The best new motorcycle on the market! US and European model 1000XR's have been restricted from the factory for the first time and need tuning for their most 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 then 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 mph 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
- A second off your 60-130! (see our acceleration testing video)
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 then 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.

Dyno Testing
Stock 2024 BMW M1000XR vs BT Moto Stage 1 (5th Gear)
Peak gains of 11WHP with a good kick in torque is great but that's not the whole story here. Up top, the stock tuning hits a massive flat spot that noticeably holds the bike. The difference up top is over 20WHP. In the midrange there's an 8WHP gain as well. For 2023 the midrange restriction is new and we also see this on the 2023 S1000RR. Fueling has also been resolved with our full time closed loop tuning feature.
- RED = STOCK, PUMP GAS - 180WHP / 87WTQ
- BLUE = STAGE 1, PUMP GAS - 191WHP / 88WTQ
Stock 2023 BMW M1000XR vs BT Moto Stage 1 (2nd Gear)
The dreaded second gear flat spot still comes with the 2024 M1000XR. Our Stage 1 flash gains OVER 50WHP in the midrange! Anyone that has ridden this bike stock knows how horrible the bike feels in this range. Our flashing fixes this and adds power throughout the entire RPM range. Gears 2-5 have restrictions with the 2024 M1000XR. Our flashing removes these restrictions and smooths entire RPM band, making the bike more consistent and more predictable.
- RED = STOCK, PUMP GAS - 173WHP / 83WTQ
- BLUE = STAGE 1, PUMP GAS - 184WHP / 87WTQ
BMW "TORQUE OPTIMIZATION" VS BT MOTO TUNED (2ND GEAR)
(COMPLETELY STOCK BIKE)
This was done in 2nd gear to show power differences and restrictions still on the bike after BMW applies the "torque optimization" map. While you do gain about 11whp in the midrange where the bike really needs help, you also lose A LOT of power up top. That's the tradeoff with the BMW torque map.
- RED = TUNED second gear with 91 Pump Gas - 193whp / 83wtq
- BLUE = STOCK second gear with 91 Pump Gas - 170whp / 83wtq
BMW "TORQUE OPTIMIZATION" VS BT MOTO TUNED (5TH GEAR)
(COMPLETELY STOCK BIKE)
This was done in 5th gear to show power differences and restrictions still on the bike after BMW applies the "torque optimization" map. The midrange in 5th suffers no restrictions that we can find. Even shows one more wheel torque (run to run variance). Just like second gear, to give you that power back in the midrange, they have to take away from the top end, pulling more than 30whp (at redline) away from the bike.
- RED = STOCK fifth gear with 91 Pump Gas - 177whp / 88wtq
- BLUE = TUNED fifth gear with 91 Pump Gas - 200whp / 87wtq
