(2026) Ducati V4R Stage 2 ECU Flash Upgrade
(2026) Ducati V4R Stage 2 ECU Flash Upgrade
The Ducati V4R engine is probably one of the most capable track platforms we have ever tested.
Description
2026+ DUCATI V4R
**STAGE 2 IS NOT STAND ALONE MAPPING. STAGE 1 PURCHASE IS REQUIRED FOR STAGE 2 PURCHASE**
(CLICK HERE TO SEE STAGE 1 DETAILS)
WHAT DOES STAGE 2 INCLUDE?
- Lower gear throttle torque limiters removed
- Deceleration fueling strategy adjusted
- Faster quickshifter
- 1:1 throttle response
- First gear RPM limiter changed
- Refined per-cylinder tuning
- Maximum throttle monitor threshold raised
- Knock control system revised
- Lower fan-on activation
Anyone that has the Akrapovic or Termi up-maps will say the bike feels a lot more lively than stock and our stage 1 even better than that. Beta testers and our own R&D reveal a noticeable improvement over our Stage 1 flash with our new and revised Stage 2 mapping.
HOW DOES THIS HELP YOUR DUCATI?
- Lower gear throttle torque limiters removed for full power and RPM without intervention of timing retard. Gears 1-2 in for V4 / V4R and 1-4.
- Deceleration fueling strategy adjusted to get rid of twitchy, notorious Ducati feel. The bike feels smoother overall and has the driveability of an inline 4-cylinder.
- Faster quickshifter from reduced "kill" times. The lag in shifting is gone and the bike really cracks into gears.
- 1:1 throttle response gives you a more lively experience riding the bike. Not only is OEM throttle lag reduced but power is also greater in tip-in throttle and light-to-light acceleration. A more precise throttle means better control in turns as well.
- First gear RPM limiter raised from the OEM RPM Limiter (per gear).
- Refined per-cylinder tuning for better AFR (air/fuel ratio) over the entire RPM band. Optimized for track use to be more aggressive than Stage 1.
- Maximum throttle monitor threshold raised from 83% to 100% in all modes. Higher torque threshold means more overall power and a more responsive feel.
- Knock control system revised to filter out engine noise or vibration. Only true knock is detected by the sensor.
- Lower fan-on activation helps keeps your engine cooler when at stops because we all know, this bike runs hot!
PLEASE NOTE
If currently running the Ducati Akra Mapping, we can add our tuning to it and you can still retain your advanced traction control features. The Slip-On and "Race" system allow for the function of the rear tail lights but the "Pro" system disables the rear brake lights and tail light. If you want to retain this functionality and still have use of your advanced traction control features, do not upgrade to the Ducati mapping and contact us VIA email for instructions.
Our mapping also allows for the function of your cruise control and turn-by-turn navigation to be retained after flashing. This is disabled with the Ducati mapping.

THE BT MOTO HANDHELD TUNER
BT MOTO HANDHELD PERFORMANCE TUNER AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING ONE?
Custom tuning at your fingertips on your schedule. Read and write your own motorcycle's ECU from the comfort of your home. No need to bring your bike to a shop, our easy-to-use handheld can be used in your spare time with quick turnaround. You now have a virtual custom personal tuner at your fingertips. Thoroughly tested by our own engineers, not just for its function but also for its durability, our easy-to-use handheld is just what you'll need to help get the most from your motorcycle!
CAN I JUST SEND IN MY ECU FOR FLASHING AND SPEND LESS? LET'S GO OVER THE ADVANTAGES.
- NO DOWNTIME - No need to send in your ECU or remove it from your bike at all. You order the handheld, it gets delivered to you nearly instantly, and you flash your bike on your time easily. You never miss a day of riding, and no effort in removing the ECU. If there are any issues, you can revert to the full stock state.
- READ AND CLEAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS - Full diagnostic of the ECU including the device.
- STORE MULTIPLE MAPS - When you send in your ECU, you only get one map. You might be thinking, "Why would I need more than one map?" Storing multiple maps means you're able to flash for different configurations. If you're a serious track competitor, we can work with you to get you different mapping for different tracks. If, for example, you're adding modifications to your stock bike, we can email you a file that takes the new exhaust into account with the changes you need to optimize your bike's new modifications with no mailing needed.
- GO BACK TO STOCK ANYTIME - Not only can you store multiple files, but you can also flash the original, stock file back into the bike at any time and for any reason for service, sales, and more.
- ABILITY TO TUNE FUTURE BIKES - Customers swap bikes all the time! With our handheld tuner, you are able to put the first bike back to stock, then reset the device and use the same device on your next bike, with a simple and low-cost transfer fee.
- ANY ISSUES? We can resolve nearly anything remotely, really quickly, with our engineering staff.
