She laid over....

U don’t need a lot of those items your rhymed off , definetly not the iPad or mount
 

Going to put this on & break it in, for the weeks festivities.
I don't think I would actually trust it to race with. Ultimax will be close by.
Probably an awesome trail belt.

Well, maybe you're right NYTurbo. Just thought it would be nice to have.

So would a HRC-4 race sled, all the spare parts to go with it, truck and trailer to haul it around and a pit crew . See where I'm going with this. You don't need any of that stuff to activate the data logging, but if you want to upgrade like that, might as well dream big I guess.....

Knapp, having the ability to log data sounds great. Let's suppose I find something, say knock retard? What adjustment to the parameters would I be able to make?
There seems to be a critical point to this, as to when logging data is required. Ecotrail? Probably not. Maybe powertrail? Doesn't seem likely. lots of guys running MS16, that can't even put on a belt. Lol.
Perhaps its MS17, yes perhaps that's it. Or serious consideration would be at MS20. Ah, yes! MS20. Hmmm.....
I'm not quite sure you get it, or are just not following?!?! Either way...everything is, "as required."
I'm not going to data log, as no one here has proven it to be beneficial at the stage I'm at. All I hear is "you need to get it" and all I ask is "why?"

Pick a belt and do all your tuning with the same belt type whether its an 8JP, D8N, Redline, or XS825 as you want to dial in one setup for competition and not start introducing variables or you will constantly be chasing your tail.

Do you think the Redline could hold up In back to back high speed runs? That's all I need to know.
Ever blow a Redline?

Back in the day....Tim Bender was one of the early oval racers that was monitoring and data logging all his race sleds parameters and performance he also was testing testing testing. A man ahead of his time, Tim obviously understood the value of data before most people even had the skill or knowledge to attempt it. Benders success in oval racing speaks for itself . We 998 owners, tuners, and riders now have the ability to collect and use data for a few hundred dollars but if you don't use the data and don't have a practical application for it then I guess its of no use.

Don't want to Jinx myself so I will take the fifth. Belt survival usually has more to do with the clutching setup, alignment, and resulting belt temps and abuse then the actual belt but some will handle higher temps and misalignment better then others.

I appreciate all the comments about data logging. At this point, it's just a simple "bar hopper" it's nothing special.
Everything is just for fun. I don't have the drive to be the best of the best. That's all....

Primary 140°
Belt 120°
Secondary 90°
Those are on a good lake pull last year. (MS16sm) I'll set up for the G-Force, watch for clutch slipping and get belt temps.
I'll be running a different clutch setup this year, and I expect more heat to come from it.
 
Win or lose, it's a bar hopper. Lol. I'm not going to get into the "pull my hair out" mode .."what can I do to beat this or that?
Do I want to go to radar runs, yes, for sure! Do I want to go to events and see how my sled compares? Absolutely. Do I want to have 150 miles days, who wouldn't?!?!
I ask questions, so I understand what to expect. Stay in your lane & enjoy the ride.
I can't believe I stand alone with this. Like you have to be on one side of the fence or the other.
Either a big mile Rider or someone super competitive. I'm neither.....it just doesn't matter.
Let me give it my best, and see how it goes.
 
Makes sense.


Do u have a flasher or just the dash flash or single tune ?
