Actually it uses the stock Ducati PDM, the solid state one they tried wasn't up to the task. The system is put together by SBU and it's a well built system it looks like they collaborated with bike sport development in the UK

So Alkhater obviously I built a substantially inferior bike this last time out because I didn’t incorporate PDM into my electronic selection. So that I may up my game to your standards on the next build what is PDM going to do for me that will make the next bike at least decent?

Yeah they probably haven't updated their website, i have the system from their V4 build and it uses stock PDM they advised me this is the only option, i prefer that as it's easier to Carry spares. I think it also uses the Motec IMU but we're swapping out for the stock V4R one as it's a lot better.Stock Ducati pdm?
Iirc, you choose from one of three MoTec pdm options when you order the kit from SBU.
It comes down to resources. Capital, access, exposure to technology etc. I grew up around aerospace and was spoiled by the materials, fasteners, construction etc. Its all I know and all I use in anything I do. My damn dog cart I made has Ti fasteners (I .... you not). If I can’t get it, I wait. If I still can’t get it, I’ll make it but I’m not going to compromise my approach to building and construction that started with skateboards when I was 7.
I’m not much into pride whatsoever. There is a way of doing something correctly that really shouldn’t be part of consideration, that’s just how it’s done. What irks me is that as far as quality, ingenuity and methodology are concerned, there are virtually unlimited outlets to learn. To not do the very best at whatever it is that you do is self destructive.
And yes I am fortunate to not have to work for a living (relatively speaking)but that was engineered as well a long time ago simply by watching others who we’re doing it and learning from them. Again glaring examples of how to “do it right” with 90% of the population doing it wrong. Dumbfounding.
From the MoTec website. My question is, what possible relevance does this have for anyone running anything but a full competition platform with a lot of data inputs .I literally have 4 fuses and a couple of relays on the last bike I built and you literally made a comment that it was somehow substandard because it did not incorporate a PDM platform, so given the comment why do I need a PDM platform on a non competitive 2 cylinder motorcycle? Tell me what I can do with it to make my platform better. I would love to know how the benefits listed below help me and you for that matter. I assume from your posts that you are utilizing this platform so maybe you could share how you are using your PDM to build a better system.
MoTeC Power Distribution Modules (PDM) are designed to replace conventional relays, fuses and circuit breakers, simplifying wiring and reducing weight while increasing reliability.
They not only provide electronically switched power to various systems in the vehicle, but can also be programmed to make smart decisions while the vehicle is out on track. For example, they can restart devices automatically after a short, switch to a reserve pump if a main pump fails, systematically shut down devices if battery voltage drops, even regulate the water in a driver’s cool suit.
In addition to that the PDMs provide full diagnostic information, including output currents and error status, enabling teams to monitor the entire vehicle via telemetry.
What I need to know is how is that in any way relevant to me? I don't have any of those things. Its a 2 cylinder street bike. I have a head light, tail light, turn signals. No ABS, No Elock, hell i dont even have a key. Im not logging, I don't have telemetry, I have no peripheral devices (radar, phone, refrigerator, hot tub, fog lights, multi media) so help me out, what grave error did I make not incorporating a power distribution module into my platform that would have elevated my build to a higher status. Dude I like tech, so my bad, I aparently missed the boat here. Tell me what to get and i will get it hooked upLol
That’s a very clear description
What else do you want to know?

Hmmm, not making a very powerful case for your comments, so I come to you for advice on how to incorporate what was obviously a huge oversight in my choice of electronics but now you seem lost for words. Open checkbook my friend, point me in the right direction, I will buy whatever is necessary, help me fix this blunder of a bike build. Please provide me with a general list of what a PDM will do for me and i will order it immediately.Is it a Vespa?
I want one of those.
