns, didn't have a go pro. Got a mount for this last time out and equipped it, ran it on DTC 5 6 7, the TC light didn't come on the whole day not a single time, spinning up the rear tire like crazy. Ran it on 8, it was on the whole time snail pace out of every turn. Also, did a tire calibration but that didn't help. Like there's nothing in between, it's either all or nothing. I'm not the fastest guy out there, but I can definitely hang, with my new bike I'm getting killed coming out of turns just can't seem to put the power down. And not having TC on a 220+ hp $50k bike isn't very confidence inspiring.
Attached are some clips of it on DTC 5, clearly can see the bike vibrating coming out of turns and the TC doesn't come on once.
Theory 1:
After installing akra pipe and mapping with racing exhaust, affected TC somehow? I'm assuming I have DTC Evo 2 as it's a 2021, do I need to get EVO 3? It says something like "it can be used with standard or racing exhaust" implying DTC Evo 2 only works with standard not racing?? DTC 2 says "The software was designed to considerably improve the racing performance of any rider using slick tires or rain tires no matter whether it uses the Ducati Performance Racing exhaust or the stock one."

Theory 2:
The geometry isn't right at this time, waiting on some Ohlins forks from Italy (literally the last ones on the planet, big props and thank you to cycler for finding em) and new triple clamps, been a nightmare putting this together during COVID. The rear height is set high now, maybe it's spinning too much for even the TC to pick up?
Theory 3:
When on slicks, only run in DTC 1--4 as those are optimized for Pirelli SC1 tires? Read this earlier: "The DTC system levels are mapped to specific tires, in order to get the most out of it you should have it set to the appropriate level to match your tires or you're just getting a false sense of value from it. Level 1 is for RACE tires, specifically Pirelli SC2 compound race tires. If you're running those tires, put it in Level 1. Raising the TC to a higher level will result in the system virtually never activating because your tires have way more grip that the DTC system is expecting based upon the level you've set it to."
Just installed a DDA but I didn't know you had to turn it on before every session
Next time I will, maybe that will provide some insight. Some pics below. Thanks in advance.
