Product Description
Schnitz Racing offers ECU Reflashing for the 2017-2018 BMW S1000RR to fully unlock the power potential of this engine.
Restrictions are used to control power output to allow easier control of the motorcycle for street conditions. However, these will limit the full potential of the engine for racing use. Allow us to eliminate these restrictions and allow your engine to run the way it should.
BMW S1000RR Reflash Features:
- Complete remodel of the fuel injection system to allow more power
- Adjusted Drive by Wire throttle settings for better throttle response
- Radiator Fan Set to Come On at 90*C (194*F)
- Optional: Disable Exhaust Servo Motor (If using a full exhaust system)
- Optional: Disable PAIR Valve
- Optional: Disable Exhaust Balance Pipe
- Optional: Adjust Fuel Tables To Match Exhaust
What is ECU Reflashing? ECU stands for "Engine Control Unit." It is the computer that takes information from the various sensors on the engine like crankshaft RPM, manifold pressure and throttle position to determine how much fuel to deliver through the fuel injectors and when to fire the ignition coils. The computer "chip" that is the heart of the ECU is usually an EEPROM -- an Electronically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory chip. The Read Only part of that means the chip retains its programming without periodic electronic refreshing; loss of electrical power doesn't lead to the chip losing its programming (It's like the CMOS BIOS of a computer). "Flashing" the chip involves electronically erasing the read only program and replacing it with new, updated information (the engine control 'map').
What Is The Exhaust Valve?
The exhaust valve is a butterfly valve in the OEM exhaust system that is used to lower exhaust noise. Many aftermarket exhausts eliminate this valve. If a delete device is not installed, a code will be tripped and the dash FI light will turn on. We can disable this in the ECU for a small fee.
What Is The Pair Valve?
The PAIR valve is a solenoid that opens to allow fresh air to enter into the exhaust system to aid in burning hydrocarbons to reduce emissions. There is no performance gain from removing the PAIR valve. The only possible benefit is reduced deceleration backfire or popping. If this is removed, a code will be tripped and the dash FI light will turn on. We can disable this in the ECU for a small fee.
