R18 - Aftermarket ECU options

[Noelpolar]

Does this still hold true in July of 2023.... poor support?

For an answer to that.... you need to define "support" in a meaningful way..... from my perspective.... there is no service manual, the dealer experience varies significantly (there is one in my city of 1.5mil.... next one is a 8hr ride), there is not the "Harley modification community" ie.... parts, service, third party support..... and .... unfortunately(?) not likely to ever be the scale or BMW attitude for it to be any different.

On a personal level.... I expected nothing else and am happy with the bike.... but it is nice to vent every now and again! I quite like how they are not common.

I realize this post was about three years ago but would like to know if anyone has an update on if a aftermarket tuner. I have an 22 Transcontinental with the freedom performance exhaust. Would definitely like to add a tuner to get mor HP.

The tune is very subtle but at the same time, a definite improvement. Sounds good too.

Thanks Cheshire Cat, Is the BT-Moto the only available tuner and will it void BMW’s warranties?

There’s also the SLR tune, but far less info or user experiences available online. I did the BT and really like how it irons out the wrinkles of the stock tune.

The tune won’t “void” your warranty, but you’d need to reload the stock tune before heading to the shop for work. There’d be no evidence of the tune once back stock.
