Since we are currently frequently asked about customer experiences with the Power Plus option, we are very pleased to have received the following feedback in 2021 and to be able to share it here.
"What can I say: honestly, I can't think of any words that could come close to expressing my enthusiasm for it. It's amazing how the bike is now and how it rides. A completely different motorcycle, so really not to recognize. I can only recommend to all - it is worth it effectively the conversion[Race Mapping + Option Power Plus+ retrofit shift assistant PRO] so zumachen. Simply a Top, Top, Top work from you again. Am more than satisfied and enthusiastic about you."
C. H., Switzerland, BMW S1000R 2014
Already last year we started to enable the TFT for automatic lap time display for some customers. To send the GPS finish line signal, however, a data rocording was necessary until now. Because many of our customers are only interested in the lap time and do not want to spend a lot of money for a data recording we looked for a partner for a GPS module. We are happy that the guys from Motorrad Unger have taken up this challenge and bring a corresponding GPS trigger module to the market. Currently the first modules are delivered and the homepage is also under construction. (Pre)orders are accepted at elektronik@motorrad-unger.de.
For all non RR riders: this works for all BMW models with TFT display.

As every year, we have been working for months on the further development of our services. We are pleased to present the results of our development work of the 2022 version now also for the R nineT from 2014-2020. In addition to various minor improvements, the following points are worth highlighting from our point of view:
More on our description page about Power Mapping for R nineT.
After we presented various conversion options for the BMW S1000R 2014-2020 (K47) and BMW S1000XR 2015-2019 (K49) at the turn of the year 2020/21, the corresponding services enjoyed great popularity. In particular, the conversion of the airbox to variable funnels (as on the S1000RR) and the associated increase in performance were frequently requested. Thus, after numerous enthusiastic feedbacks, we have decided to include the Option Power Plus service in our standard catalogue from 2022. In addition to the already known advantages of our Mappings, the programming for functunality of the velocity stacks servo and the required adapter cable including installation instructions will be added - just as a plus.
The Option Power Plus is available for the K47 / K49 and also for the K69 (BMW S1000XR 2020+). The K63 (BMW S1000R 2021+) is expected to follow soon.
As the first innovation of the 2022 season we release an improved version of our shift assistant PRO (Blipper) retrofit kit for the BMW S1000R. After we have developed and tested the entire 2021 season, we can now start with the sale. Technically, we were able to use a new shift sensor to further reduce the shifting forces when downshifting and now completely dispense with an adapter cable. In addition, we have succeeded in further improving the shifting quality through various improvements in the electronics.
Particularly pleasing for our customers: we were even able to reduce the price slightly despite the current strong inflation.
Also this year we say goodbye with a donation for the DRF Luftrettung, which we also presented on behalf of all of our customers.
We wish you a Merry Christmas, good health and a successful start into season 2021!

Congratulations to Didier Grams and his team on winning the 2021 International Road Racing Championship (IRRC) title. We are very pleased to have been able to help achieve this result with our electronics services. Furthermore we are already looking forward to next season, where we hopefully support Didier and his team again.
PS: The bike used was a BMW S1000RR 2020 with Race Mapping PRO V2021.
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!

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:
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."
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:
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.
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."
