BT Moto (24-27) BMW M1000XR Stage 1+ ECU Flash With Tuner

​ THIS PRODUCT IS 50-STATE LEGAL FOR MODEL YEARS 2024-2027 (C.A.R.B. EO# D-868-35)

The best new motorcycle on the market! US and European model 1000XR's has been restricted from the factory and needs tuning to reach its full potential. Using the same setup and motor as the 2023 S1000RR but with an even worse software, the M1000XR is even more potent on the top end when tuned! Stage 1 was developed to remove these restrictions and unlock your M1000XR’s full potential, the difference on the 2023 is the most astonishing out of any BMW to date - a must have.

WHAT'S INCLUDED IN STAGE 1?

• De-restricted Throttle +50hp gains in the midrange, and +10whp over the curve!
• De-restricted Exhaust Valve and intake flappers, open to 100% in certain riding scenarios for best sound and performance
• Throttle response increased 12% in every race pro 1-3 mode to reach a target of 100% throttle. Road mode de-sensitized for highway cruise, normally jerky
• Cruise control jerkiness adjusted for highway cruising tip in and out
• Worse than the S1000RR restriction! The M1000XR has a top end Torque limiter of 60% raised now to 100% free top end horsepower, 200whp on a stock bike. (a BT Moto exclusive!) 160mph limiter (due to torque limiter)
• Better Fueling, cleaned up for maximum fueling economy and horsepower gains
• Second and third gear transmission limiter removed
  
• Enhanced and restructured hard cut rev-limiter
• Mapping available for different modification combos
• Heat Management through better fueling, and lower cooling fan strategy
• 60-130MPH times reduced from 5.6 seconds to 5.0 seconds, verified on GPS ( )
• Please note: Our stage 1 tuning is certified 50 state legal by CARB EO D-868. As of July 2025, we no longer offer extended rev limiter options on stage 1 tuning. Stage 1 is designed to for OEM dealer level serviceability and to abide by BMW's warranty standards. For race use please consider our stage 2 mapping upgrade.

HOW DO WE ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH STAGE 1?

• THROTTLE RESTRICTION / TORQUE / GEAR LIMITATIONS - Giving you the ability to utilize 100% of the throttle is paramount in track situations where you need all the power you can get on demand. The factory file has "dead spots" that may cause the M1000XR to behave in an unpredictable manner when corner exiting. This also means any kind of straight line acceleration also suffers. 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 2023 its very difficult to do this. Only BT Moto has figured out how to "fully" de-restrict the 2023, through torque limits to achieve max power and 100%.  The competition still is getting limited. With the torque limiter in place the bike is slower than 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 2023 M1000XR 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.
• FUELING - The 2023 BMW M1000XR fueling is rich for worldwide environment (desert) and longevity purposes but 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 M1000XR 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 exhaust system. However, fuel can be trimmed for better result as it targets real time fuel corrections.
• 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.
