Flashing a new map directly can lock up the ECU as BMW have learned a lot from what people do and are observant on the electronics side now. If you don't have a tuning shop in your ares, then use the Brenning DIY flash which lets you load their proven off-the-shelf maps at home?Ĭlick to expand.What Rexxer told me (this applies to ecu reflashing, not piggy back units that muck with the injector signals) was that this Bosch ECU cannot be re-flashed by a new map unless a tuner extracts the old map, to modify it. If you are happy with your engine, then certainly don't add a BP or the like. I'd like the Brenning Tuning flash with the DIY cable simply to get richer AFR's, but would be a waste as I don't want the tune's added power that comes with it. In stock form on the both my R1200GSA and the 9T I found that the headers made a significant improvement. I have done re-maps on cars and it is a PIA especially when the dealer wipes out the re-map with a software update Simple hardware changes such as headers are far easier. I can't ever see myself needing or wanting to do a re-map. If you look at the GS forums, headers are one of the best performance mods to be done on the R1200 engine. As others have said in the Remus header thread, headers will give you better acceleration, response and torque right through the rev range. The throttles balanced which took all the vibration out during acceleration.Ĭlick to expand.Understood. A little boost in acceleration would be my only interest. I'm canyon riding, not commuting on the freeway with this bike. I'm not riding around at redline or riding the bike much over 75-80 mph. HP or TQ that comes on at 7k is useless to me just like adding top speed. So that means at least 7-10 lbs in an rpm range I can use, like 3-5k. Meanwhile, I really have no complaints how my bike is running. I'm not going to just start swapping out parts. The problem I have is that I don't know of a performance BMW shop in Los Angeles. If the bike is too rich, throttle response can be slower due to loadup, the bike will gallop at slow speeds, and or sputter or stammer when cold or at low rpms. I'm not getting or at least feeling any flat spots, the bike is not running hot, no pinging, exhaust popping, or really any signs the bike is too lean. I have no doubt the bike is on the lean side, they leave the factory lean as we all know, but it's a question of how lean or too lean.
