Together with David Datzer #55 we are for the first time in the Northwest 200, the famous road race in Northern Ireland similar to the Isle of Man TT. After a stressful pre-season preparation the two brand new BMWs - a S1000RR 2023 and a M1000RR 2023 - became ready for race almost at the last minute. Robert is on site to optimize the tuning of electronics and chassis for Datzii with the help of our data recording. After the qualifying sessions Datzii could drive himself as the best newcomer in both classes into the first starting group - Superstock P17, Superbike P16. An optimal starting point for four hopefully even more successful races. With P11 and P7 in the first two races, Datzii was able to prove his ability, but unfortunately a repeat was denied him due to a double technical defect.
Placements Superstock: R1 = P11 | R2 = DNF
Placements Superbike: R1 = P7 | R2 = DNF
A very special feedback about the current BMW S1000R from 2022 (K63) and our power mapping with acoustic package has reached us and we are happy to share it here.
Package unpacked, ECU reinstalled, start button pressed -> bike dead....PANIK; battery check -> battery dead; battery charged, ignition on -> it's alive! Carried out the steps on the package insert -> start of the test drive
Driving mode "Rain", first creep drive and bring everything up to temperature. FSK18 (driving mode "Dynamic Pro), 2nd gear local exit -> throttle, wormhole -> 4th gear, a look at the speedometer raises many questions: 1. how could I get so fast? 2. what did the guys do with the quickshifter? Not even a DSG gearbox shifts so smoothly! 3. did I just cry with joy?
... Guys, I really don't know in which ... fever dream you have had the ideas for this. I test drove the Ducati Streetfighter last year, which just seems like a 125cc in comparsion. What you have thought up in your contemplative workshop and above all implemented is really really sick sh**. With such an improvement in the overall driving characteristics I have not even begun to expect. MANY MANY MANY THANKS!!!
Jan R., Germany, BMW S1000R 2022
Since January, we are intensively engaged in the development work for the revised M/S1000RR models from 2023. After a lot of work on the in-house test bench, we have already been able to successfully complete 2 racetrack tests meanwhile. We can already offer numerous services such as the disabling of error messages / service messages, the enabling of the daytime running lights or our short throttle solution without restriction. In addition, we already offer a programming of the engine control unit with which the resulting error messages are disabled when converting to racing motorcycle (exhaust and intake valve actuators, rear O2 sensors, secondary air valve, tank ventilation ...). For all those waiting for our Power Mapping or Race Mapping PRO we offer a waiting list.
Many thanks to Marc Neumann #36 for his support (click on the picture to start a short video sequence from Misano)!
We were very pleased to receive the following feedback on our Shift Assist PRO retrofit kit for the BMW R1200 models - thanks again Alexander for allowing us to publish it here.
"Just came out of the garage. I am thrilled throughout! The installation was easily doable. Your video is excellently done. All the parts fit perfectly. The cable from the bottom with the "little box" is a little long. Made a loop and secured the box with a cable tie. Small test drive in the quarters: compared to the BMW Schaltassi of a R 1250 GS year 2022 at least at low speed clearly smoother. On a longer drive, it became apparent that your shift assistant enables smooth gear changes in almost all situations. Already high praise to you: A product that in every respect from the nice advice to the function simply has no weak points. Thank you! Is nowadays rather rare."

The Daytona 200 has been a source of excitement for many motorsport fans for decades. This year we were also able to support a project for the first time. With a newly built R nineT 2022 Nate Kern started in the SHNC (Super Hoolligan National Class) and could even reach P3.
We developed a special racing mapping for Nate and his R nineT based on our Dynamic Mapping and added our Shift Assistant PRO conversion kit. As the icing on the cake, we have also integrated the DTC +/- adjustment via handlebar switches (see picture).
Congratulations to Nate and the entire team for this great achievement and we look forward to the planned further development this season!

Who has ever been annoyed that he had to fetch the sports gauge again at the pit exit or at the pre-start after ignition off?
We now offer our programming of remember last screen for BMW TFT.
It is always a pleasure to work with all the R nineT fans in the world. The wishes and feedback of our R nineT customers have driven us to improve our Power Mapping as well as our Dynamic Mapping in the exhaust burbe function and the engine brake again.
To match this, here is feedback from a long-time customer - thank you Franz-Josef:
"I never actually write reviews, but after ... two events (Bilster Berg and Nürburgring GP) with a totally new bike I really want to share my enthusiasm for your work. At the beginning of the project was a R ninet Racer, which after a year on the track in original version, wanted to emulate the original Boxercup machines. It started with the consultation with you, which was not only professional and sensitive to the way of life of a boxer, but also extremely sympathetic to the driver. I ordered yes then the Power Mapping 2022 "R" for BMW R nineT models, the Shift Assistant retrofit kit with the RS2E shift sensor V2 and the disabling of the lamp faults.
The optimization of torque and power is noticeable, but as announced by you, with the boxer certainly limited. But with the wider speed range through the soft limiter, which works terrifically, it helps me immensely when I have the tachometer times not exactly in the eye or before the corner then no longer want to shift. As promised, braking has become smoother with the reduced engine braking due to the elimination of the overrun cutoff. But the best thing about the braking maneuvers now is the acoustics of the Boxer - simply awesome. Sorry, but I can't get enough of it and I'm already looking forward to the next corner, when the throttle grip then goes in the direction of close. The shift assistant didn't work immediately after the conversion at first. After good support we were able to solve the problem and it is a dream how the boxer now shifts through. Just leave the throttle on stop and the boxer pulls through with a great sound when shifting. Too bad you can't see my grin when I do this. Simply a super job from you, well done."

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."
