BMW built more than one. Just saying.
BMW M1000R
- Thread starter -JERICHO-
- Start date
Out of sight, out of mind.
No I got this one from BMW Toronto. So the risk of purchase for Soulcatcher still exists.. lol
I'm going to order the stage 1 from BT. They don't have anything past stage one that I could find for my model yet. I am wondering if I should bother changing the entire thing from the headers or just leave what they gave me and see what a tune will do. I am used to much louder exhausts so this one is a bit quiet for me.

if it's a similar exhaust setup to my '20 XR (looks that way at a glance);
You likely have a flapper valve after the cat that opens up around 6k rpm - the noise increase should be noticeable around that point.
The Bren flashes typically disable that flapper so it remains open all the time, if your stage 1 flash follows suit you should notice a healthy noise increase upon startup
I think you will be very happy with the throttle response and revised powerband post flash. Chris@ Bren can create a separate map for a full system if you decide to go that route later. Just communicate with him as you send him the base file and let him know what you want. They made 2 maps for me (+stock one) at time of purchase, but if you go back asking for one down the road they may charge you.

Its a great bike so far. Lighter and smaller than most of the other bikes I've owned. The stock exhaust is super quiet and I can't even hear my bike around any other bikes with slip-ons (which is everyone). I personally prefer a louder exhaust to give other drivers a chance to hear my location. Waiting on that to arrive.. apparently its going to take a while.
I love how it looks as well. I removed the passenger pegs and got a fender eliminator so its a bit cleaner looking. I also added a comfort seat as the last 5 hour ride I did was getting uncomfortable towards the end with just the M seat. I also put a windscreen on there, which I am undecided on whether or not it made any difference. That little carbon deflector that came with the bike is more effective that I thought, but I have to make a few more trips to "Mexico" to know if higher speeds create the wobble that people say happens.
The only thing that drives me nuts so far is the range. Just a bit over 200km per tank. I almost got stranded up in the highlands when I was messing around up there and had to make it a mission to find a gas station.
Sport bike range. Whomp whomp
