BrenTuning Moto Flash ECU Custom Mapping - Ducati Streetfighter V4 2020-2024

Ducati 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 Ducati Streetfighter is probably one of the most capable upright Streetfighter bikes we have ever seen since the Aprilia Tuono. Every aspect of this bike is AMAZING it’s an updated 848 Streetfighter. At BrenTuning Moto, we take bikes that are already amazing and make them spectacular. The Ducati Streetfighter V4 is no exception.

Our work with the Panigale V4/1299/1199/959/899/848 Handheld Tuner has helped us develop what we consider the best upgrade you can get for your Streetfighter V4. We have found the refreshed 2020 Streetfighter has a lot of positive changes of 2020+ V4 but with restrictions in the ECU, not only visually, but mostly all on the software side. Remember we use factory information and reverse engineer we don’t use incomplete or cheap guessing “Race” editors like our competitors do.

We had to re-develop fuel map strategies from square one. Ignition maps and throttle mapping are also all new for 2020+ Ducati Streetfighter V4. One of the big complaints for the V4 SF was the twitchy throttle that could make the bike buck in a corner along with the big torque HOLE from 4-8,000rpm. The next issue is the exhaust valve problem, bad start and idling, and low power at midrange due to extremely lean fuelling.

At the moment we have mappings for: stock exhaust, Akrapovic, Arrow and Termignoni (Other mappings are possible based on our best guesses but recommend AFR confirmation post flashing).

WHAT STAGE 1 INCLUDES:

• Correct fuelling on both banks in “Alpha N” mode. Deceleration fuel cut off for all gears, the bike will no longer jerk from throttle inputs (BrenTuning exclusive)
• Lower fan temp activation (BrenTuning exclusive)
• Raised rev limiter
• Raised torque limiters
• Raised load limiters
• Revised traction control and ABS (BrenTuning exclusive)
• Ignition timing adjustments
• Exhaust valve adjustments

Anyone that has the Akra up-map will say the bike feels a lot more lively than stock. So how does our Stage 1 flash compare? Beta testers and our own R&D reveal a VAST improvement over the stock map and even the up-map from Akra.

Why Is This The Best Upgrade You Can Buy?

Currently, there is only one option to flash the V4 SF and it requires the purchase of an exhaust system. This option is mostly just fuelling changes and can be dramatically improved upon. How do we know? We’ve tested all options extensively and can say with 100% confidence that our flash is superior in every way. The up-map flash option cannot be purchased independently without the purchase of an exhaust. So what do people with all other exhausts do? There’s nothing they can do at the moment. Our mapping is currently the only truly developed and tuned file using true Conti M4D Ducati function sheets and mapping accordingly, using our in-house motorcycle and dynometer and datalogging. Not just nudging numbers in generic editors, with no testing, like we see so many people do.

With or without an exhaust flash, we all know the Ducati V4 SF is a great bike! We also know it isn’t perfect. Issues that we’ve tested ourselves and what customers have reported include the following:

• There’s only one flashing options (Akra provided mapping) and they require you to spend thousands on a new exhaust system to go with them. Our product will work on all used systems, or used bikes, where you don’t need a VIN specific Up-Map. We are the ONLY stand alone flash option on the market!
• Stalling for no reason during idle
• Startup issues when exhaust is installed
• Smoking issue and hard starting in all temperatures
• Issues when exhaust is installed
• Acceleration that isn’t smooth through the entire RPM range due to inaccurate AFR
• Engine seems to struggle (lurch or jump through RPM range, 4000 – 8000 RPM) if too warm
• Power that seems to level off (flatten) after 8,000 RPM
• Burn your legs in traffic with stock fan temperature

So What Do We Do About This?

After extensive R&D with our own, in-house, Ducati V4 and select “beta” testers, we can confidently say that we successfully addressed each issue and improved every performance aspect of the V4:

• No more stalling at idle for no reason
• Deceleration fuel cut off fixed (a BT only feature)
• No startup issues with exhaust installed
• Acceleration is now smooth through the entire RPM range
• Engine performs the same with the engine warm or hot
• Early fan-on temp (195 degrees Fahrenheit) to keep your engine cooler
• No problematic fault codes

But I Already Have A Flash That Came With My Exhaust. Why Do I Need This?

When you buy an Akrapovic full system you get a map from the dealer to upload. You are not allowed to upload this yourself. Only a dealer can do this after verifying VIN and purchase. The flash is very basic. Rev limit is increased, AFR (air fuel ratio) is changed to accommodate the new exhaust and the ignition map is altered. Our testing found that there wasn’t really a lot of research done on these changes and MUCH could be improved upon. There’s no available updates or changes (should you decide to upgrade more engine components) and it’s made for pump fuel only.

**Short exhausts like SC Project, for example, require the use of baffles to maintain good rideability and optimal performance**

**Software Version: DU_QD240 computers support, new ones still being worked on**

Dyno Proven

All dyno runs performed back to back with STOCK EXHAUST and 93 pump gas. You can see the flash make the Streetfighter carry more power for longer at the top of the RPM range in a track setting or spirited canyon riding. In the mid-range you can see a noticeable performance gain in the mid and low-range. Perfect for cruising and light to light traffic.

RED = Stock tuning, stock air filter, 93 pump gas – 184whp / 85wtq
BLUE = BT Moto Stage 1, stock air filter, 93 pump gas – 193whp / 88wtq
GREEN= BT Moto Stage 1, Sprint Filter air filter, 93 pump gas – 196whp / 89wtq

Note
All in-house testing performed with 93 octane pump gas. Usage of a lower octane will yield smaller power gains.

Q & A's

What does a BT Moto handheld tuner do?

The BT Moto handheld tuner stores multiple maps that you can change at any time. Unlike the mail-in ECU option, this means no downtime for your motorcycle while we do the flashing process. You can also go back to your stock mapping at any time you'd like and even read and clear engine faults. Additionally, some models will allow for DTC reading / clearing and maintenance light resets.

How does the BT Moto handheld tuning process work?
Easy, you purchase the handheld, we ship it to you. Use the BT Moto handheld tuner to copy your motorcycles stock file (motorcycle will still run fine after this) then email that to Motobull. BT Moto will then create a file from your stock mapping and we will email it back to you so can upload it to the handheld. Once uploaded you'll be able to flash your motorcycle with the BT Moto handheld tuner.

How do I put my motorcycle back to stock with the BT Moto handheld?
Go to "Work" -> "Writing" -> "Original" in the handheld and then it'll load the original factory stock file to your motorcycle.
