Sorry for the long delay in updating this project but there have been some unfortunate delays getting the project to the next stage, but we got there in the end and it was time to dial the bike in with the help of Darren Fry at the controls.

I did a few runs myself to get a feel of the bike and to tune in the Ride By Wire for the top end of 3nd through to 6th, coupled with the wheelie controls and torque limiting I was able to pin it with only a 'hovering' wheelie.

Now it was time for Darren to do the real work with some static 'launch' starts. He quickly got to grips with the strategy and was able to point me in the direction he wanted using different launch Throttle / RPM / wheelie retard in 1st to 3rd until he could nail it full throttle from the line all the way through the gears.  And yes the bike will still wheelie as you see here but the electronics keep it all manageable. And it sounds great.

In case you are wondering why there is a car picture here. Well there is a very good reason.

The Marelli electronics in this 320hp car were bought by a race team in Serbia from TAS Suzuki recently (ex Josh Brookes bike) and as I originally built this system I was asked by the team to pop over to Serbia for a couple of days and re-tune the bike strategies into car strategies. 

All OK, and came second in the race..... Now back to bikes.
