Had a tops day today at WP very laid back. The re surfacing was great. We booked into green (based on EC) and they merged it with novice.... So there was a bit of passing to do, but all good I need the practice.

Took me a session or to to get into the groove on the new bike. Ended up getting down to 108s not super fast but better than my previous 111/2s.
The bike performed fantastic. Smooth and heaps of power. Managed to get the GPS data working after a few initial set up issues. Reading deeper into it I was only really engaging the slide control exiting T2 and occasionally T10. And rear abs In a few places. Pretty sure it applies the rear when hard on the front.( but I'll look into that ) I could feel the lift control kicking in down the straight but it didnt show on the iPad.
Basically it looks like I need to go harder to get the electronics working... but all in time.

Ran a soft rear because of a f#%kup with tyres late on Monday. Apart from wearing very quick I loved it. If money was no option is run it all the time.

Chucked a cable tie on the front forth just to see the travel. With the settings on A1 (automatic track riding w-slicks) it looked like I was on the stoppers by the 2nd last session. Couldn't feel it on track though, it felt great. On the automatic setting you can adjust it in increments of +5 or -5 from the pre set. But again I'll need to read up that a bit more and see what the deal is.

All in all it was awesome, think I'll keep it... Lol

Here you go. I just realised how slow I actually am.

I reccon +2 on the rear will be better suited. Should let me get into 3rd before T11 and possibly T3

That's my mate on the Orange GSXR. I didn't have the nuts to out break him this time but next time for sure

Be kind....

I was letting him pass in T8 (Cough cough...) lol

Im going to hijack here and ask what you use for your Overlay and gopro editing the aim is somewhat confusing me i had a good play lastnight and managed to look at those features you told me about but would quiet like doing a pb lap vid with some overlay work.

Race Render is supposed to be pretty good, I think Lawson uses it. http://racerender.com/Products/index.html
I don't often do data overlay to be honest. My bro wrote a program that converts AIM channels data to a chroma key video you can overlay.
I think he was going to make it web based at some stage but I'm not sure if that's happened yet.

He did make a .csv to .kml converter that will convert single laps, exported from Race Studio, to Google Earth plots.
You can rename as well as change colour and line width before downloading the file.

Awesome mate that last bit interests me i managed to export a session to google maps but was stuck with the whole session on there and all the laps were the same colour so i couldnt really take anything away from it.

Using the map view in the Aim software, I hardly see the need for a Google maps overlay. You can view multiple laps in different colours on a circuit map, which gives you pretty much all the info you need, imho.

That's only one lap in relation to another. Can't really see apexes like you can with Google Earth:

Well having internet access while sitting with the kids watching pixels and hearing the Aussie dollar is above 0.70 is dangerous...

Just order the autoblip clutchless down shift kit, from flash tune.

Will require a re flash but all good.
Shame I can't find any rims just yet.
Need to get this CBR sold now....

Watching the video, it still amazes me they released it without auto-blip. It's such a relatively simple addition, and I gotta say that it's exactly like a quickshifter was in the beginning: once you've used a bike with auto-blip, you just can't go back!

Do the Aprilias have them? I dream of one day having an auto blipper! I can't blip the throttle while braking to save my life. Always end up modulating lever pressure as I try start and pogoing back and forth.

Nope, not standard, but my special one with the kit electronics does. Bloody awesome!! I got used to it on the '15 Beemer, and then got lucky with the Ape already having it fitted. You can buy a Starlane one for the Ape, too.

I've never been able to blip! Years ago I just stopped trying (same issue... if I blip I let go of the brake - I must be really unco!), and just put up with it being clunky. Then slipper clutches came out, and it got a bit better. Now, not using the clutch at all is awesome!! When I jump on the wet bike (without auto-blip), I get all confused and can't change down.

**Ruckos87** · 17-03-2016, 10:12 AM

Yep that's my issue struggling to blip, and break at the same time mostly into T2 at EC but if the option is there why not, one less thing to worry about.

Nick how are you getting auto blip without the shift rod sensor ???

It's got the sensor, I assume. The one on the old APX bike has a custom-looking sensor (which doesn't auto-blip), but the RF has a sensor that looks identical to the stock black one, but works both ways.

**Kris** · 17-03-2016, 02:27 PM

Na, that sensor doesnt auto blip, the only one Aprilia sell is a small red one, it has Aviorace written on it. They supply all the APX pot sensors. Theres also a modified gearbox sensor with different wiring that goes into the engine.

The easy way to tell if you have some kinda special setup, is open the Palm, go into GEAR and check if its SET, ONLYPOT or LOAD

**Marshy** · 17-03-2016, 02:29 PM

So how is it auto blipping??

**Kris** · 17-03-2016, 02:37 PM

Ive no idea

but you can absolutely use the OEM sensor without the clutch to go up gears, it will move the revs slightly but thats not the blip. Have a look at your Palm and see whats in there - maybe you have some kinda wackky thing that auto blips

**Marshy** · 17-03-2016, 02:50 PM

Maybe I'm just speshul

**Kris** · 17-03-2016, 02:53 PM

Check whats in your palm, that will tell you for good but my discussions with the wogs say only the little red sensor does it combined with the 360degree gearbox pot.

Youll also know visually because your black box would connect into a Deutsch Autosport connector near the water pump (and not the 2 pin connector up near the airbox)

**Marshy** · 17-03-2016, 03:04 PM

What setting is it under? Ie what am I looking for in the palm?

yep I do https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ko5juGSRFTk

or did rather when I used to ride bikes. it is pretty easy to use & you can sync up multiple camera's plus overlays etc.

as a pure video editing piece of software it is pretty handy as well. much faster than movie maker

**Ruckos87** · 29-03-2016, 07:38 PM

So unfortunately my new sprockets won't arrive until Friday, and I'm still waiting on the auto blip from the States, Hopefully it's fully sorted by the 27th as I've got a date with Alex Cudlin.

Picked up the bike today from Rob fitted up with a new rear spring and a few base line settings stored manually into the electronic suspension, ready for a run on Friday. It was the 1st time I'd played with it ( when I dropped it off) I was amassed how well it worked. We set up a full soft and a full hard preset, and it just worked!!! So quick and easy.

I've also finished fitting some bonamici rearsets, GB crash protection and started race prep.

I picked up one of Breezys handle bar controls, but I won't fit that up until I get the race glass and strip off the rest of the street kit.

Im spewing about the gearing it really needs it especially if they stick with the full circuit for Friday.

Cheers

I'd be interesting to see a ghost bike of you, on the yellow line, and anothr ghost bike of you on the red line, at same time, as an overlay, to see the difference in a video .. that'd be awesome I reckon

I've been teased by pics of new glass. Will look sweet.

But on another note I dropped a tooth on the front before ARDC. Still needs a bit more so I've got a 520 chain 43 rear. I'm just not sure if -1 +2 will be a bit much, so I've ordered a 42 rear as well.
Not going to go any gearing till after the next two rides days coming up, and I get a bit more comfortable on the bike.
