About the Product

BT MOTO IAT RELOCATION KIT

As many of our customers know, our IAT (Intake Air Temperature) Kit for the 10-19 BMW S1000RR has been extremely popular and shows noticeable gains on the street and even dyno.  This IAT strategy was first used by Dinan (BMW) in the 1990's. However, the 2020 S1000RR/R/X/M included some serious changes and required a new strategy for this project.

Our kits have been installed and successfully tested with positive reviews on the street and track! The bike doesn’t feel as lazy from a dead stop anymore.   The IAT Kit allows for consistent power at all RPMs and gears instead of waiting for higher gears to get additional, rated power.  During our testing on the dyno and per gear / per RPM datalogging, we found many delays in the factory ignition to combat the heat soak the factory airbox flappers create (flapper removal Click Here).  With our flapper delete and relocated IAT sensor, the bike reacted sharp from a dead stop and in lower gears / speeds (pre-6000 RPM cruising) without knock detection.  It is recommended that the IAT and flapper removal are used together but not required.

Getting a true ambient temperature from the front of the bike is much better than getting temperature readings from its original location on top of the engine with the flapper doors shut.  Idling at the starting line, pits or at a street light on a 100 degree day will put the bike into a temperature protect mode and pull power out to "save itself" until the IAT sensor reads accurate ambient air temp once the bike starts moving.  True ambient temps help the bike deliver more power and stay consistent in racing conditions.  We are not tricking the sensor but simply allowing it to read proper temperatures of the outside air.

WHAT DOES THIS KIT DO?

• •  
• Relocates the Intake Air Temp (IAT) sensor.
• Moves the IAT sensor from the factory location near the cylinder head to the front of the bike to get a true ambient reading.
• A true ambient reading means more power but also means consistent power.
• Noticeable improvements in stop-and-go traffic, starting a race from a stop and exiting the pit.
• No downside and dyno proven gains across the powerband (see dyno chart below).

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

• (1) IAT Extension Harness
• (1) Billet Aluminum Plug For Original IAT Sensor Location
