POWER SLIDE CONTROL
The Power Slide Control is our latest high performance creation; we put down an
enormous amount of time and engineering into it, to create an effective and reliable
product. It is developed b racers for racers.
The Power Slide Control is an electronic s stem able to reduce the rear wheel slide off
during accelerations and constant throttle. It is not able to reduce the slide off during the
braking phase.
The s stem is composed b an ECU and 2 velocit sensors put on front and rear wheels.
The variation of the difference between front and rear wheel velocities is continuousl
monitored in order to understand if the rear wheel is sliding off or not. The Power Slide
Control is able to understand if the bike is on straight, or in a slow turn or in a fast turn, and
consequentl acts.
Please read the installation
instructions carefull before
using our PSC. Make sure
ou full understand and
agree with disclaimer
before using this product.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
Installation must be done onl b clever personnel. Do not proceed with installation if not
expert and able to do.
1. Sensors installation
WARNING : Take maximum care to
sensors installation.
2 Speed sensors are included in the kit.
The are Automotive products, with the
advantage of a relaible reading but don’t allow
a fine adjustment of the sensor-target distance.
The sensors’ brackets must be stiff and ver well
done. If necessar to change the sensor-target
distance, use spacers avoiding brackets bend.
Connect sensors to linking wires.
The longest sensor-linking wire must be
positioned to the front wheel. Connect the
shortest one to the rear wheel.
The s stem properl works when the front and rear sensors read from minimum 3 to
maximum 6 pulses. These must be equall spaced. Its strongl recommended use the max
number of pulses possible.
Fit the sensors being sure that the do not read
holed screw heads that could false the signals. If the
substitution of bolts with full head is not possible, put
the sensors at the sides of the heads.
Be sure that the nuts are read b a magnet.
WARNING Put the sensor at a distance
around 3÷5mm from the target.

On the ECU front side there are 2 selector switches.
Pulses Ratio

10 di 18
WARNING : Take care to the arrow direction!
First of all set up the number of “pulses” for both front and rear sensors, acting on the left
selector switch according to the following table:
FRONT REAR SETTING FRONT REAR SETTING
3 3 0 4 3 8
3 5 1 4 5 9
3 4 2 4 4 A
3 6 3 4 6 B
5 3 4 6 3 C
5 5 5 6 5 D
5 4 6 6 4 E
5 6 7 6 6 F
Then measure the circumferences of front ad rear wheels, in the center of the t re, and
make the difference between the 2 values. Set up the “Ratio” acting on the right selector
switch according to the following table:
DIFFERECE [ m] SETTING DIFFERENCE [ m] SETTING
0 - 1 0 13 8
2 - 3 1 14 9
4 - 5 2 15 A
6 - 7 3 16 - 17 B
8 - 9 4 18 - 19 C
10 5 20 - 21 D
11 6 22 - 23 E
12 7 24 - 25 F
SUGGESTION: If ou like to have a bigger sensitivit of the s stem at the high speeds, ou
can increase the “ratio” of 1 or 2 steps; if ou like a lower sensitivit at the high speed,
reduce the “ratio” of 1 or 2 steps, as per following chart.

11 di 18
WARNING : A too high ratio set could cause PSC acting even in the straigth
and in the acceleration phase.
5. DASHBOARD INSTALLATION
Install the potentiometer, the 2 switches and the 2 leds, in the carbon plate included in the
kit. Cut it and drill according to our own requirements. Put it in a alwa s visible position ad
eas to reach b hand.

12 di 18
WARNING : Put the dashboard taking care that the 2 leds are oriented directl
towards the driver’s e es.
Sensitivit potentiometer is positioned in order to have the s stem OFF if counter clockwise
rotated and maximum sensitivit if completel rotated clockwise, according to numbers in
the sticker. (0 OFF, 10 max sensitivit ).
In the harness with leds and potentiometer, there is the
LAUNCH CONTROL switch.
It’s ON or OFF according to pictures on the right.
When Launch Control is on, the PSC control the front wheel
height,. The front wheel will rise, more or less, 20cm and,
slowl , will go down.
Suggestion for the switch positioning: LC ON towards down
(ie. The front wheel must be down) and LC OFF upward.
In the harness with coils connectors, there is the EMERGENGY SWITCH.

6. PRE USE CHECKS
WARNING : If an of the following tests his not passed, DO NOT USE THE SYSTEM
and contact our technical department. Disconnect the PSC through the proper
emergenc switch and disconnect the PSC from the bike.
Switching on the bike, the PSC red and green leds must flash. Otherwise the connection
to coils is not correct. Therefore refer to instruction at the above paragraph 3.
Check that, positioning the potentiometer at zero sensibilit (complete counter clockwise
rotation) the green led is flashing in constant manner, like an arrow light
Check that, positioning the potentiometer at maximum sensibilit (complete clockwise
rotation) the green led is flashing quickl 3 times.
Set Ratio on “F”, Pulse on “C” and Sensitivit on maximum. As soon the bike is running
above 10Km/h the PSC must cut the power.
If test has been passed, set Ratio on “F”, Pulse on correct value and Sensitivit on
maximum. Drive the bike. The PSC will cut power at the minimum traction loss.
If test has been passed, set Ratio and Pulse on correct values and Sensitivit to maximum.
WARNING : Although the installation could seem well done, alwa s make sure
to have full confidence that the s stem properl works at all speeds.
DO NOT TEST THE PSC IN OPEN TRAFFIC ROAD but in circuit, alwa s wearing safet
wear like, helmets, gloves, boots, rear protector, racing leather suit)

Test the bike in straight with dirt ground. The PSC will cut power at the minimum traction
loss.
Switch the Launch Control ON. Test the s stem, with the highest possible gear that allows
the front wheel rise due to power and not in first gear. The PSC will work carr ing the front
wheel again on the ground.
Test the s stem in a corner, never 100% full throttle. The PSC must cut the power.
Repeate the above tests at higher speed, proceeding step b step
.
Reduce Sensitivit , step b step, till PSC act as preferred.
WARNING : Remember that “0” position of the potentiometer, ie. complete
counter clockwise rotation, means s stem OFF not acting.
