Yamaha R1: import your Y-TRAC sessions (.CTRK)

Your Yamaha YZF-R1 already records your track sessions. Brake Point now imports those .CTRK files directly — laps, speed, lean angle, engine RPM and throttle.

By Henrique

Recent Yamaha YZF-R1s (2015 and up) record your track sessions on their own, through the connected Y-TRAC system. You pull a .CTRK file over Wi-Fi — and until now, you had to stay inside the Yamaha app to do anything with it.

Good news: Brake Point now imports those files directly. No middleman software, no fiddly export.

What you get

Once your .CTRK is imported, your session is analyzed corner by corner:

  • Your laps, detected automatically — and not roughly: Brake Point uses the start/finish line you set on the bike, which is stored right in the file.
  • Speed and track map from the bike’s GPS.
  • Lean angle, computed from your trajectory.
  • Engine RPM and throttle, read from the R1’s electronics.

It all sits alongside your other sessions so you can compare laps, track your progress, and get tips from BudAI, our AI coach.

One honest note

The Yamaha format isn’t public — we decoded it ourselves. GPS, laps and lean angle are reliable. Engine RPM and throttle are estimated for now — the curves and trends are correct and useful, but the exact values will be refined as we finish decoding. That’s why Yamaha support is marked experimental.

How to import

  1. Pull the .CTRK session from your R1 (Wi-Fi / Y-TRAC app)
  2. Go to app.brakepoint.io
  3. Click Import a session and select your .CTRK file
