BMW K1300S Power Commander Dual map install and Dyno setup

Posted February 15th, 2013 in BMW, ECU Remap, Power Commander.

The customer who owns this Beemer reckons it’s a fairly economical bike to run because of its healthy power; the Power Commander fitted had definitely given him a bit more ‘go’ too, but he did feel that he’d lost some of the fuel economy. So we built him an economy map – all he has [...]

2006 BMW R1200S Dyno set-up

Posted September 19th, 2012 in BMW, ECU Remap, Power Commander.

Fitted with the ‘cheat’ Power Commander PC 3 (no lambda sensor, it works a map for each cylinder individually) this BMW R1200S came in for a set-up on the Dyno. The owner is slowly turing it into an HP2 and, to be fair, when it left it was at HP2-spec on the horsepower front; 120bhp [...]

BMW S1000RR ECU remap

Posted September 17th, 2012 in BMW, ECU Remap.

We saw this BMW S1000RR for an ECU remap when it was only 600 miles old. We explained to the owner that we would much rather map it when the engine was fully loosened up, as its fuelling needs would change. Anyway, he came back with 2,500 miles up and we had another look on [...]

BMW S1000RR ABS speedo sensor fit and Power Commander PC V Dyno set up

Posted April 25th, 2012 in BMW, ECU Remap, Power Commander.

The ABS model BMW S1000RR takes its speed reading from the ABS ring on the front wheel; this bike had been fitted with a Power Commander PC V and needed a speed sensor fitting to make it work properly with six individual fuelling maps, one for each gear. The PC V allows you to put [...]

2010 BMW S1000RR ECU remap

Posted December 2nd, 2011 in BMW, ECU Remap, Road Bikes.

A BMW S1000RR, fitted with a full Leo Vince exhaust system, bought in for an ECU remap by its owner for various reasons; apparently there are warranty issues with dealer downloads and the Power Commander route covers up some of the cracks without fully sorting all of the issues. With the full system onboard the [...]

BMW R1100S Power Commander PC III set-up

Posted September 14th, 2011 in BMW, ECU Remap, Road Bikes.

This Café Race-style BMW R1100S is owned by one of our customers who over time is transforming it into something a bit different, which we applaud him for. He’d fitted himself a BMW-specific wide band Power Commander PC III with built-in Lambda, which constantly updates the fuelling as it goes. On the Dyno, early on [...]

BMW R1150GS Power Commander PC III wide band module Dyno set up

0 Comments Posted May 4th, 2011 in BMW, On the Dyno, Road Bikes.

A 2002 BMW R1150GS came through the workshop recently; the owner wanted to know about the full set of options available to him – which are a Power Commander PC III wide-band module, a 1200GS PC V system or the BBS chip, which ‘fools’ the ECU and richens everything up. He chose the Power Commander [...]

BMW K1600GT on the Dyno

Posted April 18th, 2011 in Bells & Whistles, BMW, On the Dyno, Road Bikes.

The word behemoth is underused these days, so we’ll apply it here; BMW’s six cylinder K1600GT made an impressive appearance on the BSD Dyno courtesy once again of those upstanding fellows at BIKE magazine. It made 120lb-ft torque, not massive horsepower but more than enough, and you could put it in top gear at 20mph [...]

Trackday BMW S1000RR Cordona PQ8 quickshifter set up

Posted March 23rd, 2011 in BMW, Parts News, Quickshifter.

BMW’s S1000RR is the hottest track day bike of choice right now – and this 2009 model was in for a Cordona PQ8 strain gauge quickshifter kit set up. The problem with the stock BMW quickshifter (which doesn’t manifest itself on the road) is that under hard track use its action is spongy, stressing the [...]

BMW S1000RR ECU remap

Posted February 1st, 2011 in BMW, Parts News.

We’ve seen a fair few BMW S1000RRs through the workshop, road and race, in for varying degrees of work. Experience has shown that just changing the exhaust end can has little effect, although Yoshimura Japan has developed an EEC-approved slip-on Tri-Cone end can that works better than most. A Power Commander PC V definitely is [...]
