Learn from a coach or friend by replaying your laps together in 3D

An example you can put beside your own attempt

Advice about using more of the track is easier to follow when you can see the ride behind it. A shared Pulse session supplies that example. In the same 3D scene, the other motorcycle follows its recorded path while yours follows your own, so you can see how the two approaches relate.

Rider Pro compares two to four own or shared laps on the same layout, with 3D available where the track model is supported. There is room to include a second attempt of your own as well as the shared reference. That can show whether you repeated a change or managed it on only one lap.

You can do this at home. Your coach need not be riding ahead of you on the day, and a friend’s recording remains useful even if you visited the circuit on separate weekends.

Follow the comparison beyond the first gap

It is tempting to stop where the other bike first pulls away. Keep watching and the advantage may change: grow along a straight, shrink through a sequence or reverse further round. The time-difference trace helps locate those changes, while the speed traces add detail about the passage.

The 3D view puts the paths across the width of the track. From above, you might notice an approach that uses space you left unused. Following either selected lap from behind or from the virtual rider’s perspective helps you picture that movement as a ride. The shared example is something you can watch repeatedly while working out how it differs from your attempt.

Differences in bikes, tyres and conditions still matter, as does GPS precision when judging a small separation between lines. Those are useful things to ask the person who shared the session about, alongside what they were trying to do.

Give the coaching discussion a common reference

Suppose the difference grows on an exit. Where both sessions contain throttle-grip position, the traces can show how much of the grip’s travel each rider used there. You might have been using less than you thought. Your coach can refer to that exit, with both lines and speeds visible, when explaining their approach.

The comparison uses the channels available in each recording. The replay article explains grip position and the separate throttle opening reported by the ECU; the comparison how-to covers selecting laps, the reference and playback controls. The 2D Line view and graphs provide another way to examine the readings.

Bring your next attempt to the same example

After trying the advice, put the new recording beside the shared lap and your earlier attempt. You can see whether the line changed where you intended and follow what happened through the rest of the lap. Your coach has the original example and your response to it available for the next review.

That exchange can continue across separate track days. Friends can learn from each other’s recordings too, without needing matching calendars or a camera on either bike.
