RIDEOLOGY
MOBILE APP
Flying around the oval at Las
Vegas Motor Speedway,
there were times when I was
wondering how fast I was go-
ing but not able to look away
from the track for fear of
missing my braking marker.
Thankfully, Kawasaki offers a
mobile app called Rideology
which keeps track of your
speed and a whole lot more.
Pair your phone to your bike
via Bluetooth and you'll have
access to vehicle information
such as the fuel level, odom-
eter reading and maintenance
schedule. You can also select
your desired riding mode or
set the traction control level/
power output of the customiz-
able Rider mode.
Review how far you leaned over or how hard you
were on the gas with the Rideology app.
The Z H2 is a
solid-sized beast,
but handles its
weight well in
corners.
Whether you're on the
street or the track, just tell
your bike when you're start-
ing and stopping your ride.
Along the way, the app tracks
an impressive amount of
real-time information: speed,
selected gear, rpm, miles per
gallon, brake pressure, boost
pressure, throttle percent-
age… there's lots to explore!
GPS tracking was all over
the place on my phone and
the app crashed several
times, but it was exciting to
review the data from our laps
on the NASCAR oval. Wheth-
er you want to look back at
your maximum lean angle or
just see how much fuel is in
the tank so you'll know if you
have to stop at a gas station
on your way to work in the
morning, Rideology has you
covered.
