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

2010 Triumph Sprint ECU Reprogram
The issues with this bike mainly concern power and power delivery off the bottom especially two-up. It’s been back to the dealer and had the latest factory tune, but the owner wants a little more. First job? Isolate the Lambda sensor and cap off the emissions unit. The bike was then put on the Dyno and we reprogrammed the stock ECU; fuelling at the bottom end has been richened up, taking away the ‘hunting’ snatchiness. Fuelling all the way through the rev range has been optimized and the ignition curve trimmed.

2009 Yamaha R1 Road to Race
To upgrade to race spec we’ve fitted an Öhlins rear shock and MCT have modded the front forks. The engine’s been out and we’ve adjusted the cam timing, ported and skimmed the cylinder head and we’re fitting a set of BSD Performance adjustable bellmouths. It’s also having a YEC race loom and ECU, plus quickshifter.
