Successful start to the Roadracing and Pro Superstock Cup season

All over the world racers and teams show that in top amateur or semi-pro racing a bike based on series electronics is definitely competitive.

Roadracing: David Datzer #55 could prove this impressively with two P2 in the IRRC (International Road Racing Championship) opening race in Henglo and a sovereign victory at the "300 curves of Gustav Havel" in Horice. We also congratulate the numerous other Roodracing drivers who rely on our services for the successful start into the season and keep our fingers crossed for the next races.

Pro Superstock Cup: After 4 races and two second places Philipp Gengelbach #4 is currently on P2 of the overall standings. In a hotly contested top group in each race, Phillip was able to show thanks to a cool head and a flawlessly functioning bike that he is rightly one of the favorites for the title. Again, we congratulate Phillip and the other starters with RS2E electronics for the successful start to the season and keep our fingers crossed for the next races.

 

Customer feedback on the update to Race Mapping PRO V2022 "C"ompetition for S1000RR, K67

Again a feedback about Race Mapping PRO which motivates us to work on the improvement of our services also this year. Thank you very much Marek!

"I am again very satisfied with your work. Last week I was testing in Brno and achieved lap times of 2,06,4- 2,07,1 in very cold conditions. With the help of the fine throttle response, the bike behaves very smoothly even in cold conditions and poor grip and the rear wheel reacts perfectly. It now also works well with the Dunlop KR tire. The throttle is now much easier to dose and allows me to open throttle earlier on corner exit. The engine brake can be adjusted perfectly and when entering the corner the bike behaves great. I'm already looking forward to the next tests and the race at the Slovakiaring. Thank you for the absolutely perfect work."

Cooperation with stunt driver Dirk Manderbach

Stunt riders have very special requirements for their motorcycle! So the famous German stunt rider Dirk Manderbach has turned to us to have these requirements also implemented in his new bike. For us it was a new challenge and we are very happy that we could help Dirk. Here is the feedback from Dirk:

"In the past, we had the possibility with additional cables to regulate the stall gas, this is unfortunately no longer so easy with the modern bikes with Egas. In addition, the electronics also have various other functions that are not necessarily designed to quickly get on the rear wheel and stay there. So many stunts with the new F900R were simply impossible. So I was glad that someone gave me the tip that I should contact the guys at RS2E. After I tried to describe as precisely as possible where I have problems and what I need, the guys gave me back the bike after a good 2 weeks. After numerous tests I can say that it works great. I am very grateful that we came together and could find a solution so quickly."

Customer feedback on Power Mapping S V2021 for K1600

Once again, feedback on Power Mapping for the K1600 that we get to share. Thank you Karsten!

"A main focus was to achieve a significant improvement in the throttle response of my K 1600. The angle of rotation of the e-throttle was completely unusable for me, i.e. too large, so that it almost had to be regripped, which led to cramps in the right wrist and arm on long distances. Tuning in the sense of "performance increase" was not necessarily in the foreground, important was the improvement of the performance of the drive in terms of response, throttle response, throttle application from thrust mode to load, etc.. In addition, the known more than average quality of the original BMW - Schaltassi Pro in terms of real function should be optimized with all measures.

In my opinion, now after several hundred km all RS2E measures in ALL areas have brought an extremely satisfactory result!

  • Rotation angle E-throttle extremely crisp, as it should be, smallest paths on the handle = throttle 1:1
  • Throttle response, throttle application: better m.E. not feasible: in all speeds, load conditions, temperatures, km/h
  • Schaltassi-Pro: This is how this system must work! Almost always BUTTERWEICH, almost independent of revs and speed, simply sensational! Up as down! The driver is here in his sensitivity the criterion!

And one more thing to the end: for me one of the main factors of a reputation of a company is, how there with wishes / rework / criticism or even complaints is dealt. In plain language: my shift ace initially worked even worse than standard (no intermediate throttle when downshifting). After repeated processing and completion of this point, the described final result is to my complete satisfaction!"

Successful start into season 2022 for Nils Meiners in the BMW S1000RR Cup

At the beginning of April, the mission "title defense" in the German BMW S1000RR Cup andIBPM (International Bike Promotion Championship) started for Nils Meiners.

Feedback from Nils: "I must say the V2022 [Race Mapping] works really well. Almost no matter what situation, it caught the rear wheel cleanly and I was able to exit the corner with a slight slide. It also caught larger slides cleanly - I had real confidence. Unfortunately, we had to rebuild the front (incl. fork, dashboard, ...) after a training crash and I had to start the first race without testing. There I could get P2 despite some mistakes and win the further races. With a best time of 1:30.3 in very cool conditions I am also satisfied."

We congratulate to this success despite the unfortunate crash and keep our fingers crossed that it continues like this.

Videos zum Rijeka Test

As reported on 28.03.2022, we were testing at the end of March. Among other things, the following two videos were created, which we would like to share here. Have fun!

Left-hand throttle conversion

Together with Zweiradwerke Rosenheim we have implemented a very special project this winter and today handover to customer takes place.

To enable Christian to ride a brand new BMW S1000R with only one arm, we took care that the electronic throttle of the BMW also works on the left side of the handlebar.

We are happy that we could help to make Christian's dream come true and wish him a lot of riding pleasure!

– so we can plan the batch size for the first delivery and hopefully deliver before the start of the season.

Thank you for a great 2025!

With this news article, we would like to thank all interested readers of our homepage and subscribers to our newsletter! We look back with gratitude on a great year. A year with many more highlights than those that made it into a news article. We also neglected our public relations work somewhat so that we could be there for our customers 100%. The overwhelming amount of appreciation we receive in the form of positive feedback via email, Google, telephone, etc. is our motivation to keep going. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

This year, we were once again able to make a donation to the DRF Luftrettung and the Wings for Life Foundation.

The special thing behind the picture for this article: No - not the cookies on the GS! We retrofitted the original BMW seat heating to this BMW R1300GS in cooperation with Motorrad Pielmeier in Tiefenbach.

Merry Christmas, relaxing holidays and a healthy and successful 2026 season to all!
Robert and Rainer

Power Mapping PRO V2026 now available!

This year we are once again working intensively on further improving our mappings for the M/S1000 models. We are starting with our Power Mapping PRO with the following new features / improvements:

  • Now also available for M1000RR from 2025, S1000XR from 2024 and S1000R from 2025
  • Completely revised combustion tuning for smoother engine running at low engine speeds/loads (mainly affects R/XR models), further improved response and slightly improved maximum torque/performance in some cases.
  • Improved throttle response; especially wider spread between "soft" and "direct"
  • Further improved shift assistant for even smoother and more precise shifting with further reduced "false neutral" risk - only RR 2023+, XR 2024+, R 2025+
  • Improved power limitation for even smoother acceleration phases with as little wheelie control intervention as possible (can be switched off via riding mode / ENGINE setting) - RR, MXR, MR models only

And also a first feedback - thanks again to Marcel, Germany, S1000XR 2021 - update from v24 to v26 + short throttle:

"Package arrived yesterday, installed straight away, short throttle grip also screwed on. Everything worked out great [...] Rough conclusion after 50 km lap: no more jerking. I also rode in every gear and really made sure to ride constantly to feel any jerking, but it's simply no longer there. The torque is similar or the same as the old mapping [...]. Apart from that, the bike is much more agile, much more spontaneous thanks to the short-stroke throttle grip and simply rides better. More detailed conclusion after more riding time and with a direct comparison with my colleague who has the same model and the same year of manufacture (standard condition): So when you drive with the original mapping, you think someone is holding you down at the back. Because in contrast to the update, there is almost nothing at all at the bottom of the original! I've totally forgotten that again, the update has so much more power at the bottom and the short-stroke throttle grip makes the bike so aggressive and comes on immediately! In the original, you have to turn the throttle half a turn and then it moves forward so slowly. The bubbling is mega when you take the throttle off, [...] and the constant jerking is gone in every gear! No matter which gear, the bike runs so smoothly - top top top! [...] Shifting is also much smoother and easier below 4000 rpm, much easier than the original. And the cold start phase - the loud revving up is also history. I'm really happy with the update [...] and my colleague is thrilled too! He also thought he was riding a completely different model of the moped, so thank you very much for the mega great work."

Dynamic Mapping for R12 models now available!

In response to popular demand, we have now also looked at the R12 models. Based on the existing Dynamic Mapping for the R nineT predecessor models, we have worked intensively on the R12. In detailed development and testing work, we have put together the Dynamic Mapping for the BMW R12. Our changes can be summarized as follows:

  • More power and torque
  • Optimized throttle response and shift assistant
  • Power wheelie possible
  • More emotion, more sound, more driving pleasure!

And also the first feedback - thanks again to ...

... Andreas, Germany, R12 nineT 2024: "The result is simply impressive. Whether response, thrust acoust, optimized shift assistant or the shortened throttle grip. Everything is perfectly coordinated. The machine delivers confident performance at all times and in every situation and is simply great fun. 100% recommendation!

... Hans-Peter, Germany, R12 G/S 2025:"The shift assistant is perfect. The bumps in the middle speed range when shifting up have disappeared. The automatic shifts almost like a dual-clutch gearbox, so it's really very good. Throttle response in dynamic mode: The throttle response and acceleration are extremely dynamic. The motorcycle has a completely different characteristic and has become a sports machine. Emotions come up and the grin is under the helmet. Wheeliecontrol: ... The bike is nice and light at the front and takes off. In my opinion, the power is not reduced, just as we wanted it to be. Preheating the catalytic converter: The miserable revving when cold has thankfully disappeared. ... Conclusion: I handed in my R12 G/S as a tomcat and got it back as a lion. A synthetic driving experience became an emotional one. Perfect, keep it up and all the best.


Outlook for the R nineT models: we are planning to incorporate numerous findings from the R12 work. Requests for the waiting list or development partnership will be gladly accepted.

Feedback on the V2026 mappings for BMW F900 models

As usual, and already demanded, here are 2 selected feedbacks from the development / test phase of the Power Mapping for BMW F800 F900 models.


Giacomo, Italy, BMW F900GS 2025 with racing exhaust system

"... even though the asphalt is not the best at this time of year [March], it was great to ride. With the shortened throttle grip in combination with the improved response [eGas], it's fantastic. You often find yourself at the bottom end of the stroke, the engine pushes well with nice torque and power. Already in RAIN you can feel a big difference, before this mode was dead, in dynamics it's brutal, it blasts you away - how I like it! When you pull the gears, the engine revs up, revs up, never stops and the intervention of the limiter is not felt, it's just fantastic. The shift assist and the gearbox are fantastic, fluid and at the same time dry and fast with a shot in the arm both upshifting and downshifting. ... In short, I was already able to leave 600 and 1000cc supersport bikes behind me in the passes before and now it's even easier."


Paul, Germany, BMW F900XR 2020 with standard exhaust system, update from v2023 to v2026

"In short: I'm convinced that there's nothing more that can be done to improve the electronics. Shifting: Always perfect now! Throttle response in DYNAMIC (PRO) is now so nice and crisp, just how I wanted it. The higher torque at the bottom is more than noticeable. It's may be too aggressive for others (e.g. in city traffic), but then you can quickly switch to a softer throttle response by changing the riding mode - as I said, it works perfectly for me. The new fan control is also very pleasant, it no longer boils up so much when you have to wait at traffic lights."
