BT Moto Stage1 ECU flash for 2018+ Honda Goldwings -Ride impressions, Unboxing and Set up

[@jameshales6958]

Good Morning, I installed the BT-Moto tune modification to my 2023 Tour DCT two weeks ago and it's like riding a different motorcycle. I am very impressed with the bike's new performance and like you, TOUR mode is very satisfying for normal riding. SPORT mode is now asinine 😁. All the Best.

[@painsrides]

@@jameshales6958 Yes sir... That sport mode will get you in trouble 😎

[@jameshales6958]

@@painsrides BIG TIME!

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Glad that you and tech support were able to overcome that hiccup. My biggest fear when flashing an ECU, is that it corrupts and you’re then screwed. Glad the flash gave it a lot more punch 👍

[@painsrides]

BT Moto(aka Bren Tuning) is one of the best in the business, I had faith in them. Plus the stock ECU setting are copied and save before any changes are made. So there's always a back up. There's also fail safes, when the fault happened on the 1st write attempt the bike was still fully operational.

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

@@painsrides that’s awesome.

[@alp3781]

As long as you are happy, its priceless. I don't see the need to do it on a DCT with a Sport Mode. Normal ride in Tour is 100% fine for me and I do like to get her going, believe me. This is not s Sport bike, its a touring bike. Enjoy the bike and safe ride.

[@painsrides]

I don't intend on keeping up with sport-bikes or anything like that. In fact, I'm primarily an off-road rider, this Wing gets used mostly for two up touring. What I want is my bikes' running optimally. My carb-ed bikes are opened up and rejetted and anything with fuel injection gets dyno or ECU tuning. More power, smoother throttle, cooler operation etc. are just the side benefits ;)

[@BigSmittyRiding]

Very good video! I like that they worked with you through your issue. Man, when the beta testing is done I may invest in this. Great job!

[@painsrides]

The tuning is a major improvement... I'm probably going to get it out tonight for a highway try out and pt2 video. Then it's into the shed for the dreaded air filter change...😶

[@BigSmittyRiding]

@@painsrides 😳 that air filter change looks like a total pain to do. I’ve seen a bunch of videos and I’m not sure I’m gonna tackle that myself…

[@painsrides]

@@BigSmittyRiding .. I had the dealership put on new tires when I bought the bike... They neglected to tighten the left axle pinch bolts, they fell out before I noticed...😐 I can't trust them with a job like this. I do my own maintenance and repair anyway, this will just be a pain in the ass job.

[@richthereturnrider6737]

Absolutely awesome review. I think this is great. Finally options for the wing. People don’t understand the benefits of a optimal and efficient running engine. Will order after my fuel pump replacement. Thanks dude.

[@painsrides]

Thx.. I just got the notice that the fuel pump is available. I hope the dealer doesn't have to touch the ECU for the new pump, so I don't have to "re-flash" to the BT Moto tune after the recall is done.

[@woodypaq]

I just had my fuel pump recall done last week and ordered this tune yesterday. YOLO is certainly in effect as I'm a pretty conservative rider, but I've seldom ever done anything in the optimal performance realm, so I believe I'm due for this. Happy and safe riding.

[@painsrides]

@@woodypaq So why waste your money?

[@woodypaq]

@@painsrides YOLO.

[@stevetimleck]

Thanks for sharing! I'm up in Toronto, Canada and I can't wait to get this

[@painsrides]

I can't wait for you to get it 🤣.... It makes good ..great

[@richardweiss1222]

Look forward to someone with a DCT's assessment

[@painsrides]

I'm sure there will be more videos with this BT tune for the GW coming out soon enough

[@chrisc6874]

Thanks for posting. Saw this on the forum. Just ordered mine

[@painsrides]

Still only 39-40 degrees but I had to get out this morning and ride ... I stayed in Tour and just ripped around some back roads, the more I ride it, the more I realize how good this BT is. I did install a K&N air filter, Traxxion tie-rod and suspension de-couplers..these just add to the ride-ability. 😎Its going to be a good season....

[@xmasborn59]

Put the tune on last week it's great!

[@painsrides]

Told ya... 🤣 Did you buy the beta or finalized version?

[@xmasborn59]

Yes I did!

[@xmasborn59]

Final!

[@themystx2]

I remember you from the N54 BMW days, looks like you did a great job with this platform, that speed limiter is the main reason I held off on buying a Goldwing; I do have a question though. Does your flash require 91/93 octane?

[@painsrides]

No, it rips on 87. Putting higher octane in these low(er) compression engines is a waste of money. For what its worth, I'm running the final version of the tune now(in this video I had a beta rev.) and its really good... The response, power delivery and rideability of the Wing all are improved...Yes, the top speed limiter is gone 😎

[@jftuvell]

I just went through the process and before you send your stock tune info to BT you fill out a form. One of the questions is, “what octane will you be using?” The choices are 87, 89, 91 or 93. There is also a note that they recommend 93. That makes me believe they tweak the tune for the fuel you will be running. In my area premium 91 octane (we can’t even get 93] is running about 75 cents more than 87. I chose to stay with 87. :)

[@painsrides]

@@jftuvell ... I've been running 87 and the bike is still doing great with the tune

[@jftuvell]

@@painsrides That’s great to hear!

[@nabira7475]

Hi, will this help to increase the GW Tour speed beyond 180km/hr ?

[@painsrides]

Yes, the BT Moto tune will remove the factory top speed limiter.

[@nabira7475]

@@painsrides thanks and please guide how do i purchase?

[@davidkosmatka-cms1532]

Nice video. I have a 2020 Tour DCT and am interested in the tune. How much did it cost?

[@painsrides]

Currently its $595 +tax...I believe it'll go up once its out of bata.

[@walthastingsRV-7A]

Can you use it on more than one bike?

[@motorider4130]

I just ordered the BT MOTO handheld flash for my 2018 Wing. I just had one question for you... did you have to include or send the ECU label information that you found behind the left side front top shelter? I was watching their videos and they do make a mention of it and show the location of the label but i was not really clear on whether or not that info is necessary or needed. Great vid thanks for sharing!

[@painsrides]

BT didn't ask for and I didn't give my ECU#. In fact, none of that ECU business was on the site when I purchased my flash.

[@PedersonFamilyAdventures]

Do you have a garmin or phone attached to your screen?

[@painsrides]

I run a phone mount, if I'm on a longer trip.

[@villejuntunen5851]

good stuff

[@chriscleland7008]

Easy to get back to stock for dealer visit?

[@painsrides]

Load up the stock tune file on the Flasher and repeat the write process. (as I understand it)

[@wingmanhoy3999]

Beautiful motorcycle, love mine but needs coils and wires, so I'm gonna have to wait a little while till on the road, all the very best health and happiness.

[@painsrides]

Sorry to hear yours is down....
