I don't claim to have all the answers, instead I'm just trying to share what I've experienced and hopefully pass it on with some level of clarity! Thanks for the comment!
I have the I2M Pro2 on my bike and one thing I can't recommend enough is that you add a brake pressure sensor. It's amazing how much I leave on the table by simply not maximizing braking pressure, i.e. not braking hard enough or too early, braking in the wrong line and etc. It also highlighted how inconsistent it can be vs my own perception. I would look back at my lap and think I was braking hard the whole time and trail braking all the way but the datalogger is freaking snitch and shows all my flaws and then some! I've since been working on getting my braking more consistent instead of just 'harder/later' and the have found a significant improvement. It's still hard to maintain consistency on the last couple of laps of a race when fatigue starts to creep in but that's more to do with my own fitness than anything else!
Data logging only ahows you what you are doing... either right... or wrong (and you might not know it is wrong) Coaching will show you the correct way... or at least point you in the correct direction and point out where you are lacking.
Everyone learns differently. The fact that we have Data Logging at our finger tips is awesome, I was planning on doing the same thing for the Kawi 6R 2 years ago. Using both can def benefit everyone, keep this coming Aaron.
You should also learn to read longitudinal, lateral and combined accelerations. Those values will actually tell you what is happening, what is going to happen, and what is the actual difference between your own laps, or when compared to other riders data. Those values will also tell you how close or far away you are from limits. Also you can not compare speeds, because speed mostly the result from driving line. Driving line dictates almost directly where and how you can brake, what will be your apex speed, and where and how you can use throttle. What this video actually tells you is one of the most common delusions about track riding, which is: Throttle = Speed = Good or better lap time. In reality driving line will dictate your lap time. Throttle usage and speed is only a result from you driving line. Also, what is the actual difference between slow and fast rider; it is the driving line. As you see from the data comparison; slower rider is using "more" throttle but is still slower.
Great video breakdown. Hope to get that in depth once I get a few more track days in. Thx for sharing your knowledge!

@@AAron_Ridesus mere mortals appreciate your time and effort put into these informational videos-thank you!!
Any time sir
Hey mate. Really enjoyed this episode. It has been a while, and I really hope you will do more episodes about data logging. I learned a lot
That's the plan!
Good stuff Aaron, thanks for sharing. 😃👍❤🏍
Anytime!

I’m thinking we are like-minded in most of this. I was able to install a front brake pressure sensor and will cover that in the next video!

@@omaro_6R For sure, this is far from over! I realized that after 6 hours of filming/editing....definitely a 3 part series
So you're at full throttle with traction control on, and he's not at full throttle with traction control off?
Other way around ;)

I love this, great info and I’ll incorporate it in the next episode!
