Through careful testing of the Stock ECU and Aprilia Race ECU calibrations, we were able to find 37 power maps and limiters holding back the otherwise stout 217HP powerplant.
Our Stage 1 RSV4 1100 Factory ECU flash converts the bike to full “Alpha-N” fueling and utilizes the factory oxygen sensors for precise fuel corrections on and off throttle. Improvements in throttle response, rideability, cruising and of course, power, were all immediately apparent. Limiters raised for racing and road course use where you need to extend gears. 205MPH is found on the factory GPS meter with ease.
ADVANTAGES WITH STAGE 1
- On average, gains of 7–14HP from the midrange and up were found over the baseline on a typical exhaust/filter bike with 93 octane fuel in the tank (Larger gains with race fuel)
- Early Fan-On – At 200 degrees, your Aprilia starts to pull power from the engine. We change this to 194 degrees to avoid this power loss and stalling from overheat in stop and go traffic
- Changes to fueling including part, mid and full-throttle while in Alpha-N configuration per cylinder
- Optimization of ignition timing at part and mid throttle for all fuel qualities
- Adjustments to torque limiting to allow the bike to make 100% of its available engine torque at high load
- RPM limiter raised from 13,600RPM to 14,100RPM
- Changes to rev limiter per-gear tables for widest and safest possible powerband as the factory 1100 cuts short in lower and upper gears
- Aggressive adjustments to engine braking For road course use
- Changes in factory unstable engine idle for stability and consistency off-throttle
- Changes to a full 100% throttle opening in all modes, versus a limited table
- Gains throughout the whole curve on all fuel qualities with no loss in power anywhere on the RPM band
- Changes to ABS, DTC, and wheelie intervention for more available power and control for a performance oriented rider
- Corsa ECU base upgrades are standard and included
- Enabled turn signals in headlight LED’s
- We recommend dropping a tooth in the front sprocket or up 2 in the back sprocket for best performance
NOTE: If your Aprilia has a “SCU NOT CONFIGURED” Alarm after flashing, you will need to see the dealer and have them use “PADS” to activate your suspension control unit. This is completely normal after flashing and will not affect performance. At the dealer this will take 30 seconds once the bike is plugged in to PADS.
The dyno results below are from a completely stock 2022 Aprilia RSV4 at an independent dyno in California. The bike has no modifications and is on 91 octane pump gas. You can see gains through the entire RPM range from down low to up high. No changes were made to this bike other than flashing it with Stage 1. Results tested same day, same dyno, back to back.
Factory Tuning, 91 Pump Gas: 183WHP

THE BT MOTO HANDHELD TUNER
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’re 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.
