The Barber Vintage Festival in Birmingham (AL), USA, took place again at the beginning of October and was also part of the BMW Motorrad Days in the USA. On one of the most beautiful race tracks in an impressive atmosphere, Nate Kern was once again able to prove his racing class. On what is probably the world's fastest BMW R nineT with individual electronics based on our Dynamic Mapping, Nate was able to win 4 out of 5 races. Unfortunately, we were unable to be there in person this time - but we were still thrilled and congratulate him from the bottom of our hearts on this success!
BMW S1000 engines with our electronic services are not only on the road on 2 wheels, but also on 3 wheels. Mike Roscher and Anna Burkhard have been relying on an S1000RR engine in their sidecar for many years, which was also adapted to the needs of this sport with our support. This year, they were once again able to impressively prove that they are far from being "old hands", even after some health scares. They won the Sidecar Trophy 2024 with 3 out of 3 victories at the beginning of October.
We congratulate them wholeheartedly and hope that they will continue to thrill sidecar fans in 2025.
Today this news teaser takes us to Asia. More specifically to Korea, where we support Adam with his BMW M1000R to celebrate victories within the "All Korea Road Race Championship (AKRC)." Here is his feedback:
Racing in Korea has had its challenges finding a tuner that knows BMW motorcycles. Fortunately, Rs2e has been able to provide a solution that works for the track. Rs2e has been a pleasure to work with to tune my M1000R into a great track weapon. C variant of Race Mapping PRO with split throttle not only performs over stock and the exhaust sound is the icing on the cake. It now is a flame throwing beast. In past I’ve tried remote tuners, and the experience is a cookie cutter, 1 tune for all riders. No options to suit riders’ needs. Track, street and daily rider is all the same tune. Rs2e was able to provide me with remote coding to modify my bike for options for fuel level, fault codes and DDC removal, it’s been a great experience and giving me bike that has won AKRC Super N race. The after service and feedback from uploading my 2d data recordings has been a step above.
Thank you Adam for this great feedback! We look forward to continuing our collaboration and wish you much success for the 2025 season!
The International Road Racing Championship (IRRC) title 2024 goes to David Datzer with his BMW M1000RR 2024! Our Bavarian neighbor has been one of the favorites for the title for many years and has been supported by us since 2015. By no means a one-way street, Datzii has often encouraged us with his feedback to make our Race Mapping PRO even better. David has already had his hand on the title several times and we are delighted with him that it finally worked out after the two races at the Frohburger Dreieck. The following riders were also successful with RS2E electronics:
Driver | Race 11 | Race 12 |
| David Datzer | P1 | P6 |
| Luca Gottardi | P5 | P4 |
| Markus Karlsson | P6 | P14 |
| Johannes Schwimmbeck | P7 | P9 |
| Christoph Kreller | P16 | DNS |
| Dirk Walter | P23 | P17 |
| Didier Grams | DNS | DNS |
Congratulations again to David Datzer #55 for the IRRC title 2024! Also to all other riders for their sporting success - we are already looking forward to next season.
@Didier Grams: continued speedy and, above all, full recovery!
After 10 races, David Datzer will start the last two races of the IRRC season with his BMW M1000RR 2024 as championship leader and title favorite. He impressively demonstrated his title ambitions last weekend with a double victory + new lap record in Horice, Czech Republic. Datziii is already using the development version of the Race Mapping PRO V2025, which he commented on as follows: "It worked great with the electronics - absolutely awesome! I felt very comfortable and confident after just a few settings". The following other drivers were also successful with RS2E electronics:
Rider | Race 9 | Race 10 |
| David Datzer | P1 | P1 |
| Didier Grams | P4 | P4 |
| Johannes Schwimmbeck | P6 | P5 |

We congratulate everyone on their sporting performance and look forward to the season finale in Frohburg (DE), 14.09 - 15.09 2024.
PS: here is an onboard video for all those who want to experience road racing from a driver's perspective.
The new M1000XR (KM9) has been delivered to customers since around April. Technically, it largely corresponds to the M1000R and so we immediately set about transferring the existing development knowledge and implementing extensive tests with the XR - with success! For a few weeks now, we have also published our Race Mapping PRO, our Power Mapping PRO, as well as short throttle and other services for this bike. The dyno diagram is more impressive than on the sister models due to the stock restrictions. Here is some feedback from the customer test - thank you Axel!
Very ingenious, very ingenious! ... The engine itself, the response behavior, the torque curve, the throttle response - you've got a really broad spectrum. If the throttle response is set to "direct", then I personally find it too sharp for road traffic or country roads, and if it's smooth, then it's almost too soft, so you've hit everything, it fits very, very well. I'm now on medium/optimal. My buddy has the M1000R, we did the test beforehand: 3rd gear side by side, then pull up at 80km/h, he actually pulled away from me a bit. Of course, the MR is lighter and he is also lighter than me - total weight difference including rider approx. 30kg. The other day, now after programming, same game: I'm pulling away now! Up to about 250km/h, further up it comes back because the aerodynamics of the XR are of course worse. It rides really well. Very homogeneous to ride, no more jerking. Also in terms of sound, I can only recommend it with the flaps open as soon as a gear is engaged - it fits. Although the racing management is relatively sharp here - nobody complains [with a sensible driving style]. The automatic gearshift has improved noticeably. I didn't think you'd have to reprogram it, but it's actually improved again. It's a lot of fun :-)
Axel S., Germany, BMW M1000XR 2024
Robert has been competing in amateur championships with our Race Mapping PRO on his BMW S1000RR 2020 since 2021. Last year he won the championship title in the WSB Stock 1000 Championship and this year the signs are clearly pointing to defending the title. We would like to take this opportunity to congratulate him once again on the 2023 title, keep our fingers crossed that the 2024 title will work out and say thank you for all the good feedback we have received over the years.
"The challenge I took on at the beginning of the season was to try out the WSB – Sport Stock 1000 Cup. I decided to race my k67 as close to the original model as possible - only changes to the braking system (NO ABS), racing fairings and exhaust system. DME was of course flashed by RS2E! After spending a few days testing on the track before the season, I found the basic electronics configuration that I like best. Only a few minimal adjustments were made throughout the season... the whole bike gave me confidence and felt very smooth in almost all racing situations. I really enjoyed all 12 races, achieved 11 podiums and 7 wins. I set some lap times that I thought were impossible with almost original bike and road-legal tires. My racing opponents didn't make my life any easier, but the package I had was TOP. I just want to say THANK YOU! For all the passion and professional work you offer your customers!"
Robert D., Germany/Hungary, BMW S1000RR 2020
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
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."
