■Brief Description Y-TRAC is an application that collects and analyzes data through the 2015-2020 model YAMAHA YZF-R1 / R1M equipped with CCU.

Many kinds of vehicle information are displayed visually in an easy-to-understand graph, such as vehicle speed and engine speed, accelerator opening, banking angle and brake pressure, as well as various types of control effects.

Since the graph displays each lap, you can easily understand the characteristics of a good line.
