BT Moto Stage 1+ Performance Calibration w/Handheld Tuner 2025 BMW S1000RR

The 2025 BMW S1000RR is a step above the 23-24 models in track performance due to its new fairing design and aggressive looks. Along with the new look, the bike also get a 60* throttle that's been revised from the 72* throttle we had previous models. We also received some engine head revisions including new "M1000 full cylinder head) porting, valve springs and more, in addition to new back end software changes. Also an incredibly new sounding exhaust note even with the same exhaust.  Still present is the now notorious mid-range dead spot and heavy top end high RPM restrictions carried over from the 23-24 S1000RR. The changes in the software did however require some new thinking on our part; but with our years of experience, specialty tools, dataloggers and dynomometer, we were able to seamlessly create mapping that all BMW enthusiasts can enjoy. This means offering the best performance, reliability and rideability of anyone in the industry, with the data and results to back it up. As we've always said, this flash is a must have for any RR owner, from casual riders, street enthusiasts or full blown racers.

THE BT MOTO DIFFERENCE

We are obsessed with BMW motorcycles and it shows. Thoroughly tested in all aspects by track racers, drag racers or just the casual street rider wanting a more exciting bike to ride, our Stage 1 makes the bike how it should have came from the factory, and then some. We purchase the motorcycles and fully disassemble, diagnosis, datalog, and test for every aspect of performance and rideability while keeping fuel economy, emissions, and engine reliability at stock or better levels! Our growing YouTube Channel has highlighted a lot of these changes and showcases our build series! We have kept these bikes in our personal fleet since 2010, innovating cutting edge features and working on customer requests along the way. Our customers benefit from this process tremendously as things that bother them get brought to the forefront and fixed, making a more enjoyable riding experience. No one has more thorough research into making these bikes more enjoyable than us, with a money back guarantee. Be sure to reference our in-house YouTube reviews and testing for before and after horsepower gains, before and after acceleration testing and rideability quirk fixes that we complete with a third party on all bikes. As a final point, we send out all our calibrations to be tested by CARB for government emissions compliance, and third party verification. Before and after horsepower, along with tailpipe emissions to get a certified EO number to be sold in California - 50 state legal - as the California year round riding and bike market is huge!

DRAG / ROLL RACERS / AND MAX SAFE ENGINE HORSEPOWER

Drag racers have the capability to ride derestricted, TC refined, and torque management maximized, allowing you to put the power down, gear after gear without limitations. Because of our extensive factory ECU understanding and 100's of engine channels we've datalogged, we are able to adjust the ECU and engine far better than the competition who simply flatten fuel and advance ignition blindly. We are uniquely setup to use the tools granted to us with the factory ECU to activate custom code like full-time closed loop, which utilizes factory sensors to "auto tune" the motorcycle at every throttle position without custom dyno mapping needed, adjust SOI (injector phase), rewrite spark maps per octane and address hidden torque maps to make sure the engine never holds back horsepower while not putting the bike outside its safety window. We also address additional safety functions to keep the engine reliable in extreme environments beyond factory tolerances. We test best and worst possible fuels and optimize all of them to the best of our abilities. Years of experience have helped us squeeze every bit of power from the bike, while keeping it reliable and consistent. Be careful with others claiming more power as there is a delicate balance. Forced ignition advance, deleted knock control, disabled dtc tables and lean air fuels are a short way to an expensive repair for 2HP.

TRACK RACERS

For the casual rider, derestricting the bike is the biggest advantage of our tuning. This makes the bike a blast to ride and gives the rider smile inducing power from one simple modification. Making sure the throttle is smooth when cruising and providing brutal power when you need it is important for all liter bike owners. Stop and go traffic or canyon carving on the weekends is where we put our development bikes to the test as they need to ride in low speed situations as good as they work on the airstrip at wide open throttle. Hundreds of hours and miles go into our tuning and testing, among several bikes, fuels, and test riders before we ever release our product. We want to present the best product on the market while leading the pack in customer satisfaction.

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 and regularly datalogging all of the fastest stock ECU BMW S1000RR riders has opened a window and drastically improved our mapping and knowledge-base to better help our customers perform properly on the track keeping you ahead of the pack.

HOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH STAGE 1?

The purpose of this modification is to get an optimized factory like bike at its power capabilities with or without hard parts while maintaining factory reliability and emissions standards (if applicable) to your state / country.

• THROTTLE RESTRICTION / TORQUE / GEAR LIMITATIONS -  We give you the ability to utilize 100% of the throttle is paramount in track or racing situations where you need all the power you can get on demand. The factory file has "dead spots" that may cause the BMW S1000RR to behave in an unpredictable manner when corner exiting or hitting the throttle from a roll-on. This also means any kind of straight line acceleration suffers, especially in high RPM's. Gain 60hp in 2nd and 3rd gear, and 20HP in others! We remove these factory restrictions to ensure a smooth and predicable throttle all the way to redline, It's like getting a new engine all over again! On the 2025 it's very difficult to do this properly and only BT Moto has figured out how to "fully" derestrict the 2025 bikes through torque limits to achieve max power and 100% throttle when you need it. The competition still is getting limited throttle after 12k. With the "stock ECU" torque limiter in place the bike is slower then the 2010 BMW S1000RR!
  
• EXHAUST VALVE / INTAKE FLAP - The exhaust valve is a double edged sword. It does good by making back pressure when needed but also hinders the 2025 BMW S1000RR from making the most power possible at mid to upper RPM ranges. The valve closed makes the bike a lot more quiet than if it were open, even slip-on exhaust sounds almost the same as stock due to this valve closing so much. Opening this valve for racing use allows for some horsepower gains, as they are gear and RPM dependent, just like the butterfly valves for the throttle. Lower gears have a smaller valve opening which will reduce overall volume and power by 3-5HP, even in lower RPM’s. Our mapping still utilizes the stock exhaust valve to give you maximum power but also opens it up when you need it most. The intake valve is closed at certain RPM's from the factory (closed until 6,000 RPM stock), we open this fully to allow max airflow to the airbox at all times.
  
• FUELING - The 2025 BMW S1000RR fueling is rich for worldwide environment (desert) and longevity purposes, but we've found that it's overkill. It is also set artificially lean at idle, cruise, and warm up, which results in stalling and cold/hot start issues. The new BMW S1000RR is factory equipped with 5-wire widebands (just like the 2020+ S1000RR) and is very precise on targeting a specific AFR (Air/Fuel Ratio) through a closed loop corrective system from idle to redline. Being factory rich also helps it cool the "turtleshell" system for longest life and warranty free life. However, fuel can be trimmed safely for better result as it targets real time fuel corrections. We also enable the OEM closed loop system to run full-time thanks to the addition of wideband oxygen sensors on the S1000RR. This means we set a lambda target and the bike will constantly adjust, using the on-board exhaust sensors, to maximize performance. This makes dyno tuning irrelevant for the S1000RR!
  
• IGNITION - On the 2025 we adjust per cylinder corrections for maximum engine performance and increased torque and horsepower via steady state dyno tuning and datalogging verification for all fuels. We also keep safety maps active incase of poor fuel.  We do not overtime these engines blindly, as they do not respond well or make power from excessive ignition. What this means for the end user is automatic power increases with higher octane fuel in the bike, without changing the map.
  
• HEAT MANAGEMENT - Lets face it, this bike rides a little on the hot side. Due to the new exhaust system and idle/cruise AFR mixtures the bike is a recipe to being constantly in the 215+F range and burning your legs while you ride, making it uncomfortable anywhere you’re not going 50+MPH. We have solved this issue by adding our low fan temp modification to this flash as a standard baseline feature along with different cruise mapping which has curbed temps extensively.
