Hi has any one on here with a s1000rr tried the Bren tuning hand held ecu flashing tool from the states if so is it worth it , what are the gains IE power and torque, ease of use problems ect

I've just ordered one.
When I get it I will dyno my bike again as is(full system,mapped pcv 202rwhp).I will then remove the pcv and re-connect the O2 sensors(needed with the Bren) and dyno again.I can't see how that will be perfect as it's no different to fitting a pcv and using one of their maps (gains can always be made with a dyno fine tune).
Unless I'm lucky and the Bren map is spot-on,I will then have it custom tuned by Bren and dyno again.Unfortunately,due to the need to do it all by email and the time differences it will probably take several days but I will use the same dyno each time.
I don't expect it to pick up any more peak hp but I am hoping for better pickup from my '12-at least on a par with my '10 and even stronger midrange.Quite what it will be like without the 1st 2nd 3rd gear restrictions I dread to think! Just a shame I won't find out till the sun comes out again!
Way i read it (quickly) there's more benefit for the early models than the later? Would this affect the regs if using it for racing....
It looks like the main gain on '10/'11s is '12 dtc/abs settings.I'm not sure if there are any gains on '12 dtc but I can live with that.
The biggest gains on a '12 that I can see are reverting back to '10 power delivery and improved ignition advance,removal of 1/2/3rd gear restrictions and,of course,more direct response between twistgrip and ecu.And hopefully,a few other things!
Please keep us updated Baz as myself and a I expect a few others will be very intrested
I wish I could make up my mind on what to go for. Hilltop tune or Bren tuning unit. :/
Ah bless lol !Save your money for now.I have dyno'd mine.No improvement on any of the maps.Am waiting for a custom tune to recover the 7hp loss of midrange compared to well set up pcv.(Bren reckons mine is unusual!!!)As I have said previously,I didn't expect more hp-but I did expect it to be closer to the pcv setup.
I don't doubt it will feel better given the other mods Bren makes but I still want what I had before!
I will post dyno maps etc.and more info when we get on the dyno again.
The most annoying thing is my bike sits at the dyno shop so I can't even look at it lovingly!
