Wow, listening to this guy, you would think the RSV4 is unimpressive with its power. Other RU-vid videos paint quite a different picture. If I didn’t presently own a 2021 RSV4, I might have believed him.
Let’s just say a customer decided to buy a 22’ Ultra Dark Rsv4 and he decided it was a good idea to track his bike in the first 600 miles and install a BrenTune… we get a call a week later that his suspension calibration warning is on and he brings the bike to the dealer… we ask piaggio about it and all they say is “Warranty Voided” 😂 (why track the bike in the break-in period, with factory oil?!?! Not motul 300v, and second you didn’t look at AF1Racing?!?! They have a race Ecu plug and play literally same price as the brentuner🤦🏾♂️)
Stock making 180+ at the wheel, and this guy was calling it slow lol. Wow. Also, that must be one forgiving customer! If I saw someone beating on my bike like this, they'd have a very bad day after I had a "special little talk" with them lol
Can you make a video after full exhaust and velocity stock on a dyno? This bike is killing me wanted get one asap… thanks BT moto for helping us with your research , making a rocket bike..
Tc prevents it from wheelies even wen aw is off. I test rode one a while ago so wen I rode it I turned everything off to actually get everything out of it. Was wheeling in 3rd gear so it’s not like it’s heavily restricted as his making it seem. Yes restricted but not by much. It’s still a 1099 cc and you feel that. Stock and all
It’s more restricted than you think. The way they set up the maps if you don’t turn off traction control completely it will still hold back power to keep traction. When I would try to wheelie even with the wheelie control off it would still cut because the slight loss in traction coming up. I would either have to turn everything completely off in road individual mode or put it in race mode to and turn down the settings, to get “100%” out of it. If he turned everything completely off or put it in race the emergency hazards wouldn’t of turned on either or just go to the settings to turn it off
just picked mine up 5 days ago, coming off a 2008 cbr600rr, I was wondering throttle response is way too sensitive and jerky, and I can barely ride under 50km/h in first gear feels like is going to stall and bucks a lot? I also noticed in almost all the gears anything under 5000 rpm feels terrible and yes I haven’t completed my break in period. This thing feels like a ROCKET and is really comfortable and planted in corners.
@@jondoe5532 I kind of disappointed, saved up alot of money and it took me a long time. Did my research on the bike and wasn’t expecting this. Couldn’t try it before buying and nobody that I know has one and you know salesman buy it’s the best bike ever crap! It shut down 3 times already with no reasons while riding. Going through slow corners feels like it’s going to buck me off. I can’t imagine someone with little experience on this thing. Came close to buying a bmw but had such bad experience with my car that there was no way as going back them up. I’ll look into that rear sprocket, heard tps and ride by wire might be out of alignment? and would a tune smooth out the problem?
@@jacksht6308 i have a gabro racing upmap and the velocity stacks on order and i believe that these items will transform the bike from the stock settings. if you can get a tune with a decat pipe I'm sure it will help with the power curve and fuelling but i feel this bike is still slightly high geared and poor for low speed 3k rpm and below street riding which is why i bought a 43 tooth rear sprocket, i bought the 2009-2011 rsv4 525 pitch 43t talon and it fits. a 44 tooth would be even better for low speed driveability but you lose a little bit more of top speed capacity. if you are still running your bike in and below 600 to 700 miles they do seem to have slight electronic faults, i had a yellow check engine light after 100 miles and it restricted the bike slightly via the exhaust valve not opening fully but it cleared itself after 500 to 600 miles of riding. the rear sprocket will help you the most for the least amount of money and i have read that these bikes will top 200mph with the stock gearing so they are not geared for low speed street riding and i can not help thinking that the long gearing may also help in sound and emission figures. if i were you, i would definitely buy the larger sprocket but just be aware that the bike will wheelie more over slight bumps in the road. also try the engine brake management on the lowest setting which is setting 1, this will help to lower the on off throttle jerk, it lets the bike roll more freely. just be aware that you will need to brake harder in those high speed to low speed situations where some more aggressive engine braking can help when you downshift quickly through the gears whilst also braking. i know that my last honda had almost zero engine braking on throttle on/off so i am thinking your old honda 600 might have been the same sort of free rolling feeling, you just need time to get a feel for your new bike and on jerky bikes and when i go through a really slow bend, usually a 90 degree junction when im turning left or right, i drive upto the turn and then clutch in and let the bike roll through the turn while using some slight front brake to control the bike from running wide as i make the turn and then let out the clutch slowly whilst applying some power to drive out of the turn.
@@jondoe5532 really appreciate all the information, asked everywhere and not a lot of feedback or info so all that knowledge is really kind. I figured that last part out on my own for tight corners, just feels weird all that extra work, but you’re right I am starting to find ways and adapt to this new bike and style of riding, really have to watch out for the police when riding at high revs going way faster then you think. thanks!
hey bro I have a Question,When using a manual Bike ,Do you use the clutch to shift or Is more like a paddle shifters,I ask this because early in the video before getting gas I didn't see you using the clutch to go from first gear to second So that's Why I have a doubt.Wish you can answer it whenever you can😁Great Video Btw🔝
Quick question,why does BT get such a bad rap from certain people?My 2022 is stage 2 and I bought it that way and I’ve had a 2018 S1000RR with stage 2 tune also,but I’ve been hearing a lot of people saying my bike is going to blow up?Ive had nothing but good experience so far though.
Some “tuners” will try and say anything to sell their tuning to people. When you’re going up against the best in the business all you can do is try to scare people with FUD. In reality no bikes are blowing as a result of BT tuning.
I run mine on 93 octane not flashed and it'll pull the front tire up at 90+mph in second ..just by simple letting of the throttle and hitting it again...
Slicks on the Street? Gratulations to the owner for half the grip that a tyre like Road Attack, Roadtec or Angel GT has in this temperature window. Some people really think a "fast" tyre just HAS to make'm fast too :|
It was very hard to pass up the Aprilia, such a good platform! The updates are great, but it’s basically the same bike you get for the last few years…which could be a good thing not having to spend $$$! Also too: The Tuono is just as good, for what I do!!🤷♂️ I ended up going with a 22 Panigale! (Refined Beast mode) Definitely getting BT flash as soon as I figure out which exhaust I’m going with!!
Could only get it up to 140ish? Wow kinda surprising I’m curious about the 2020+ r1 flashes. What hp numbers are people seeing from the handheld flash?
Love this. Imagine a full exhaust. Proper fuel and recalibration. Old one made 213. Suprised its still 1sec off the bmw though is that down to gearing?
@@NudaMan Stock engines are blowing up. BMW IS THE PROBLEM. A brand new bike should not NEED a tune in the first place to run like every other BMW sold worldwide. BMW is a disgrace
Does the stage 1 flash account for 93 and cat delete slip on as is, or should I include this somewhere in order notes? Blows my mind the other tunes for this bike aren’t using closed loop.
love my 22'. still breaking in. we got 93octane in SC. dont really care much about wheelie. im a small guy (157lbs), so maybe its up to rider. but its plenty fast in Sport mode for me. Probably just do tailtidy & exhaust and I'm set.
@@devononuska3088 yea idle and low speed stuttering gone. Doesn't sound like I have a cammed v8 with the AR exhaust now. Lol. Weather has been iffy, so havent tested any spirited riding before/after yet since upload flash.
That 'dip' is normal and you should try to mask it as to bad as post ++ rpm you can loose some hp/tq. It is supposed to be velocity stacks opening. This is per "race canter" comments.. I don't know, just spreading the info right/wrong I guess you'll let me know if they wrong. :)
The Tuono is geared differently, for more “on the Street” riding, loads of torque down low. Less top end power. My buddy says my flashed 21 tuono wheelies easier than his flashed 21 RSV4.
If I already have the gabro custom tune, would it be worth switching to the BT? Haven't had any issues at all with Gabro, but I don't know the power difference between the two, or any other benefits of one over the other.
Stock have only 182 rwhp? My Stock RSV4 Factory 2022 has only full Akrapovic and without any tune makes 196 rwhp... Motorcycles for american market make low HP because noise limitations, and BrennTune make them normal like EU wersion? I am right?
While European versions typically have a little more steam from the factory than their US counterparts, that doesn’t take away from the fact that the EU versions still get huge benefits from being flashed and optimized. Still EU restrictions on those bikes.
I have the same bike and it’s stock ,it’s looks better than this something is fishy🙂👍and I have feeling that ur exaggeration bike never heated never had issues but Bren tune to the rescue 😂😂 plz @aprilia contact Bren tune 😂🥴
