Question about power commanders or remaps
« on: July 01, 2017, 11:04:28 pm »
So, I did the trip around the Pyrenees, got back a week ago. Bike ran lovely. Just one issue, that was the low rev lumpiness.

So, after digging around on here, I'm considering either a power commander or some
Kind of remap. However, I'm wondering if it will effect my warranty...??? Anyone got
Any experience with warranty and remaps?   

Cheers in advance

A Power Commander won't affect the warranty. Read 'shouldn't'!

You don't say what year your 12 is.

First, has it got the later airbox and ICV? If not, get the kit from BMW. Pricy but it fixed mine, along with the associated ECU re-flash. After this update my PC, which was fitted immediately prior to finding out about the mods, was redundant.

Second, if it has have you tried removing, cleaning and re-setting the ICV? If not, do that next.

Mine was never perfect but it got rid of the low-speed, low-rev jerkiness.

PM Martin (fjtwelve) for details of his re-map and the amazing results.

Bit obscure there. If you put it in your profile it appears at the top where most folks look for it.
