Background and History - RichardSwierk/Champlain-Capstone GitHub Wiki

Over the years motorcycles have become more and more technologically advanced. The biggest advancement in motorcycle technology was moving from carburetors to fuel injection. Honda produced their first fuel injected motorcycle in 1982. (Honda, 2020) With the introduction of fuel injected motorcycles, there is now a more advanced computer which can perform calculations based on data. Carburetors rely on someone to physically change out the jets and adjust screws on the carburetor to change the air/fuel ratio. Even though fuel injected motorcycles have an advanced computer in them that uses data to adjust the air/fuel ratio the most a motorcycle will show the rider is speed, rpm, and gear. Most motorcycles only show speed and if the bike is in neutral. My project will record more data from the onboard computer than motorcycles manufacturers show the rider.
