Another new technology in use is lean angle sensing that modulates the power output based on lean angle. This works in conjunction with traction control to keep the rear wheel from breaking traction.

Part of the rider compromise, significantly affected by ECU (Engine Control Unit) technology, is that explosive torque at lower RPM may cause the rear tire to spin unless modulated, causing riders to use higher RPM where torque changes are less severe.

This consideration also affects gear selection for the individual circuit, which comprises an essential element in setup before and during practice and qualification.
