I can't seem to find a definitive straight answer to any of these. I'm hoping the following have been settled? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

(1) 195Hi offers "full" power at any throttle twist angle, whereas 195Lo offers a muted amount (70%?) at anything other than wide open throttle.

(2) ABS offers rear-wheel lift suppression at levels 2 and 3 (i.e., no stoppies at such settings).

(3) TC prevents wheelies at [a certain setting that I've not been able to determine and am too chicken to test].

How'd I do?
 
Any wheelie control effect provided by DTC on any panigale other than the Superleggera is purely incidental, there is no programmed function for wheelie control with the standard DTC.
 
195 Hi seems to have crisper throttle response. Easier to blip on down shifts. 195 Lo seems useless to me. Not sure where it's exactly the best option. I use 120 on group rides or in the rain.

The traction controls wheelie kill is just a side effect. But when I get the stupid and pop the clutch too hard in higher levels of DTC, it does kick in when the bike hops a little. I think. Maybe I spun a little on accident???

The anti-stoppie is pure .... I think. I'm still a newb but, does the ABS feel like a noisy rotor? I feel a buzz though the bars a little. And there has been a few times I was expecting the rear to come up at low speeds.

I love all the adjustments. I do think it makes the bike safer/easier to ride. The other bikes I've ridden were much less forgiving.
 
RE: Panigale test ride"¦.

I wonder what would happen if he threw a connecting rod and tried to get it warranty covered :)

(Sorry, I had to)

NOLA

Anti Stoppie, thats a new one. Never heard that phrase. Turn ABS off and you will get anti stoppie pretty quick I think.
 
195 Lo is great for the track. Makes maintenance throttle easier. Still get full power if you twist all the way!
 
195 Hi forever! Crisp throttle, nice pick-up, no complaints!

ABS 1 is front only, no rear wheel lift prevention.

ABS2 is front and rear, generates pressure on both wheels, allows some rear wheel lift.

ABS2 is front and rear and controls most rear wheel lifts.
 
Thanks, all. The bike never claimed to have anti wheelie / anti rear lift technology, but I was hearing a lot about it. Internet apocryphal stories, apparently :)

From what i understand from the Hi/Lo setting it is throttle response. i am not sure regarding the 70% power, as i run my bike is 195Lo at the drags and it always feels like i am getting 100% of the power just the response is slightly dull down. i find running in 195Lo better for the street as the bike is more controllable

TC is traction control and doesn't stop wheelies, i can lift the front wheel with TC of setting 5. TC engages when it detected the rear wheel losing traction and cuts the power to the bike (yellow light will flash on the dash when it happens)

ABS at 2/3 is engage on both the front and rear brakes, while 1 is only the front. it will just stop the bike locking up when braking.

I forgot I was running Sport with default settings and couldn't figure out why it was so hard to power wheelie in 2nd/3rd. For a minute, I thought the bike had a mechanical problem the way it just wouldn't pick the front up very high without a very abrupt twist at 7500+ rpm. Then I realized I was using the default 195Lo setting. So I switched to Race mode and that fixed the problem.
I know the Panigale doesn't have "wheelie control" but I'd say 195Lo does a pretty good job of it. I guess 195Lo would be good for something, but I don't like it. Throttle response is way too soft.
As for ABS, It's an interesting feeling when it kicks in. Like someone said, it's like a vibration through the bars. I haven't had any bad side effects from it, but it took me a little to figure out what was going on.
 
I like 195hi the 195 seems to lag not have the punch i just wish i could figure out how to shift in wheelies dqs seems to kill it
 
For canyon carving 195 lo has plenty.

Have had no need to go to high.


I do notice that the front end stays glued down no matter how hard im on the gas. HHHHHmmmm ;)
 
I can drive all the way to work in first I found out...


I think all the settings are great,
I keep it on wet, or sport...
Race,,that is "Pandora's box" don't even want to tap in to that....

I love the wet for day to day and while riding with the 899 crowd.....
Sport is awesome in the canyons and freeway,

I feel the bike is way over the top in any mode it just is not legal..

Race is well, I don't know what it's for, also I'm not sure what 4th, 5th,and 6th gear is used for!?!?!?!?
