After the IDM Superbike event at the Nürburgring had to be cancelled due to the flood disaster in the region, we are back in the IDM this weekend.

Together with the IDM Superbike 1000 teams BCC-Racing, (from Schleiz with Markus Reiterberger #28) and Neumann Racing (Marc Neumann #36) Robert is back as data engineer. In addition, over half of the BMW participants in the Pro SuperstockCup and a team in the IDM Sidecar drive our electronics. So, as always, a lot of work.

"The F900R is perfect in itself. Not perfect for me, so I missed from the beginning a certain emotion ... So it was certain what the tuning on the test bench and adjustment of the ECU should improve everything. Reduce idle speed after start, optimize automatic gearshift - shift times - up and down - function, improved driving in the range up to 3,000rpm. - Smoother, More elasticity and revving pleasure - higher max. revs, A little more sound.

About the procedure in general: After making an appointment, the two brothers are super friendly and go into all the details, the bike parked at RS2E ... Again, we were received friendly by the brothers. It was explained again what was done, in addition, there were the diagrams of the test bench, which were also explained. Just looking at the diagrams it was clear to see that something has changed. Here we are not talking about tens of horsepower, but rather the torque and power curve, responsiveness and drivability.

First impression: Then the first aha effect when starting the machine. Starting speed calm 1.200U/min. The increased idle speed after the start was gone, brilliant! So we started the ride home. The weather was ideal, dry roads and pleasantly warm. Out of town we came to a very nice winding country road, the ideal terrain for the F900R. And then there it was, pure emotion! The F900R reacts immediately to every movement on the tap, and from 4,500rpm it really goes...up to 10,000rpm.

Conclusion: Clearly better driving to 3,500U/min. From 3.500U/min. comes again correctly thrust, which increases from 4.500 - 5.000U/min. again correctly. The front wheel wants constantly with turn at the throttle from the ground. The next gear is inside, no matter if up or down. Oha, so that's how an automatic gearshift works. Then still the beautiful grumble at throttle removal. More and more often I catch myself trying to upshift . . . but I'm already in 6th...which now feels like 5th before the adjustment. The pressure is on.

Yes, you hear it often, I too can only describe it as "a completely different bike". . . . "Sheer driving pleasure" to describe it in the words of BMW."

Many thanks to Hugo for the following report, congratulations and good luck for the future.

… The week after was the BMW Dunlop Cup at Jerez and it went pretty well. I did the free practise with a used KR-3 (1,54), put a used KR-0 (1:53) for the superpole and a new KR-0 (dropped the TC -1) for the race and did my best lap (1:51) which results in P8. The bike was always good and smoth to ride and I was very pleased with her! Thank you. Everyone was crazy about my top speed. … and everyone ask me if I have a WSBK engine.

Next was third race here at Estoril, a place I know well. My best lap last here was a 1:48,7 and in this race I managed to do a 1:46,531. I finished 2nd Overall and 1st in Superbikes. I ran a new KR-2 for the race. … I also had the fastest time in the straight with 303 kph.

I know I should trust more and pin the throttle once I hear the engine cutting but I still manage the throttle. But I am happy, confident and faster than ever.

At Estoril I also did two perfect starts to P1 on the first corner.  (I started P4)

I was recently able to test the bike [with Race Mapping V2021 R + customer-specific adjustments] extensivelyat the Slovakia and Pannoniaring and am simply speechless. No comparison to before with the Powercommander, at all the original shift assistant with the shortened shift times is madness! Rides like a new motorcycle. I am extremely satisfied!

PS: The sound of the assisted gearshift is amazing!

Philipp L., Austria, BMW S1000RR 2012

We had a nice ride yesterday. Am very happy with the Power Mapping S V2021, I go on the bike with an even bigger smile now.
After the start now nice and smooth revs! Throttle response much nicer, responds better, even from low revs in 6th gear.
Then the downshift at low revs ... short intermediate throttle and you are already in the next gear, great! Big difference to the original, was difficult before.
Exhaust sound is now also very nice, especially in Dynamic PRO nice bram bram!
And now the front wheel also goes up in Dynamic when accelerating fast.
Am very happy with it, good job done!
