Beware of HP4 maps on NON HP4 Bikes
Beware of HP4 maps on NON HP4 Bikes 30.10.2016

So not too long ago, an HP4 specific "performance" file was leaked and sold to a bunch of tuners through a website and those who didn't know better are copy and pasting this information into base model bikes.

So not too long ago, an HP4 specific “performance” file was leaked and sold to a bunch of tuners through a website and those who didn’t know better are copy and pasting this information into base model bikes.

I have seen some posts recently of other tuners and people getting a hold of this file and selling it or putting it into bikes thinking HP4 > base bike without understanding the full architecture of the ECU. Even though they are both BMSK8’s, much of the information does not transfer over, while some does.

While some of the tables work well, and are upgraded from the base bike, such as knock control OFF (I will revisit this below) and fueling air mass specific to the HP4 exhaust with link pipe, many of them are HP4 specific and are non-transferable. This does not work on ANY other exhaust system and most of the shorty system bikes have a lean miss at part throttle and are too rich at full throttle.

However most importantly when put onto a non-HP4 bike, consequences can result in a mild stumble or power cut, to a moderate throttle shut down, and flat out stalling of the bike at high speed. This could result in a host of issues, including lean angle, hard throttle cut out, and loss of power globally on multiple cylinders. While this map creates awesome engine breaking, it makes rain and sport mode result in an instant limp mode because the map location and load logic are completely different on the HP4 as demonstrated below for Rain/Sport.

SATISFIED CLIENTS MAKE US HAPPY

  • “ Bike is running awesome and no out of the ordinary popping under load during downshifts at high rpm. My hats off to your team for making me feel like I have a personal tuner at my disposal. Really appreciate the quick turnaround to get me straight. I can definitely feel the extra power! ”

  • “ This product is amazing.  I feel like I have a better version of my bike.  Like it should have come this way.  The throttle smoothness and even power band make it a joy to ride.  I no longer feel as if I'm riding a wild bronco lol. Thank you again, I didn't think that a L-twin could behave this well.  Also, your customer service is the best.  I could always reach you by email or phone.  I will tell everyone I know about this fantastic addition.  Keep up the great work, guys! ”

  • “ I have a 2015 S1000RR and was extremely skeptical when I heard about BrenTuning and the power they got out of an ECU flash.  After speaking with the team at BrenTuning, all my hesitations were put to rest and I haven't stop winning first place trophies since! BELIEVE THE HYPE! ”

  • “ Bren and his team did an awesome job on my bmw s1000rr. Went from 179rwhp an 83 rwtq to 206 rwhp and 93rwtq. Customer service was great and I highly recommend them for any of y'all that want to make that power!! ”

  • “ Purchased the tune for my 2015 BMW S1000RR. Was skeptical at first and initially had a bunch of questions. Chris was very patient with me and answered them all. Had some problems after receiving my ecu back and Chris was very helpful in getting all my issues worked out. Bike runs fantastic. Definitely worth it. Thank you again guys for dealing with my questions and taking care of everything before and after the purchase. Fantastic customer service. ”

  • “ After doing some research it was obvious that Brentuning was the best option for tuning of my S1000RR. I wont go into details but after multiple overnighting of parts to me at no additional charge, I'm really impressed and satisfied with the end result and I haven't even tried out my race fuel tune yet! To top if off I received a random care package of goodies from Chris today. The customer service at Brentuning is probably the best I've received from any business I've dealt with. Their email response times are unreal as well, lol. Literally sometimes instantly, kinda weird. lol. I would recommend any and everyone to Brentuning for your S1000RR tuning solution. If anyone has any questions or are hesitant before purchasing, feel free to shoot me a message and I'll help / assist / give you a more detailed opinion on my experience as well. ”

  • “ I have the Bren Tuning ECU flash on my 2015 BMW S1000RR and it is unbelievable how fast this bike is. This tune is the best thing I got for my bikes. I have also did the Bren Tune for my 2014 BMW S1000r for which it just made this bike really nice. Bren Tuning is the best. ”
