BMW R1250GS BT-MOTO STAGE 1 UPGRADE: Unleashing the True Power!

[@47MTCLLC]

Great video and very thorough test and evaluation! I always wanted to get the BT MOTO tune for my K1600B when I had it but never did unfortunately. But I am glad you got it for Air Wolf :)

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Thanks brotha. 🤙

[@destinosobreroodas]

Hello fly, it's my first video I've seen and I'm already impressed. I'm looking for an R1250GS ADV and I was interested in finding out more about this upgrade, I find it very practical doing everything in our garage. I'll be tuning in to your videos from here in Portugal. Thank you for the shared knowledge.

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Hello and thank you for watching! The R 1250GS is an amazing bike!

[@painsrides]

I recently installed the newly released BT Moto Stage1 flash for 18+ Goldwings... The tune has made a made a major improvement for the Wing's performance. Pretty much all of what you said the tune did for your GS, it did for my Wing. 👍

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Wow. Thats great to hear. Thx for sharing 🤙

[@bobjohnson2920]

Have BT Stage 2 in my 2020 S1000RR M, big gains is an understatement. Now looking to do the same for my new 2023 1250GSA. Not really looking to make it faster because if I want to go fast I just jump on the RR. But the cold start issue on the GSA is not acceptable for a $34K bike. Do you know what's causing this cold start stall? Guessing it's not getting enough fuel. That shouldn't be a problem, especially in AZ. And it's a closed loop O2 system WTF..Awesome video, good quality and the Drone topped it off!

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Thx for watching 🤙

[@coryfisher6943]

Dang man you paid $35k for the GSA? Was it fully kitted out? I just bought a brand new 2024 R1250 GSA fully loaded besides saddle bags and top case for $25k. Where did your extra 10k come from?

Does this stage one upgrade void the factory warranty?

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Yes.

[@davidrobinson3453]

I think anything not done by the dealers would void warranty.... I did here that even putting lights on dose ..... there are few videos up of indicators voiding warranty... even though the dealers sels the same stuff ... its all got to be done by bmw to keep it in warranty

Can you pull now wheelie with clutch? After last dealer software update when pressing clutch full throttle rpm was limited to ~6k or less depending on gear and speed. Making it impossible to lift front wheel. As well as some parts of power band feels a bit flat now. Made bike not fun any more 😢

So no before and after dyno, no catless headers and no evidence of any performance improvements? I'm always looking for performance gains but from what i have seen, the most you'll get is 7 bhp and a little more torque by installing a catless exhaust and muffler at about £2.500. Would anyone notice the improvement over the the loss of weight in their wallet?

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

I certainly notice the improvement, no dyno needed

[@HDVIBE]

Airwolf now in beast mode. Sounds awesome. Ride safe and enjoy. ✌️👍👊

I have the same bike minus the upgraded exhaust. My bike hasn’t demonstrated the same mannerisms you noted. I’m pretty sure that I’d never “flash” it to improve it’s current level of function.

From what I understand there has been an increase in the rpm limit, it will not be accepted in lubrication as there will be more cylinder friction. Will it have to change the time between maintenance or oil quality?

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

I change the oil every three thousand miles either way but no time needed between changes according to the website. I just changed the oil and use synthetic, my video will be out shortly on what I use 🤙

[@marcusisacson]

Im very curious what you describe about the idle issue you describe because I have had two R1200 GS here in EU (Sweden) and one thing that I immediately noticed with them compared to all my previous bikes, was that when I cold start my GS it just starts without making a high rev idle for maybe 30 seconds. It just starts and stays at the same low rpm at once (like a car engine) and that's something I love! I'm thinking it maybe is an adaptation to the US market and regulations? I see you are in New Jersey and we have quite strict emmision regulations in the EU, on the other hand I know for example California has one of the most strict car emission regulations in the world.... At the same time I wonder why other bikes seem to do that annoying high rev idle - is it maybe to get the engine warm faster? On the other hand it shouldn't begood for the engine to rev 2000 rpm when cold to get warm - it's kind of a contradiction 🤔🙄🫣

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Excellent points you make. I will say that after the BT moto tune, it took away the high rev at start.

[@ronaldbrenner6821]

What is the increase in HP ...great video

Is bt-motor eliminated the function of exhaust valve?🤔🤔🤔

No idea. Good question

[@je328is]

Yes I have this tune on my 2020 R1250R and BT told me the tune keeps the exhaust valve open at all times which is a big reason it sounds so much better!

[@TRONATHON888]

How is this a stage 1 tune when you have an ACROPOVIC Muffler???? I thought stage 2 meant youve upgraded the muffler?

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

Stage 2 is a different tine from by moto and if you upgrade to a full system, not just muffler

[@martyllanos73]

What happens when the dealer reflashes the ECU?

[@FLYANDRIDE15]

I believe you can undo before you take it and then reflash after but would have to check with bt moto.

[@blueshurler]

My dealer has a disclaimer on their service forms that they're not responsible for custom tunes. So if they update the software, it would be to latest factory specs, and then you'd have to reinstall your custom flash. Also, if something goes wrong, and they can trace it to the custom tune, no warranty...
