The BMW R18 is the must have new motorcycle for those wanting a unique heritage cruiser, so we received two test bikes to dial in and put our twist on it. Both bikes were tested in completely different weather climates to cover cold and warm climates. We made sure both bikes behaved the same and yielded the same results, without issues. Since our initial testing, we have successfully tuned over 500 R18 variants across the world, with glowing reviews and results!
STAGE 1 BENEFITS
Perfect fueling, all the time! The BMW R18 comes equipped with wideband oxygen sensors stock which fully target fuel at every throttle position. Once setup, the bike is running an “auto” tuner all the time! You'll never need custom adjustments for aftermarket parts once our simple Stage 1+ Flash is loaded in, the bike will use the factory O2 sensors and adjust itself for the new parts! With the options below we have a full on unleashed and aural riding experience to enjoy this motorcycle to it’s best possible potential. Here's a list of everything we did with Stage 1:
- Full-Time Closed Loop (FTCL) Fueling Adjustments
- Removed RPM "Soft" Limiter
- Rough Idle Fix - Cold and Warm
- Increased Torque Limits
- Increased Throttle Limiter To 100%
- Sharper Throttle Response
- More Aggressive "Rock" Mode Rumble
- Increased Ignition Timing
- Fixed Bucking and Rev Hang
- Removed Top Speed Limiter
HOW WE ACCOMPLISH THIS WITH STAGE 1
- RESTRICTIONS REMOVED. The OEM throttle model has "soft" and "hard" limits. The soft limits are where the R18 will start to close the throttle and limit torque by itself near the RPM limiter. We removed the soft limiter that comes in 600RPM before the factory RPM limiter.
- MODIFIED FUELING FOR FULL-TIME CLOSED LOOP AND WILL TARGET FOR BEST FUELING AND PERFORMANCE. Full-time closed loop tuning means your R18 can be programmed to always target a perfect AFR (air/fuel ratio). This new technology was just introduced by BMW in 2020 on other models, and we utilize it to work at all times for you with Stage 1. Want to change parts on your bike and worried it may change your fueling? Worry no more with Stage 1.
- MODIFIED IGNITION FOR ENHANCED PERFORMANCE. Stage 1 optimizes the ignition tables for performance and reliability. The R18 has multiple ignition tables. Depending on fuel quality, the bike will either choose more aggressive or less aggressive ignition map. This means more power when you want it through a simple higher octane gas tank fill.
- IDLE AND STARTUP FIXES. Complaints of idle and startup issues are common. Stage 1 fixes these issues and ensures your bike starts up and idles right the first time, every time.
- INCREASED TORQUE LIMITS. Torque limits removed to give you more torque in the midrange and low end (see dyno graphs below).
- THROTTLE INCREASED TO 100%. Factory throttle limits are common these days. Our Stage 1 flash removes all throttle limiters and gives you the power your bike should have had right from the factory. The factory R18 throttle limiters are at 3500RPM.
- SHARPER THROTTLE RESPONSE. Throttle response sharpened to give you a more lively and responsive feel on the road.
- INCREASED "ROCK" MODE RUMBLE. Ready to Rock? "Rock" mode idle gives you slightly more rumble and shake, while "Roll" mode still retains its functions with no shake.
- INCREASED IGNITION TIMING. Ignition timing carefully increased to yield optimized power while still giving you OEM reliability and ridability.
- FIXED BUCKING AND REV HANG. Low RPM bucking and throttle lift "rev hang" have been reduced with Stage 1.
- REMOVED TOP SPEED LIMITER. Top speed limiter of 110MPH had been removed with Stage 1

Dyno Testing
The R18 isn't know to be a powerhouse but there's still power to be made. With our Stage 1 flash we were able to gain 6WHP and 4WTQ. We also were able to smooth the throttle with sharper response. All dyno runs performed back to back on our in-house DynoJet with the only difference being our Stage 1 flash.
BLUE = Stage 1 with 93 Pump Gas, 83WHP / 114WTQ
RED = Factory tuning with 93 Pump Gas, 77WHP / 110WTQ
The graph below shows partial throttle power. We gave the R18 more partial throttle power through the entire RPM range and were able to make the bike smoother and more predicable.
BLUE = Stage 1 with 93 Pump Gas
RED = Factory tuning with 93 Pump Gas
**Testing performed with 93 octane pump gas. Usage of a lower octane will yield smaller power gains.**
THE BT MOTO HANDHELD TUNER
BT MOTO HANDHELD PERFORMANCE TUNER AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF HAVING ONE?
Custom tuning at your finger tips on your schedule. Read and write your own motorcycles 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 turn around. You now have a virtual custom personal tuner at your finger tips. Thoroughly tested by our own engineers, not just for its function but also 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 get's delivered to you nearly instantly, and you flash your bike on your time easily. You never miss a day of riding and no effort removing the ECU. Any issues, you can revert back to the full stock state.
- READ AND CLEAR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS - Full code reading diagnostics included in 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 add 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.
