    Man it just shows how far ahead the pros are , I run a r1 and man my prep is not even close lol of course I’m old and slow but it just shows how much teams put in to bikes . Swingarm pivot points etc , very cool !!! I also enjoy that it trickles down to the customer you all did my electronics all my mapping and tc etc and bike is so smooth now can’t even feel electronics working just beautiful .

    The swingarm pivot was machined "UP" from the middle Oem point or "DOWN" ?
    So happy to see you back in thr game after Westby pulled out.
    Lovely to see another R1 SBK build as myself have some hybrid of this kind.

    @coolbreeze2176 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Have you seen how much stiffening of the front of the frame in Toprak's WSB R1 when he rode for Yamaha last year.
    If you have modified the swingarm pivot point in the frame are you allowed to do similar mods that Factory
    Yamaha did to Toprak's frame

    • @SuperbikeUnlimited
      @SuperbikeUnlimited  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes, we tested it here last year but with no real tangible benefit. That probably comes down to differences in tires and circuits from there to here.

    Brembo rotors are better than Braketech. I tried them back to back and there was a big difference

    • @SuperbikeUnlimited
      @SuperbikeUnlimited  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      We ran them with Westby and no one ever beat us on the brakes, so I’d say they’re pretty good.

    • @motowerkz3678
      @motowerkz3678 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Many different versions of rotors available. Too many variables, like pad compound, caliper spec, master spec etc. "better" is a relative term, aside from the fact that those rotors are not available to the public similar to the Attack "braking" rotors. You would never be able to compare. I assume you were testing the brembo rotors on a true superbike front end with wsbk spec calipers right?

      @@SuperbikeUnlimited ha! seems to work okay in your prototypes. Are you doing any virtual stress testing in your CAD before final printing in aluminum or carbon nylon?

    • @SuperbikeUnlimited
      @SuperbikeUnlimited  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      For 3D scanning, we have a couple of partners who are doing that for us because the equipment we have is frankly too time consuming to use effectively. Yes, you’ll notice some small ribbing and support for strengthening, which is typically a result of stress analysis. We do very little of that part in the shop for now, it’s very helpful having capable partners taking the workload off while time is so limited.

    @rickybobby7660 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Motec just make ECU’s. Magneti, Cosworth, TAG etc we’re all F1 competitors when it was a strategy war for TCS etc. so with them you get properly advanced and developed motorsport strategies and functionality.
    Motec have never done any sort of open competition and they don’t have a developer area in the ECU for you to write your own. Definitely a tier or 2 down

    • @SuperbikeUnlimited
      @SuperbikeUnlimited  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      That’s basically incorrect on every point. We currently own multiple MoTeC M1 Development-licensed ECUs. MoTeC has offered development licenses with completely open and custom programmable firmware for a long time. This was a common selection in the MotoGP CRT class. The firmware MoTeC offers varies massively and again, outside development is welcome. MoTeC is a standard in LMP- level prototype race cars, vehicles with incredibly advanced strategies and hybrid drivetrains. They are also spec ECUs for a ton of European SBK series as well as the ECU of choice for a tremendous amount of auto racing. Lastly, MoTeC makes a massive amount of hardware beyond ECUs.

      @@SuperbikeUnlimited They might’ve opened it up in recent years to allow you to write your own strategies which is progress.
      My experience comes from world championship lmp1, 2 and single seater racing and a few teams used Motec primarily as a dash logger because their telemetry was a bit more user friendly than Cosworth but lmp2 is all Cosworth, lmp1 is TAG, Bosch or Magnetti. You do pay for it though they’re all at least 3 times the cost of a Motec set up.
      We were also one of the last teams to run Magnetti in BSB before they rolled out the spec Motec kit back with the Evo spec and it hasn’t changed since which is why BSB is kinda stuck as a standalone championship.
      That was all down to cost and user friendliness, it was cheap and teams didn’t have to pay megabucks for a dedicated engineer to run it, a switch on technician could just about get to grips with it.
      Motec isn’t bad but it’s by far not the best. Take Cosworth, if you dig around in Caltool you’ll find all the strategies Ten Kate paid for and that can be ran on something basic like the SQ6 which is decent value when considering the hours that went into it.

    • @SuperbikeUnlimited
      @SuperbikeUnlimited  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The problem is you’re speaking from a perspective of using the limited firmware to which you’ve had access.

    • @SuperbikeUnlimited
      @SuperbikeUnlimited  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      For context, M1 Build / Development (Open) licenses have existed and been in use since before MotoGP CRT, which was over a decade ago.
