So the folks at honda are using some data aquisition equipment on RC's bike!
Ok some ideas what they are doing...
Someone said it was a front wheel speed sensor to monitor the wheel speed. RC said that they are going with a whole new set up for the bike for the 04 Supercross season. Now what is the reason for the the wheel sensor? My only un-educated guess could be that it is used for suspension set up. Ex. Maybee how they are setting up the shock because of his new setup he is wheeling out of the turns and they make adjustments to keep the front end on the ground just enough to have really good drive out of the turns. Or maybe engine setup for gearing or what not.
I have a limited backround with automotive data aquisition. I spent a good amount of time test driving for GM/Chrysler/VW/Audi and also building custom data aquisition systems for Brake testing and dyno testing.
I believe that the AMA sanction events do not allow test equipment on the bikes during the races. So at the open was a perfect chance to use some newer technology to get the power to the ground with RC's funky set up.
Any other thoughts?
