Out of my comfort zone… CBR1000RRR ECU | PART 6 Road Bike to Race Bike

If you’ve been following my progress you’ll already know Ive built my own CBR1000RRR to go racing this off-season.
Normally, I would race in the British Superbike championship and Isle of Man TT where the bike build is done by the team and the prep, set up and electronics is controlled by engineers.
I’ve shown you all the steps up to this point so In this video (part 6) I’ll show you my challenges and insights as I’m learning how to adjust the ECU and electronics for going racing…by myself.
A big thanks to everyone who’s followed this journey so far and to everyone involved with the build

And there was me thinking rebuilding my 1990 Slingshot's carbs was difficult 😂. I didn't understand all that but what it did was make me appreciate how important data guys are in modern racing. The number of parameters are enough to fry your brain, those people must be replicants. Loving your merch, are you going to have some of that available in the UK when you come back for the 2025 UK season? Would deffo be up for a tee.

I’ve had a few people ask so I’ll prob do a limited run of t shirts if your interested? Email [e-mail] 👍🏼

great rider , wish u all the best ✈

[@joshbrookes25]

Thanks ✌️

[@Numberofbillion]

Thanks mate, makes me think about the early days of these electronics when guys would say "turn all that off & let me control everything with my own hands". Obviously nowadays unless everything works correctly together - you can be the best rider on track by a margin but not necessarily showing it. Well done & thanks again Josh for your work with the channel, seems like it's coming more natural, but remember (as you aliens are good at) to stay focused on the track. Good luck.

Hi Josh, Well explained the fundamentals of the hrc electronics, as alot off us that are not in teams to look after you in setting up race bikes youve opened up a world that is rarely seen

[@olithephoto]

Great vid Josh. Even in that short a burst of info I understand so much more about what the electronics can do. Loving this series.

[@joshbrookes25]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@CRFLAus]

You're setting yourself up for a great career after racing. It's one thing to be able to ride fast but to turn spanners and understand data and make adjustments is something very valuable indeed on top of being a gun.

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

Great video josh , let the racing begin 😀👍

[@heulwenarcher1520]

Great video. So interesting how small changes can make a big difference. It's no wonder there are specific electronic guys. Best of luck this weekend. 🏆🏆🤞🙏

[@richardpage6522]

Very interesting and Technical & I hope this helps you on the track looking forward too the next blog showing the improvements

[@BullandBear505]

Thank you for posting these videos! They are extremely helpful for guys like me who are in the process of building one of these out with the HRC ecu and loom.

[@PaullElliott]

It's just incredible and mind blowing how bike technology has progressed. Good luck for Friday Josh I'm keen to see how you feel the changes have gone 👍🤞

[@richardkinnersley]

Always interesting content, good luck this weekend hope the changes go in the right direction

[@ducky237]

Thanks for that josh 👍😊

[@one40i19]

Great content on ECU. Seen some dyno and tuning ones for power but not many for racing TC, EB, WC, SC etc. Once you get to spin some laps would be interesting to see a video overlayed comparison of say TC 0 exit T6 for example vs TC 3 same turn and then your feedback and how/why body position/input to the bike changes maybe? Or maybe same for EB into T7. Good luck and see you at BSB some time 👊🏻✊🏻

[@grahamsmith8122]

Dont forget to do a plug chop at the end of the straight.

[@Nobby-f1f]

😂

[@nathantaylor120]

One of the things I love most about BSB is the lack of electronics. It makes for a more even playing field and bloody exciting racing. Sorry, I started to glaze over at the 4 minute mark.

[@jgsimons]

Would you prefer to see more electronics allowed in BSB? BSB is the best series to watch given the level of competition and I assume that is somewhat due to no electronic intervention but I wonder if riders would like to have traction control available to them.

❤👍

[@michaelwatkins8871]

Thank you for the video. What tank attachment is that? I'm looking for something to lock onto the bike better.

[@joshbrookes25]

Try eazigrip

[@michaelwatkins8871]

@@joshbrookes25 Is that a stock tank? I have a 2021 Fireblade and it doesn't look as vertical where it joins the seat.

[@lices]

Awesome content as always ❤ could you please help me with one question. Does the R6 you raced last year used the WRS clear windscreen????

[@joshbrookes25]

Not 100% you’d have to contact the team

[@Colin8979]

Hi Josh will you be Racing this package on the IOM TT this year? Kind regards

[@joshbrookes25]

This bike will stay in Australia 🇦🇺

[@John_Wood_]

You should run BSB spec and think about the big picture.

[@joshbrookes25]

Not that simple. It also costs over £100,000 to build a bsb spec bike

[@stephencroft6481]

Josh any particular reason for choosing the honda when you rode the yamaha so Well a while back ?

[@joshbrookes25]

I’ll be racing a Honda in bsb so makes sense to race one in the offseason

[@afrando9471]

Where can i get tyre diameters from? Cheers

[@therealslimshady4555]
