2017-2025 Suzuki GSX-R1000 / R Stage 1+ Mail-In Bench Flash

MAKE SURE TO REVIEW THE TABS ABOVE, DYNO RESULTS, RESOURCES AND MORE INFO!

BT Moto developed our Stage 1+ ECU Flash Tune for the 2017-2025 Suzuki GSX-R1000 through extensive dyno development, street testing, and high speed ram-air validation. This is not a tune developed only at 100% throttle on a stationary dyno.

We calibrate the motorcycle from idle through partial and full throttle, addressing the electronic throttle system, torque limits, fueling, ignition timing, per-gear restrictions, spark hole during/after VVT transition, temperature strategies, RPM limits, and overall rideability.

The result is a GSX-R1000 that is stronger throughout the RPM range, substantially more powerful on top, smoother at partial throttle, and more responsive during both street and track riding.

2017-2025 GSX-R1000 STAGE 1+ FEATURES

• Master torque limiter recalibrated to unlock additional engine performance
• Gear 1–6 ETV throttle restrictions removed or optimized across supported riding modes
• Mode A optimized for direct 1:1 throttle response and maximum performance
• Modes B and C can retain or use different throttle strategies for specific riding or racing applications
• Gear dependent ignition retard recalibrated in gears 1-6 for more consistent power delivery
• Ignition timing optimized individually by cylinder
• Ignition dwell optimized for high RPM performance
• Lambda target based fueling developed at partial and full throttle giving smoother transition between IAP and TPS based fueling regions and allowing the bike to not lean out in high gears like they are known to do. 
  
• SR-VVT transition optimized to reduce the torque dip through the changeover
• ETV maps optimized for smoother throttle response and improved quickshifter operation
• Raised RPM limiter to take advantage of the stronger upper RPM powerband
• Factory top speed limiter removed where applicable
• Cooling fan activation lowered to approximately 185°F for more consistent operating temperatures
• Calibration options available for pump gasoline and VP MR12

DYNO PROVEN PERFORMANCE

The BT Moto Stage 1+ calibration produces a dramatic improvement over the factory ECU, particularly in the upper RPM range.

STOCK

161.35 WHP / 77.89 WTQ
Peak power at approximately 11,130 RPM

BT MOTO STAGE 1+ - PUMP GAS

181.76 WHP / 80.83 WTQ
Peak power at approximately 14,150 RPM

That's approximately +20 WHP over stock at peak.

BT MOTO STAGE 1+ - VP MR12

191.55 WHP / 83.92 WTQ
Peak power at approximately 14,410 RPM

That's approximately +30 WHP over stock and nearly 10 additional WHP over the pump gas Stage 1+ calibration.

More importantly, the stock motorcycle reaches peak horsepower relatively early and then begins losing power, while the BT Moto calibrations continue building horsepower deep into the upper RPM range.

Near the top of the dyno run, the comparison is approximately:

Stock: 158 WHP

Stage 1+ Pump Gas: 181 WHP

Stage 1+ MR12: 191 WHP

Dyno results represent our development motorcycle and test configuration. Actual results can vary based on fuel, motorcycle configuration, modifications, environmental conditions, and individual motorcycle variation.

NOT JUST A FULL THROTTLE DYNO FLASH

A motorcycle is not ridden at 100% throttle all the time, so we don't develop our calibration that way.

BT Moto tunes the partial throttle and full throttle operating areas of the ECU to improve how the GSX-R1000 behaves during everyday riding as well as maximum acceleration.

Fueling, ignition, electronic throttle control, and torque delivery are optimized.

The result is smoother throttle transitions, stronger acceleration, improved response, and better overall rideability from normal street speeds through full throttle track use.

ETV, TORQUE AND PER-GEAR DERESTRICTION

The 2017+ GSX-R1000 uses sophisticated ride-by-wire engine management. Full throttle at the grip does not necessarily mean the ECU is commanding everything the engine is capable of producing.

The factory calibration manages performance through ETV throttle maps, torque limits, gear dependent ignition strategies, riding modes, and additional ECU tables.

BT Moto recalibrates these strategies together rather than simply modifying one throttle table.

Mode A can be configured for a direct 1:1 throttle relationship and maximum available performance, while other riding modes can retain different power delivery characteristics depending on the customer's intended use.

OPTIMIZED SR-VVT POWER DELIVERY

The GSX-R1000's variable valve timing system plays an important role in the transition from midrange torque to high RPM horsepower.

BT Moto optimizes the engine management strategies surrounding the SR-VVT changeover to reduce the torque dip through the transition and create a smoother, stronger power curve.

Combined with the ETV, torque, fueling, and ignition changes, this helps the engine pull consistently from the midrange through the extended upper RPM powerband.

OEM+ PERFORMANCE, DEVELOPED FOR THE COMPLETE MOTORCYCLE

Our goal with the 2017 GSX-R1000 was not simply to create the largest possible dyno number.

We wanted the motorcycle to be better everywhere.

That means better partial throttle fueling, smoother response, stronger midrange acceleration, substantially more top end power, improved temperature management, optimized riding mode behavior, and a wider usable powerband.

From riding through traffic to accelerating at full throttle on the track, the BT Moto Stage 1+ calibration is developed around how the motorcycle is actually used.

More power. Better response. Smoother rideability. Proper ram-air development. No full throttle only tuning shortcuts.

Don't be fooled by imitations with empty promises, see why everyone uses us:
