BT Moto ECU Flash Group Buy and Discount!

Hi Gents,

After 8.5 years riding a BMW R9T I found a new love in the R18. One thing I notice is that rev matching on downshifts can sometimes be challenging on the R18. Sometimes it seems she just doesn't want to rev up (or chokes). Does this improve with the BT tuning?

Cheers, Mark.

I haven't experienced that before or after the Bren tune. But the bike does rev better after the tune, so maybe it will help your situation.

Absolutely. Power delivery is consistent through out the RPM range.

Why Flash Your R18's ECU? (Info)
​

STAGE 1 BENEFITS​

Perfect fueling, all the time! The BMW R18 comes equipped with wideband oxygen sensors stock which fully target fuel at every throttle position. Once setup, the bike is running an “auto” tuner all the time! Never needing custom adjustments for aftermarket parts, etc. The bike will adjust itself for the new parts! With the options below we have a full on unleashed and aural riding experience to enjoy this motorcycle to it’s best possible potential.

Here’s a list of everything we did with Stage 1:

  • Full-Time Closed Loop (FTCL) Fueling Adjustments
  • Removed RPM “Soft” Limiter
  • Rough Idle Fix – Cold and Warm
  • Increased Torque Limits
  • Increased Throttle Limiter To 100%
  • Sharper Throttle Response
  • More Aggressive “Rock” Mode Rumble
  • Increased Ignition Timing
  • Fixed Bucking and Rev Hang
  • Removed Top Speed Limiter

HOW WE ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH STAGE 1​

RESTRICTIONS REMOVED. The OEM throttle model has “soft” and “hard” limits. The soft limits are where the R18 will start to close the throttle and limit torque by itself near the RPM limiter. We removed the soft limiter that comes in 600RPM before the factory RPM limiter.

MODIFIED FUELING FOR FULL-TIME CLOSED LOOP AND WILL TARGET FOR BEST FUELING AND PERFORMANCE. Full-time closed loop tuning means your R18 can be programmed to always target a perfect AFR (air/fuel ratio). This new technology was just introduced by BMW and we utilize it to work at all times for you with Stage 1. Want to change parts on your bike and worried it may change your fueling? Worry no more with Stage 1.

MODIFIED IGNITION FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE. Stage 1 optimizes the ignition tables for performance and reliability. The R18 has multiple ignition tables. Depending on fuel quality, the bike will either choose more aggressive or less aggressive ignition map.

IDLE AND STARTUP FIXES. Complaints of idle and startup issues are common. Stage 1 fixes these issues and ensures your bike starts up and idles right the first time, every time.

INCREASED TORQUE LIMITS. Torque limits removed to give you more torque in the midrange and low end (see dyno graphs below).

THROTTLE INCREASED TO 100%. Factory throttle limits are common these days. Our Stage 1 flash removes all throttle limiters and gives you the power your bike should have had right from the factory. The factory R18 throttle limiters are at 3500RPM.

SHARPER THROTTLE RESPONSE. Throttle response sharpened to give you a more lively and responsive feel on the road.

INCREASED “ROCK” MODE RUMBLE. Ready to Rock? “Rock” mode idle gives you slightly more rumble and shake, while “Roll” mode still retains its functions with no shake.

INCREASED IGNITION TIMING. Ignition timing carefully increased to yield optimized power while still giving you OEM reliability and rideability.

FIXED BUCKING AND REV HANG. Low RPM bucking and throttle lift “rev hang” have been reduced with Stage 1.

REMOVED TOP SPEED LIMITER. Top speed limiter of 110MPH had been removed with Stage 1

The R18 isn’t know to be a powerhouse but there’s still power to be made. With our Stage 1 flash we were able to gain 6WHP and 4WTQ. We also were able to smooth the throttle with sharper response. All dyno runs performed back to back on our in-house DynoJet with the only difference being our Stage 1 flash.

BLUE = Stage 1 with 93 Pump Gas, 83WHP / 114WTQ
RED = Factory tuning with 93 Pump Gas, 77WHP / 110WTQ

The graph below shows partial throttle power. We gave the R18 more partial throttle power through the entire RPM range and were able to make the bike smoother and more predicable.

BLUE = Stage 1 with 93 Pump Gas
RED = Factory tuning with 93 Pump Gas

For those of us that purchased at the beginning of this year. Are their any updates, firmware etc that we need to be aware of? I will be removing the tune for my upcoming service. I have read the process is quite straight forward.

did reload the original before the service and put it right back to the modded version the next day.... works like a charm
 
Hi,

This has been a conundrum for me. I flashed a Kawasaki Voyager 1700 a couple years ago for $350 and it made a ton of difference (better).
But my R18 has great torque and throttle response gopower so I’m still on the fence.

I would say if you are totally happy with the bike, leave as is. The changes with the tune are subtle but definitely an improvement big enough that I don’t regret the money spent on the tune.

Did you apply the “R18200off” coupon code? It still works for 200 off.
