12-16 BMW K1600 Stage 1+ Performance Calibration With Handheld

• More power
• Goes beyond just removing restrictions
• Fueling optimized
• Ignition changes
• Lower fan-on temp
• Torque tables adjusted
• EGT tables adjusted

HOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH STAGE 1?

• Extensive research and development has allowed us to make more power with this platform.  Not only are we making more power but we are also revising ECU tables to make the bike safer and more reliable for those long trips where having issues isn’t an option.
• We left no stone unturned in our Stage 1 development and spent hours, days, and months to perfect with R&D.
• The air/fuel ratio has been carefully measured in testing with the other changes we’ve made optimizes your K1600 for peak performance and reliability.
• The K1600 has multiple ignition maps (timing maps).  The point to this is to ensure your bike runs at peak performance and reliability, even when bad fuel is present. Bad fuel would be defined as a fuel that has lower than advertised octane, old fuel that’s been sitting in the bike that has now going bad, or a forgetful user that just pumped incorrect octane fuel at the gas station. With our extensive R&D process we’ve been able to optimize each ignition map to not only add more power to your K1600, but also make sure that if bad fuel is present, the motorcycle will still maintain it’s reliability.
• In an effort to cool the engine down more, we have lowered the temperature in which the radiator fans come on. This keeps your bike cooler and more consistent with power.
• Torque limit tables in dynamic mode have all been raised to give you maximum performance.
• We adjusted the EGT (exhaust gas temperatures) tables for maximum performance. Expect large increases in low-end and mid-range throttle response through 100% direct throttle opening in dynamic mode.

WHY IS THIS THE BEST UPGRADE YOU CAN BUY?

The biggest complaints from owners revolved around the pitiful throttle response and of course, the terribly restrictive top speed limiter (GA especially which we found to be around 105MPH). First we baselined the motorcycle in 100% stock ECU form, the motorcycle we used for testing has around 8,000 miles and was well broken in. In stock configuration we found all the talk of poor throttle was spot on, we also found the bike hit the speed limiter in the top of 3rd gear, with 3 more gears to go — frustrating to say the least, especially on a bike of this nature. The power flattened out and the motor was very rich and under-timed.

With or without custom mapping, we all know the BMW K1600 is a wonderful bike that’s amazing for touring! We also know it isn’t perfect. Issues that we’ve verified ourselves and what customers have reported include the following:

• Poor throttle response
• Top speed limiter at 105 MPH (GA)
• Under-timed engine that may feel lazy when power is needed

**All riding modes still work as designed and all will have the throttle improvements that we have implemented. Dynamic mode will still be what you want to use for maximum performance and power.**

**WE OFFER ONLY STAGE 1 FOR THE K1600 NOW, AS A COMBINED MAP WITH ALL FEATURES. HIGHER OCTANES LIKE 93 (vs 91) WILL YEILD MORE POWER**

You can see our tuning safely increases the RPM limiter while giving you more power in the mid-range that is lacking from the K1600’s stock counterpart.

RED = Stock tuning, 93 pump gas
BLUE = BT Moto Stage 1, 93 pump gas

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

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.
