• 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

• 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 in 2020 on other models, 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. This means more power when you want it through a simple higher octane gas tank fill.
• 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 ridability.
• 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 BT MOTO HANDHELD TUNER

• 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 nearly instantly, and you flash your bike on your time easily. You never miss a day of riding and no effort removing the ECU. Any issues, you can revert back to the full stock state.
• READ AND CLEAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS - Full code reading diagnostics included in the device.
• 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 configurations. 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 modifications 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 with no mailing needed.
• GO BACK TO STOCK ANYTIME - Not only can you store multiple files, you can also flash the original, stock file back into the bike at any time and for any reason for service, sales, and more.
• ABILITY TO TUNE FUTURE BIKES - Customers swap bikes all the time! With our handheld tuner, you are able to put the first bike back to stock, then reset the device and use the same device on your next bike, with a simple and low cost transfer fee.
• ANY ISSUES? We can resolve nearly anything remotely really quick with our engineering staff.
