Circuit practice session (Part 1)

Owing to the presence of logistical support, I was able to bring down my non-street legal exhausts for use on the track, the HMF duals. Fitment took less than 10minutes but was longer than usual as the exhaust was quite hot from the riding all the way from home to the circuit.



Pressure on the tyres were set to the following front 32PSI and rear 35PSI. Previous session has proven that this pressure works quite well for the Michelin Pilot Power 2CT.

The VR2 is employed during this session for the datalogging of different information of the rider and the bike. It's a very useful function but will be better if used along with the external button accessory as it quite inconvenient to have to trigger the lap timing by lifting the hand off the handlebar and pressing the button on the unit itself.


This graph shows the rpm, speed and torque for 2 of the laps within the circuit. This allows for analysis of shift points and braking points on different parts of the circuit.

This graphs shows the gear (in different shades of blue) and the rpm during the lap. More information on the shift points and gears used in different parts of the circuit.

Did quite a few laps during the 1hour session and even gotten the chance to swap bike with ne0 for a few laps towards the end of the session.
