    BT Moto ECU Flash Group Buy and Discount!

    If you can sideload windows through bootcamp you’re good. I think it’s only for Intel Macs tho. Otherwise, maybe a pawn shop or Craigslist for whatever working POS PC you can nab for cheap? You’ll need to be able to upload and download tunes to the unit anytime your bike is updated. If you...

    For those who have a heated Corbin seat question.

    curious - do you have two physical switches on the seat? I bought mine second-hand from a guy here, so not sure its age. Wondering if maybe they changed design at some point.

    For those who have a heated Corbin seat question.

    Hmm. My experience with my heated Corbin is different. Still requires I dig through the menu to turn on the driver heat. If I flip the physical switch on the seat, I’ll see the icon for the passenger heat on my screen. Have you contacted Corbin about the fault? I’d assume the flashing means...

    BT Moto ECU Flash Group Buy and Discount!

    I did the same as you - flashed it in the middle of winter and had to wait. Actually wished I would have done a back-to-back for the first go to really get a feel for the difference.

    Handlebar removal ?

    Might consider powder coating. Two of my buddies have black anodized parts that are now bronze due to sun exposure.

    C’mon BMW! Let’s get these parts stateside already!

    Got mine Black Friday 2023. Y’all buying now are getting a better deal than I did, for sure.

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Unless you’re parked in the elements and/or ride in wet conditions, I’m not sure there’s more than a marginal risk of problem. However, I did get mine disconnected solely to collect the $1000 accessory credit. And now the bike sits in the shop for something else. Hoping timing works out and they...

    A deal sounds a lot cooler before it’s time to spend the money.

    BT Moto ECU Flash Group Buy and Discount!

    You either need to be able to boot windows on a Mac or you need a PC. It needs windows one way or the other - I’m not sure there’s any way around it.

    BT Moto ECU Flash Group Buy and Discount!

    Dang! Y’all got in on a nice price. I got mine at Black Friday 2023 for a bit of a deal, but $200 off is great!

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Yeah, that’s the fix. Whole new headlamp unit along with some new bushings. I hope this reverse is the end of the recall drama.

    This would be seriously awesome. Harley’s whole thing is to build bikes that need upgrades, it seems. So there’s a whole market second to the actual bike that Harley makes a killing on. They move huge numbers. BMW doesn’t, at least not of the R18. There’s not enough market. Even here, I wonder...

    Brentune

    As the other responder said, they don’t delete it. They flash a new factory tune. If you reflashed the stock tune before going in, they have no clue anything was done. If you didn’t, they probably still don’t have a clue, but it gets overridden. If you happened to leave the tune on when you...

    You and me both, bud. BT tells you to replace the OG tune anytime you go into the shop as you can get "locked out" if the shop overwrites the tune with a factory update. I expected to be able to reload the BT without issue. However, in my experience, I did reload the OG tune before going in...

    Brentune

    Yeah, I was bummed when I got my bike back from the headlight recall and realized I was gonna have to cough up $200 if I wanted my tune back. If you get on that thread for the group buy, you’ll save a bit, but I could understand not wanting to dive in. The process isn’t terrible, really. The...

    Recall? On all models with Reverse

    Just talked to the shop manager in Michigan and was told he hadn’t seen a bulletin come through yet. I’m hopeful that with other places having notices trickle in that it won’t be too long here.

    The map mod is specific to the stock map your bike is running. So they take that map and tweak it. A bit of forewarning here - if you get dealer work done and they happen to update your ECU, BT will charge you $200 to mod to the updated map the dealer loaded. The previous mod will not load...

    On my B, it's under the left side panel. Once you get the unit (if you do), you plug it in to the bike and follow BT's instructions to pull the stock map. You'll set up an account with BT and then upload that map. They'll mod that map and let you know when it's ready to download to the BT...

    I feel like what you’re looking for here is what the Brentune will get you. Little quicker on the throttle, strong response, and it just feels like rock mode really rocks.
