flashed it back to stock to see if issue continues?

 

We tried this 3 times and nothing changed, it still had the same issue

 

Keep us updated on how this is resolved and what the culprit was. I’m on the fence about ordering stage 1.

 

Hopefully Brentune works it out. Good luck!

 

Are you close to their shop where maybe you can bring your bike there? I’m sure they will figure it out but it would definitely be easier if you could bring your bike there. I wonder if after the flash adaptations need to be reset.

 

Nope I’m in a whole different country, Toronto, Canada

Let us know what you find !! I'm on BC Canada

 

Your bike is under warranty. I would take it back to BMW, and have them run diagnostics on the entire bike. Don’t tell them about having flashed it. Usually, there are code and micro code updates available, which, during the updating, remove all flashes and revert the programming and the new settings back to the BMW defaults. Ride your bike and see if the problem(s) that you describe herein come back. Let me know…

 

I hope you get this issue resolved. Please keep us updated. I about thinking about purchasing brentuning August 1st.

 

Update... So Brentuning had me reset the handheld device and sent me two more tune files and they both seem to be working well, no more RPM issues. I tested both of them on a 30 minute ride each and everything seems good. I’m going to be taking the bike out for a few more rides in next couple days and get some testing done in different riding conditions. I also want to say that their customer service has been nothing short of amazing, i would get reply’s within 20 minutes. They also never had me feeling like the issue wouldn’t be resolved, my only concern was how long the process would take being that we have a limited riding season here in Canada. Overall as of right now i would definitely recommend investing in the tuning device if you have 2020 S1000RR.

Hi there, I know a bit old thread but I am new to the bike. How's the bike running, did you run into any issues again?

 

That's great. I'm happy the issue was resolved rather quick. Makes me feel that much more warm & cozy about investing.

 

Though I am very glad they worked it out with you and addressed all your concerns, this is why I think a "cookie cutter" ECU flash is ok and not for everyone.

How does a bike in Southern California compared to Colorado (high elevation) or New York react to the same tune? Altitude, humidity, fuel quality and etc play a major factor in all of this.

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but since this bike has wide band O2 sensors I was under the impression tuning is a little different from other bikes. I believe they target an AFR (lambda?) and the ECU adds fuel as necessary(within a set range). That’s how their E85 tune is able to compensate for differing ethanol contents as it can vary from station to station. I’m not 100% sure if it would be able to compensate for that level of elevation, but when you purchase the tune they ask you several questions about your bike’s mods, type of riding, ect. so I’d assume they would take your location’s DA into account. Again, I could be wrong, I’m sure someone can/will correct me if I am. I personally haven’t tuned my bike yet, this is just what I’ve gathered from my research.

Have the changed anything from the stock, i.e. header/can? If so, noticed anything unusual?
