Through careful testing of the stock and Race ECU calibration we were able to find 22 power maps and limiters holding back the otherwise stout powerplant. The Tuono is special! It has a large power limiter in high rpm the other Aprilia’s don’t which give it big top end power when unlocked. Our Stage 1 Tuono 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, ride-ability, cruising and of course, POWER were all immediately apparent. Limiters raised for racing and road course use where you need to extend gears.

WHY CHOOSE BT MOTO
Through careful testing of the stock and Race ECU calibration we were able to find 22 power maps and limiters holding back the otherwise stout powerplant. The Tuono is special! It has a large power limiter in high rpm the other Aprilia's don't which give it big top end power when unlocked. Our Stage 1 Tuono 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, ride-ability, cruising and of course, POWER were all immediately apparent. Limiters raised for racing and road course use where you need to extend gears.
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 (traction control) 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 than 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 you need it to be. Hundreds of hours and miles go into our tuning and testing. We want to present the best product on the market while leading the pack in customer satisfaction.
ADVANTAGES WITH STAGE 1
- Tuono in particular are V4's with an even more restrictive torque model to not compete with their older brother, despite engine differences. We solve that.
- On average, gains of 10HP were found over the Race ECU baseline on a typical full exhaust/filter bike on 93 octane fuel (Larger gains with race fuel). Most importantly on Tuono ECU's there is a massive top end torque limiter.
- Early Fan-On - At 195 degrees, your Aprilia starts to pull power from the engine. We change this to 185 degrees.
- Changes to fueling including part, mid and full throttle while in AlphaN configuration.
- 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 it’s available engine torque.
- Changes to rev limiter per-gear tables for widest and safest possible powerband.
- Aggressive adjustments to engine braking along with decel fueling 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, verses 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.

DYNO TESTING
Baseline: 156WHP / 81WTQ
Stage 1: 164WHP / 85WTQ
**Testing performed with 93 octane pump gas. Usage of a lower octane will yield smaller power gains.**
