■Brief Description Y-TRAC is an application that collects and analyzes data through the 2015-2020 model YAMAHA YZF-R1 / R1M equipped with CCU. Ride analysis can be performed by matching position information with vehicle condition in real time. ■Detailed Description Let's ride the circuit together! Improve your time by carefully analyzing ride characteristics and vehicle condition! Y-TRAC is a log viewer application for viewing vehicle information collected in the CCU (* 1). 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. In addition to vehicle information, position information is recorded simultaneously in the log data stored in the CCU. Due to this synchronization of position information and vehicle condition, you can quickly pick up information such as braking point at corner entry, brake pressure, vehicle speed, line, banking angle at turn, and throttle condition at exit. Since the graph displays each lap, you can easily understand the characteristics of a good line.
