The VR3 is the motorcycle gauge and data tool that will revolutionize the way you ride.

The VR3 is the third generation Veypor performance gauge and has features for riders of all types and works on all motorcycles, cars, karts, scooters and ATVs. It is simple to use and even easier to install. You can focus on riding and let the Veypor accurately analyze and display all your performance data, track your distance and fuel usage and monitor your maintenance tasks.

The VR3 has all the award winning features of the original Veypor plus advanced functions like full time datalogging, lap time delta display, drag coefficient measurement, battery voltage, ambient temperature, built-in time and date and USB data download.

The VR3 provides useful features for all driving situations and in all weather conditions - from drag and circuit racing on a track, to rally racing in the desert, to a daily commute. You can watch your mileage and fuel consumption in real-time, practice staged 1/4 mile runs, improve your lap times or just find out which gear you're in. The rally computer mode lets you time and measure every leg of a journey or stage of a rally. Want to know exactly how long it took you to cover that 60 Mile stretch of twisties, how much gas you used and what your average speed was? Now you do. The Horsepower and Torque plotting serve as an invaluable tuning aid for making engine adjustments and the data acquisition provides post race/trip analysis. The Veypor even reminds you when to change your oil and clean your filters.

The full instrumentation including permanent odometer and simulated fuel gauge lets the Veypor replace an entire bulky instrument panel on your custom streetfighter, cruiser or kit car. Since it is rain and splash proof, you can use it anytime you want to go for a ride.

The VR3 is housed in high strength ABS plastic coated with black metallic paint. The paint is durable and scratch resistant and actually adds strength and rigidity to the case making it extra tough.

Most importantly, the system is very easy to install - requiring only basic knowledge of the motorcycle or vehicle and an hour or two of your time. No wiring diagrams or special tools are necessary.

The VR3 works on any gas or diesel powered vehicle. For electric vehicles (EVs) we have designed the eVR3.

Performance Intelligence

We say intelligence for a reason. The Veypor is full of intelligent features. The automatic ¼ mile and 0-60Mph modes sense vehicle motion and only start logging data when you start moving and stop logging when the run is over. By using the internal accelerometers and wheel sensor together, the Veypor knows if your rear wheel is spinning will still give you accurate forward velocity. With the wheel rotation sensor on the back wheel, even if the front wheel comes off the ground accurate distance and speed measurements are always known.

Veypor can remember and recall up to eight stored runs. It can store up 8 sessions of 30 lap times each, it can keep track of your average velocity over any amount of time, and it can memorize all your gear ratios. It’s RPM sensor is programmable for any engine type (V-Twin, Single, I-4, parallel twin) and has a dual stage programmable shift light for any RPM level you want. It lets you choose different graphic displays and metric or imperial units. And it lets you customize this configuration data for up to four different vehicles making it easy to quickly switch between rides or setups. All this data is permanently stored in the Veypor. It can sit around for years and the data will still be there.

Precise Sensing

Veypor’s outstanding accuracy comes from a dual motion sensor architecture that uses both accelerometers and wheel rotation sensing coupled to a high speed microprocessor.

You’ve probably heard of a few products that use accelerometers as a method for measuring motion over short distances and times. The problem is that they are highly subject to electronic noise, vehicle vibration, bumps in the road, hills, lateral drift and temperature. This makes their accuracy very unreliable for any period of time over several seconds, at low accelerations or at different times of the day when the temperature has changed a lot. At high accelerations and at low speeds over short distances they perform very well, generating a constant stream of data hundreds of times per second.

We have combined a highly accurate 3-axis accelerometer with a wheel rotation sensor. The Wheel Rotation Sensor generates very accurate data but only generates it once per wheel rotation. Combining this with the accelerometers provides data with very high accuracy all the time, whether cruising on the highway, accelerating on the drag strip or cornering on the racetrack.

Complete Instrumentation

The Veypor has everything you need to replace your stock instrumentation. It features a user selectable metric or imperial display of speed, RPM, current gear, tripmeter and a permanent odometer.

Datalogging

The VR3 has powerful datalogging features usually only found on very expensive and very complicated race systems. The VR3 provides up to 25 hours of datalogging for anything from a road trip to a trip around the race track. You can select a sampling rate of up to 50Hz and datalog all your critical stats: Speed, RPM, Velocity, Distance, Time, Acceleration, Horsepower and Torque. The data is saved onboard the VR3 in non-volatile memory. You can download the data to the free PC based VR3 analysis software and plot, analyze and review every sample.

Flexible Logging

The VR3 can store as many datalogging sessions as you want. During laptiming it logs all data and records lap times and split times to 1/100th of a second accuracy. When the onboard memory is full you can download all of your runs to a PC for analysis. The VR3 comes with a serial cable for downloading or use it with the optional USB adapter to connect using a USB port.

Meter Those Hours

The Veypor features a fully functional hour meter with two indpendent and programmable timers. Each timer can be turned on or off and set to a specific number of hours. The timer only counts down when the engine is running and displays a warning on screen when maintenance is required. The Hour Meter is perfect for tracking routine maintenance items like oil changes, filter cleanings and spark plug changes. This results in less down time, increased fuel economy and better performance.

Accurate RPMs

The built-in tachometer actually measures every individual engine spark with an accuracy of 5 millionths of a second. It then uses an adaptive algorithm to smooth out and average this value so you see the constant RPM of your engine, not values bouncing all over the place. This lets you get your engine speed exactly right before dropping the clutch and taking off.

Real Data in Real Time

Everything is real-time. No matter what you’re doing the display tells you your real time speed, acceleration, RPM, which gear you are in, and how much distance you've covered. Speed, acceleration and RPM are displayed using a digital numerical readout of the exact value and using bar graphs so you can get the relative values at a glance. The RPM and velocity bar graphs have programmable upper limits. Set the RPM graph to a limit of 10,000 and you’ll know at a glance exactly how close you are to that redline or optimal shift point.

Plenty of Data

The Veypor records lots of data, at very high sampling rates. During runs Veypor logs your Velocity, RPM, Distance, Time, Horsepower and Acceleration. During quarter mile mode all data is recorded 25 times per second (25Hz) and for a maximum of 28 seconds. In 0-60Mph timing and braking tests, data is recorded 50 times every second (50Hz) for a maximum of 14 seconds. You don’t even have to limit yourself to 0-60 or ¼ Mile runs. During those 14-28 seconds you can do whatever you want and the Veypor will capture all the data and allow you to graph it later.

What gear am I in?

Without the need of any additional sensors the Veypor tells you your current gear. It uses your speed and RPM to calculate and memorize your gear ratios so that you always know what gear you’re in. You can also choose to display your current gear ratio instead of the gear number. The gear ratio shows the exact ratio of your gearing - great for CVT transmissions and can even show you when the clutch is slipping.

Date and Time

A built-in clock and calendar with battery back-up lets you keep track of the date and time. The VR3 tags all your runs, laps, races, and datalogging sessions with the current time and day so that when you view or download them later you will know exactly when they took place. An internal lithium battery is included and lasts for up to 10 years before requiring replacement.

Download the Data

If you want to store more than eight runs, or data from multiple vehicles, just download it to the PC using our software. You can store hundreds of runs on your PC and plot them all. Use a laptop at the track or quickly detach the Veypor and connect it to your PC at home. The included USB cable also powers the unit when plugged into a computer.

Perfect Vision

Veypor collects and displays a lot of information. All this information is displayed on a large graphic LCD that’s easily readable in direct sunlight and has a distinctive blue backlight for excellent visibility at night.

The Complete Package

The Veypor comes with everything for installation: All sensors, wiring, mounting hardware, the PC serial cable and power cable. We even include a bottle of super glue for attaching the wheel rotation magnet.

The Veypor box includes:

Veypor device and all installation hardware, AC/DC wall transformer, PC Serial Cable, R.A.M. Universal Motorcycle Mount, Manual and installation guide.

Portable Dynamometer

The Veypor lets you plot full Horsepower and Torque curves for your vehicle. Change your muffler, adjust your timing and see what affect it has on your power curves immediately and in real road conditions. Use the dynamometer mode to set two RPM values and plot your power curve for that gear.

Fuel Toolbox

Want more info on your mileage, how far a tank gets you? Don't have a gas gauge? The Veypor fuel estimation tools accurately predict fuel use, distance remaining on a tank, instantaneous and average mileage. Track how far you've gone on a tank with a separate tripmeter and see your fuel level with the fuel gauge graphics.

Performance Testing

The Veypor lets you do 1/4 Mile runs complete with a Full or Pro staging light tree. You can practice your technique or just see what your vehicle is capable of. It also provides you with 0-60 timing, 1/8 mile times, top speed, peak HP and Torque, a braking distance test and a programmable roll-on test.

Lap Timer

The Veypor's built in lap timer lets you record time and top speed for each lap. Upgrade to a VR3 unit for full-time datalogging of your entire race. The data for multiple lap sessions can all be saved for later viewing and analysis. Purchase the optional infra-red or magnetic lap timer receivers to enable fully automatic lap timing with 1/100th of a second accuracy. If you're taking a ride out of town instead of on the track, use the course timer to keep track of all your vital stats including distance, average speed, peak velocity and more.

Shift Light

A large, bright red shift light illuminates when an RPM level you set is reached. This lets you shift at the perfect time without having to constantly take your eyes off the road to look down and consult your tach. Use the dual level mode to set another RPM limit which causes the light to flash quickly when reached. This feature works great for creating an RPM launch window during drag racing - you can hold the perfect RPM without ever having to consult your gauges, allowing you to concentrate on the tree.

Run Analysis

The run analysis screen is where the Veypor really distinguishes itself from standard instrumentation. All the important aspects of your run are displayed automatically: Your elapsed time, reaction time, 0-60Mph time, peak torque and horsepower with RPM, trap speed and max speed. You also get to plot out every data point from your run. You can see horsepower and torque vs. RPM curves, velocity vs. time, RPM vs. time and more. Move the cursor around the graph to get the exact values at each point. When you’re done analyzing the run pick one of the eight available storage slots and save it. Then, if you want even more detail and analysis functions, download the run data to your PC.

Lap Delta Display

The Lap Delta display lets a racer know exactly how their current lap progress compares to the previous lap by showing the difference between the relative lap positions, down to 1/10 th of a second. This information is displayed in real-time, while racing.

While racing, the VR3 takes the current lap time, speed and distance and compares them to the data logged from the previous lap after the same amount of time. The difference (delta) is calculated and displayed on screen. An example Lap Delta value of -0.3s indicates that the driver is currently 0.3 seconds faster than they were at the same spot during the last lap. Likewise, +0.2s indicates the driver is currently 0.2 seconds slower than they were at the same spot in the last lap.

This information is invaluable for determining if the lap pace is off and when it starts to slip or if time is being made up. Most importantly, the information is calculated and displayed while racing, so that corrective measures can be taken during the race.

Drag Coefficient

The drag coefficient measurement is an industry first and only available on the VR3. The VR3 measures your coefficient of drag and rolling resistance automatically and without a wind tunnel, all you need is a flat piece of road a couple hundred feet long. Follow the simple on screen steps to calculate an accurate coefficient of friction for your vehicle in only a few minutes. Then make modifications like removing side mirrors, adjusting riding position, bodywork, etc to see how it improves your aerodynamics. It is a fact that to increase top speed it is more effective to reduce your drag coefficient than to increase horsepower.

Rally Computer

The full featured Rally Computer mode lets navigators and riders accurately cover stages and courses. It has all the tools required by professional rally racers and dual-sport touring enthusiasts. The rally computer features a stopwatch and two independent trip meters that count up or down, are preset-able and reset-able. The time to destination and average speed are calculated for each trip meter including or excluding stops. Total rally stop time, motion time, distance and average speed are recorded as well. The rally mode is simple to use and is completely controlled using only the two Veypor buttons.

Ambient Temperature

A built-in temperature sensor measures the temperature just outside of the Veypor.

Battery Voltage

Wondering how healthy your battery is? The Veypor measures your battery voltage so you can see when it's charging, when it's running low and if cells have failed.
