Track-ready starts with your phone
How to build this set: your Android phone or iPhone, securely mounted to the motorcycle, with the Pulse app and the Rider Pro plan.
Start here if you want to try recording and reviewing your riding without buying a separate logger. The phone supplies position, speed, lean angle and G-force. Position accuracy varies with the phone’s make and model. On the bike, Pulse also shows lap and sector times, live delta and projected lap time, with spoken lap times available if you use helmet audio.
To upload the session to the myracing.online server, the phone running the Pulse app needs an internet connection, even if only briefly, through mobile data (SIM or eSIM), Wi-Fi or a hotspot. You can then review the recording in the MyRacing app, examine individual corners and compare your laps with earlier rides or laps shared by friends or coaches. On supported track layouts, a 3D onboard replay is generated automatically from your telemetry data. The phone’s GPS determines the detail of the position trace, so small differences between recorded lines need more care than a broad change in pace.
Precision adds a compatible external GPS receiver
How to build this set: phone + Pulse app and Rider Pro plan + compatible external GPS.
If you want more detail in the recorded path, Precision keeps the same phone and adds another source of position data. Compatible receivers can supply up to 25 positions per second, depending on the receiver and configuration. Lean and G-force continue to come from the phone’s sensors.
More samples give the recording more points along the path; positional accuracy also depends on the receiver and reception. Check the connection before buying. Android supports compatible u-blox M8, M9 and M10 USB receivers through USB-OTG, or Bluetooth GPS. On iOS, a compatible MFi receiver supplies system location.
Complete recording includes an ECU connection
How to build this set: phone + Pulse app and Rider Pro plan + compatible external GPS + compatible Bluetooth LE ECU adapter + motorcycle diagnostic cable.
Choose this combination when you want motorcycle readings alongside the position trace. Depending on the supported configuration, they can include engine RPM, throttle-grip input, throttle position, gear and other ECU channels. The motorcycle data article explains how that recording can be used.
Check the motorcycle and adapter table before choosing the hardware. It covers verified BMW S1000RR K67, Honda CBR1000RR-R SC82 and Yamaha YZF-R1 RN65 combinations. The adapter and profile determine which channels can be recorded together. With the relevant readings available, Pulse also provides coolant-temperature and voltage alerts.
External GPS is included in this recommended set for its position recording. A supported ECU connection can also work with phone GPS.
What the hardware can cost
You may already have the most expensive part of the Track-ready set in a drawer. As an indicative hardware budget, allow €25–35 for an unused or second-hand phone, around €20 for an M9 GPS receiver and €50–100 for a compatible ECU adapter, depending on the model.
| Recording set | Indicative hardware budget |
|---|---|
| Track-ready | Your existing phone, or about €25–35 for a spare phone; mount extra. |
| Precision | Around €60 for phone and M9 GPS; up to €100 with a mount. |
| Complete recording | Around €200 for a combination with external GPS and an ECU adapter; the total depends on the phone, mount, adapter and diagnostic cable. |
If you are considering an all-in-one logger with a budget of around €200, these combinations give you another way to allocate it. Precision can leave room in that budget while keeping a live display on the phone. Complete recording adds supported motorcycle ECU readings, with Live View available to your mechanic in the box while you ride. Compare those uses as well as the hardware price when choosing your recording equipment.
These are approximate hardware budgets, not MyRacing bundle prices. The Rider Pro plan is separate. Your total will depend on what you already own and the devices you choose.
GoPro and heart rate remain optional
GoPro
A compatible GoPro HERO9 Black or newer can add footage to any of the three sets, with recording started and stopped alongside the session and lap and sector markers added by Pulse. Telemetry and supported 3D replay work without a camera.
Heart-rate sensor
A compatible heart-rate strap or watch lets you record heart rate with the session. It needs to broadcast the standard Bluetooth heart-rate service; having a built-in heart-rate sensor alone does not establish compatibility.
These sets describe combinations you assemble, not hardware bundles sold by MyRacing. The Pulse app and Rider Pro plan are our products. Phones, mounts, GPS receivers, adapters and cables are separate purchases. Use the recording set comparison to check the whole combination, then buy the equipment needed for the recording you want.
