Motorsport Engineering has recently developed and successfully tested a Superbike software by using the powerful MoTeC M170 or M130 Ecu and (targeted) to the latest world superbike championship queen, the Kawasaki ZX10RR of Jonathan Rea!!! The development of this software has been possible thanks to Motorsport Engineering race experience together with the deep knowledge of the MoTeC Ecu. The software includes multiple strategy to help the rider and it is a step forward compared to the GPR Motorcycle available as standard one. The advanced calculation included enables are capable to process the accelerations along three axes (X, Y, Z) and activate all the complex processes that end up to a soft but accurate torque reduction, that improves the rider feeling.
This version A is the first of a series, that will be updated and will have more features and releases…. Sbk_B will be more advanced than Sbk_A, and Sbk _C will beat Sbk_B, that to allow everybody to select and choose the proper firmware. The system includes a very adjustable Traction Control; the general Traction Control activates a proportional power reduction when the sliding or the wheelie are over a certain value; with our system the calculation is more elaborated!!! The bike provides data coming from the speed sensors, the motor and the inertial platform, the suspensions etc. that are processed to establish if the bike is working under a safe area in terms of dynamic conditions. If the dynamic state of the motorcycle exits the default area, that is named an “error” that will be managed to achieve a power reduction of the engine, able to help the rider to return to the safety zone.
MSE_Kawasaki ZX10RR Sbk_A include a very user friendly Fuel model as well.
Another important feature is the Autocorner capability, that allows the system to react differently sector by sector. Traction control, Drive by Wire, Engine Braking, include that capability, and the user has simply to decide which map has to be allocated to which sector.
Completely unique of our software is the CANSIM mode that allows the user equipped with our specific tools, to simulate the logged data, having a full engine control.
Furthermore, there is the virtual dyno capability, that simulates the front wheel speed when on a rolling dyno.
Another important feature is the security: three users are defined, Guest, Tuner and Super User with separate access via a very solid encrypted system. Each user has a separated log set that includes only the channel required for its level. This ensure a knowhow protection while maintaining the usability of the system.
