I was driving like always do. DTC was working almost without being perceptible. Because of that I was feeding and pinning the gas according to each corner. In this vid the rear tyre was a little worn. I think this item could influence in the permanent and stressing work that DTC had to do.

Great video, thanks for posting. We don't know how you drive, and I think bananaman wanted to know if you were using completely full throttle out of all the turns and letting the DTC control power to the rear tire? I haven't been brave enough to do that yet! What mode were you riding in, Race or Slick?

Thanks. I´m almost sure that went in slick mode.
What I´m totally sure is that I was not going at full throttle
in corners all the time (for now; and better for never).

You were going quite fast! Is that speedo in miles/hour?

Not so fast. The speedometer is in Km/h. I was riding in a small racetrack.

Here is a picture of the rear tyre at the end of the racetime:

I think DTC helps the tyre abrasion in perfect conditions.

And how the bike screams (from finishline):
