I have been using this for the past 2 years on my 2024 450 FE, and now this weekend passed on the new 2026 FE 450.

I have a few questions. Is anyone else out there actively using the CUO and/or the Lit pro unit?

Thanks.

  1. Do you use a heart rate strap with it? - if so which one?
  2. Does yours start logging at the start of races, or the first completed lap?

  1. I have not tried a heart rate monitor.
  2. You have to cross the finish line 2x for the lap to count. Most of the tracks I ride you enter the track after the finish line so you do 98% of a lap before crossing the finish line for the 1st time so that lap doesn’t get logged.

I use Polar H10 heart rate strap with CUO and it is working perfectly

The Litpro version also logs starts.

I presumed we would be able to do the same. Monitoring throttle position, RPM, shift points, etc., is what I thought would be a part of the system.

Pretty disappointing to not have such a core function not available for racing analyses.

So I can log all that you stated with CUO, but a regular Litpro setup cannot as it doesn't have a interface to the ECU to pull that data.

That's a good point, thank you. I hadn't really appreciated that Litpro might not do the ECU logging.

However, The Litpro can do launch analyses, 0 to 60m times and so on, do you know if the CUO can do the same?

My starts need work!! Smile

No I don’t think it can do starts.

Just confirming... CUO does not log starts. However it performs flawlessly otherwise for me.
