BT Moto Stage 1 Performance Calibration With Handheld Tuner Yamaha R1 2020-2026
The 2020+ Yamaha is probably the bike we get emailed about tuning the most so we decided to take it on. Having a massive customer and fanbase makes this bike is incredibly popular. Your requests helped our tuning become a priority at our headquarters in Massachusetts. While the R1 isn't a new platform, its addition to our lineup is. With all the known tuners stumped with the flashing protocol on this machine, we wanted to step in and help; and with the help of our engineers, we have been able to streamline the much needed ECU development in a short amount of time. This has quickly turned into the best upgrade you can get for your R1 with gains of up to almost +50WHP from just a flash!We have found the 2020+ R1 has a lot of changes to the software and ECU side. We use factory information and reverse engineering, meaning we don’t use incomplete editors to nudge fueling a little, like some competitors will try to do. We had to develop ECU strategies from square one. From acquisition of the bike, to spare control units to Euro and US testing, we found out how everything works down to the last detail and what differs so much in power output. After all our hard work we are able to bring you our Stage 1.
- Up to almost +50WHP/+20WTQ gains
- Fully de-restricted
- Adjusted fueling to an optimal AFR with stock or aftermarket exhaust systems
- Optimized ignition mapping for more power but still well-within safety parameters
- Completely de-restricted throttle
- RPM limit increased to 14,500 upon request
- Cooling fan activation adjusted from 216 degrees F to 195 degrees F to keep the engine cooler
- Quickshifter and auto blipper adjustments to be used at lower and higher RPM when needed at the track
- Top speed limiter removed
- Please note: Velocity stacks are not needed on this platform, there are no HP gains to be found, stock works the best.
The 2020+ Yamaha is one of our most popular products. Being the first to the game back in 2020 was a huge deal and we paved the way for ECU tuning access on these bikes back then. Since then we have quietly revised our product to deliver more power, better rideability, and more refinement. We have received hundreds of inquiries over the past 5 years for a Stage 2 variant of our already popular stage 1 map. While we love sales as much as the next person, we never felt that we had enough changes available to warrant a stage 2 map. That was until this year. Starting from the ground up and revisiting all the tables we modify in the ECU, we looked for worthwhile changes that would take our already great mapping, to the next level. Outlined below, our stage 2 features are designed around a fully modified bike. This means a full exhaust and filter at least should be used. Our stage 1 handheld tuner is needed first which allows you to flash the ECU.
- Remapping of the whole torque and ETV curve to give 100% of its torque below 7,000 RPM at every angle for maximum torque and responsiveness.
- Reshaped all throttle angles to get rid of the traditional Yamaha jerky experience of on / off throttle - making it ride incredibly smooth like an Aprilia/BMW as most requested. Removing or adding angle until we got a true 1:1 experience with the rider making the bike much easier to ride slowly AND at the limit
- Fully revised quick shifter for dramatically improved shifting to mimic the BMW S1000RR speed and consistency
- Adjusted fueling for various different exhaust and filter configurations at every throttle angle making it a full spectrum tune
- Utilized closed loop for low throttle angles and low RPM for fuel economy when cruising, without missing out on power.
- Optimized ignition mapping for more power but still well-within safety parameters, Seeing 192 on 91 pump and 195 on 93 with a 2025 slip on/stock filter bike. Putting peak power now at 13,700 RPM vs. 13,000 RPM before (Stage1)
- Available mapping for VP race fuels (200+whp)
- Adjustment to YCCI velocity stack RPMs for increased top end
- Please note: Regardless what any vendor says: Velocity stacks are not needed on this platform, there are no HP gains to be found, stock works the best.
