Suspension ride height timing retard

I have a M130. I am using a laser sensor on a motorcycle to help control wheelies. Is there a way to change the suspension ride height settings from gear position to inches.. that way I can control the Wheelie by pulling timing based on how far the front tire comes up off the ground versus just Gear position. Thanks for your help

There will be a way to make that work, the important question is which package are you using? GPR Motorcycle?

With custom packages like this, it's usually recommended to go to the person who wrote it to get support - only they know how the package functions.

Having said that, it looks like the "Suspension Height Ignition Retard" table is the one you want to modify. If you select the table and press "A", you can modify the axes. Select the tab labelled "Suspension Height" and check "Enable Axis"; you can now input suspension height values to fill out the axis, then when that is done you can fill out the table as needed to retard timing with suspension height. If you don't want to use Gear position for the table, you can go to that tab and disable the axis.

Hello Malcomb,
In reference to the Ignition Retard table should I put in negative numbers or positive numbers. For example, at 4 inches of travel I want to pull 6 degs of timing. Even tho the table says "RTD" would I still need to put a -6 or a 6 in that block.

I am attaching the table that I completed for you review. I have no idea what numbers to put in the table so the numbers I used will be used as a reference unless you have a better idea of the numbers I should use.

Thanks for your help.

Use positive numbers since the units are RTD. Really it should be restricted so you can't put in negative numbers.

Again, you're probably better off talking to the person who wrote the package if you need specific advice. It seems like something you either tune at the track or get a recommendation from someone who has used it before - I'm not familiar with it at all.
