BMW Handheld Tuner with Custom Mapping

No need to send in your ECU or remove it from your bike at all. You order the handheld, it gets delivered to you, you flash your bike. You never miss a day of riding and no effort removing the ECU.

The best new motorcycle on the market! US and European model 1000RR's have been restricted from the factory with the US models having worse restrictions than its European counterpart. Using the same setup and motor as the 2023 S1000RR but with an even worse software, the M1000R is even more potent on the top end when tuned! Stage 1 was developed to remove these restrictions and unlock your M1000R’s full potential, the difference on the 2023 is the most astonishing out of any BMW to date - a must have.

ONE TUNE FOR ALL
Racers at the circuit tracks or the drag strips will appreciate this tune. Thoroughly tested in both aspects by track racers, roll racers and just the casual rider wanting a more exciting bike to ride.

TRACK RACERS
Track racers can enjoy modified TC settings for different tire sizes, smoother throttle transitions/tip-in, consistent and predicable power. All this comes together to make sure you start and finish a turn to the best of the bikes capability. Working directly with MotoAmerica racers really helped us dial in our products for the track.

DRAG / ROLL RACERS
Drag racers have the capability to restrict throttle in first and second gear to make managing wheelies easier. For more top end then others, we adjust timing, fueling, FTCL (full-time closed loop), SOI (start of injection), EGT, the list goes on and on. Years of experience have helped us squeeze every bit of power from the bike, while keeping it reliable and consistent.

STREET RIDERS
For the casual rider, derestricting the bike is the biggest advantage to our tuning. This makes the bike a blast to ride and gives the rider smile educing power. The throttle is smooth when cruising and brutal when your need it to be. Hundreds of hours and miles goes into our tuning and testing. We want to present the best product on the market while leading the pack in customer satisfaction.

WHAT’S INCLUDED IN STAGE 1

• De-restricted Throttle +60hp gains in the midrange, and +30whp over the curve!
• De-restricted Exhaust Valve and intake flappers, open to 100% in certain riding scenarios for best sound and performance.
• Throttle response increased 12% in every race pro 1-3 mode to reach a target of 100% throttle. Road mode de-sensitized for highway cruise, normally jerky.
• Cruise control jerkiness adjusted for highway cruising tip in and out.
• Worse then the S1000RR restriction! The M1000R has a top end Torque limiter of 60% raised now to 100% free top end horsepower, 200whp on a stock bike. (a BT Moto exclusive!) 160mph limiter (due to torque) removed will go 180mph GPS on stock sprockets on stock limiter.
• Better Fuelling, cleaned up for maximum fuelling economy and horsepower gains.
• Second and third gear transmission limiter removed.
• Enhanced and restructured hard cut rev-limiter.
• Mapping available for different modification combos
• Heat Management through better fuelling, and lower cooling fan strategy
• A second and a half off your 60-130!

HOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH STAGE 1

THROTTLE RESTRICTION / TORQUE / GEAR LIMITATIONS
Giving you the ability to utilise 100% of the throttle is paramount in track situations where you need all the power you can get on demand. The factory file has "dead spots" that may cause the M1000R to behave in an unpredictable manner when corner exiting. This also means any kind of straight line acceleration also suffers. We remove these factory restrictions to ensure a smooth and predicable throttle, all the way to redline. It's like getting a new engine, all over again! On the 2023 its very difficult to do this. Only BT Moto has figured out how to "fully" de-restrict the 2023, through torque limits to achieve max power and 100%. The competition still is getting limited. With the torque limiter in place the bike is slower then the 2010 BMW S1000RR!

EXHAUST VALVE / INTAKE FLAP
The exhaust valve is a double edged sword. It does good by making back pressure when needed but also hinders the 2023 M1000R from making the most power possible at mid to upper RPM ranges. The valve closed makes the bike a lot more quiet than if it were open, even slip-on exhaust sounds almost the same as stock due to this valve closing so much. Opening this valve for racing use allows for some horsepower gains, as they are gear and RPM dependent, just like the butterfly valves for the throttle. Lower gears have a smaller valve opening which will reduce overall volume and power by 3-5HP, even in lower RPM’s. Our mapping still utilises the stock exhaust valve to give you maximum power but also opens it up when you need it most.

FUELLING
The 2023 BMW M1000R fuelling is rich for worldwide environment (desert) and longevity purposes but it's overkill. It is also set artificially lean at idle, cruise, and warm up, which results in stalling and cold/hot start issues. The new M1000R is factory equipped with 5-wire widebands (just like the 2020+ S1000RR) and is very precise on targeting a specific AFR (Air/Fuel Ratio) through a closed loop corrective system from idle to redline. Being factory rich also helps it cool the turtleshell exhaust system. However, fuel can be trimmed for better result as it targets real time fuel corrections.

HEAT MANAGEMENT
Lets face it, this bike rides a little on the hot side. Due to the new exhaust system and idle/cruise AFR mixtures the bike is a recipe to being constantly in the 215+F range and burning your legs while you ride, making it uncomfortable anywhere you’re not going 50+MPH. We have solved this issue by adding our low fan temp modification to this flash as a standard baseline feature along with different cruise mapping which has curbed temps extensively.

STOCK 2023 BMW M1000R VS BT MOTO STAGE 1 (5TH GEAR)
Peak gains of 15WHP with a good kick in torque is great but that's not the whole story here. Up top, the stock tuning hits a massive flat spot that noticeably holds the bike. The difference up top is over 20WHP. In the midrange there's an 8WHP gain as well. For 2023 the midrange restriction is new and we also see this on the 2023 S1000RR. Fueling has also been resolved with our full time closed loop tuning feature.

Red = Stock flash with 91 Pump Gas - 185WHP / 85WTQ
Blue = Stage 1 flash with 91 Pump Gas - 200WHP / 87WTQ

STOCK 2023 BMW M1000R VS BT MOTO STAGE 1 (2ND GEAR)
The dreaded second gear flat spot still comes with the 2023 M1000R. Our Stage 1 flash gains 50WHP in the midrange! Anyone that has ridden this bike stock knows how horrible the bike feels in this range. Our flashing fixes this and adds power throughout the entire RPM range. Gears 2-5 have restrictions with the 2023 M1000R. Our flashing removes these restrictions and smooths entire RPM band, making the bike more consistent and more predictable.

Red = Stock flash with 91 Pump Gas - 180WHP / 79WTQ
Blue = Stage 1 flash with 91 Pump Gas - 193WHP / 83WTQ

**Testing performed with California ACN 91 octane pump gas. Usage of a lower octane will yield smaller power gains. Higher octane larger gains**

Fuel Information:

• US 91 = UK 95 RON
• US 93 = UK 98 RON

What is a Handheld Tuner and what are the benefits of having one?

Thoroughly tested by our own engineers, not just for its function but also durability. We purposefully dropped this thing about 100 times just to make sure if you accidentally dropped it, it would still be a usable device.

So why buy it when you can just send in your ECU for flashing and spend less? Let’s see the breakdown:

• NO DOWNTIME – No need to send in your ECU or remove it from your bike at all. You order the handheld, it get’s delivered to you, you flash your bike. You never miss a day of riding and no effort removing the ECU.
• STORE MULTIPLE MAPS – When you send in your ECU, you only get one map. You might be thinking, “why would I need more than one map?”. Storing multiple maps means you’re able to flash for different fuels. If you’re a serious track competitor, we can work with you to get you different mapping for different tracks. If, for example, you add an exhaust to your stock bike, we can email you a file that takes the new exhaust into account with the changes you need to optimize your bike’s new modifications.
• GO BACK TO STOCK ANYTIME – Not only can you store multiple race maps, you can also flash the original, stock file back into the bike at any time and for any reason.
