Some sort of temp sensor perhaps

I'm kinda surprised by the Ohlins sticker.

Hard to tell from the pic, but there seems to be a similar unit on the rear...

I liked this quote from the site...
Quote:
Estoril 15/10/06:
The goal was quite simply to finish the race, Australian ride Garry McCoy went one better putting in a consistent performance to bring MotoGP’s newest team Ilmor SRT, their first Championship point and making history in process – today was the first time a 800cc capacity bike has scored a point in the MotoGP series.

I think they are bullshit detectors. There is a warning light on the dash to alert McCoy when Pedrosa is near.

I don't have any good ones.

With the end it looks like IR, but why do you care what the temp of the forkbottom is?

It looked like IR to me as well, but didn't seem to be staring at the rotor or anything else that made sense.

I seem to recall a team last year that was experimenting with a traction control sensor that "sensed" relative velocity of the pavement itself....being nearly along the contact patch axis this makes sense, but the sensor head just doesn't "look" right for that...

Probly a mo' simple explanation....

Wheel speed sensors? Get differential speeds to compute wheel spin or lock? They appear to be too far from the wheels to get a good reading, but

Didn't the Aprillia have the same thing? Both motors derived from F1 technology.

got that right. Sort of like the 2 clip short on the F16 so the pilots could still do 13g turns that the avionics wouldn't allow . . .

Re: Nice Ilmor wallpaper...
RIght. And I don't think a wheelie control system could work strictly with WSSs without being a TC system at the same time. It would need to measure the distance from the ground, like with an IR sensor. But then I'm still just guessing.

Re: Nice Ilmor wallpaper...
The location of these things seems to suggest they are part of an ETC scheme, but the shape and angle doesn't really jibe with that..
Any miniature Dopplers that I have seen are cylindrical...not that Ilmor couldn't have made them in another form factor, but they just don't look "right" to be Dopplers...

Anyone out there with some insight...
