#1 | Naviagtor VI Statistics datum

In the Apps of my BMW Garmin Navigator VI, there is one called "My Motorcycle", it has a subsection, "Last Ride". This can only be viewed when the device is removed from the holder on the bike.

Within Last Ride is a further subsection "Statistics". For my last ride, 104 miles in South Devon and Somerset;

Gear Change 299 (understand that)
Avge throttle position 6% (What? I wonder how that is calculated. Average opening when the bike is being driven in gear or average opening from when the bike was started to stopped?)
Front Brake 66
Rear Brake 165 ( For both front and back brakes, what is being measured here. I do use my rear brake but I don't think two and half times as much as the front. Is it simply activation or pressure)

Anyone out there with any ideas?

Only a biker knows why a dog likes to put it's head out of the car window.

Same with the rear to front brake querie on all 'last ride' checks on both my 2015/2017 RS rides.

54 miles last week, across dartmoor - computer average speed 39mph ( 40 mph across all dartmoor anyway) although a few miles were on local A road 70mph.

146 gearchanges / 65.7 mpg.
17% throttle
front brake 58
Rear brake 73 -
I always 'lead' with front brake, engine braking is good anyway but a tap on rear as well aids stability.
It is a 'thing' with the RS even when I have ridden out trying not to use the rear it is always a higher number than the front

the brakes are linked so is it counting the rear twice if you use front and rear at the same time?

as for throttle use, I suspect it is only counting the ride by wire pulses when you ask for more oomph, not on a constant, decreasing or closed opening.

Wow!

I never knew what I was missing.

And I'm convinced I'll never miss stats from a bike.

Carpe Diem!
