If calibration showed - on traction control level, you succeeded. The rust on the front sensor is not an issue. Even on 8, accelerating in strait line won't engage TC unless rear wheel spins. Dash light will flash when TC activates. You just have not spun rear tire yet.
Get that bike over to me so we can dial in suspension and ride in a fashion that will get that light flashing.
my suspension needs some massaging from the tuono god
This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever seen on BARF. Is this real?
According to nearly every major motorcycle magazine, US and European, the Aprilia APRC is considered the best overall electronics package, with the new R1 being the only other serious contender. I guess your personal testing methodology and riding experience is superior to the writers in every major publication.
your post conflicts what other people with real world experiences have already posted in this thread about Kawi vs APRC
the APRC is better? dunno bout that, but id rather have the Kawi system on my APE right now
dont believe every article you read, maybe sometimes you should go try them for yourself first before passing judgement?
if i was so full of shit, why are others saying the same thing as me?
so, got a 2nd bike with t/c
after reading the 3 inch thick manual on the aprilia and still cant figure out how to correctly navigate to the screen i want with the correct button presses.
i get t/c to work, for some reason the 1st two rides the TC was just simply not engaging, finally calibrated it?? and off i go.
set it to setting 8/8 the highest setting, i dunno wtf, but i barely got it to engage, and when it did it was so abrupt it lurched the bike, and then i couldnt really get it to reactivate the rest of the ride,
it seems weird, as if the tires im running are like slicks or something, so it wont activate tc
i dunno, im coming from a zx10r with kawi 3 stage t/c and it works effortlessly and flawlessly, you know your t/c is engaging but its NOT making abrupt changes that makes the bike surge all weird like.
the apes front traction control plate on the front wheel has some rust in between the cutouts, i dont understand why it was made out of a material that could rust......
anybody else have real world feedback from the aprilia aprc system vs kawi tc?
my calibration feature was really weird as well, it didnt read "calibrated" or if it did - it did it so fast i missed it, eventually after i ran "calibration" all i saw was my TC # changed to - (negative)
i tried to recalibrate a few more times, but it just wouldnt let me, so i shut it down for 30 secs and TC turned on again after i started it,
So i guess i have another question, if you miss the "calibrated" readout after calibrating, does the TC go to - until you turn off bike for 30secs?
Or my calibration was not successful at all? I did try it in commute traffic lol
arty

The plural of anecdote is not data.
If front and rear profiles are at all different (and they always are), if you're leaned over even a little bit the ratio of front rotations to rear rotations will change. I could see that make a poorly designed system think you've lost traction. I'm curious as to how they get around that, seeing as people are likely to install different spec tires later.
Depends on if it uses lean angle or not for determining TC. I hope someone does know how it is on that bike. Regardless, if it's set to the highest control, it would be like telling the bike you are on ice or in pouring rain. It's going to do something at the slightest change, I would imagine, like: limit hp when you lean because it thinks you will have no traction on acceleration. Don't tell it you are on ice, and I bet it doesn't go off.
for your track bike
