![]() This applies mostly to the non-DL version (there isn’t any benefit to the extra $ for the DL if you aren’t connecting to your bike’s ECU). Another benefit of it being on a switched circuit is that the timer will automatically power on when you fire up the bike (one less thing to think about) and turn off after the preset time after the ignition is turned off (usually 15 min). I like to use a headlight or any accessory circuit that comes on with the ignition. AiM sells various harnesses and it’s easy enough to tap into an existing switched power circuit (which you definitely want, otherwise you may find your Solo is fully charged but your bike’s battery is dead). Power it from your bike – it sucks to have your session come up and you’re ready to put in a burner and your lap timer is dead.to see if they have a mount specific to your bike. You might also check with Sportbike Track Gear, Wicked Racing, Graves, etc. On my race bike, I fabricated a simple aluminum plate to which I mounted the Solo 2 bracket and still had a spare bracket when I went to the kart track with my mini-moto. ![]() You can buy extra mounting brackets (~$15) if you have more than one bike or alternatively, use a RAM mount ball screwed into the back of the AiM bracket (that’s what I do with my now-repurposed Solo 2 DL, I use it on my street bike when it goes to the track and my mini-motos when I take them to the kart tracks). Mount that bracket solidly and then you can easily remove the lap timer from the bracket for storage, charging, review, etc. Mount it properly – This means using the included mounting bracket.Reflecting on what I’m going to mention comes largely influenced by my day job in IT where I try to automate whatever I can, make it reliable and almost appliance-like. Here I’ll share some of the things I do to automate and simplify data acquisition. Since moving to the AiM equipment, several riding friends have done the same. Way back when, I originally I used a SmartPhone app with an external GPS unit for data acquisition but soon after upgraded to an AiM Solo 2 DL.
