Unlock the True Performance of Your Honda Africa Twin

Transform the riding experience of your Honda Africa Twin with the BT Moto Stage 1+ ECU Flash with Handheld Tuner. Developed through extensive dyno testing and real-world data logging, this plug-and-play ECU calibration eliminates many of the factory restrictions imposed for emissions and market regulations, delivering a smoother, more responsive, and more enjoyable motorcycle.

Performance Improvements

BT Moto developed the Stage 1+ calibration to address several common factory limitations found on the Africa Twin platform.

Stage 1+ Calibration Includes

• Optimized Alpha-N fueling strategy
• Raised load and torque limiters
• Revised electronic throttle valve (ETV) mapping
• Removal of factory throttle restrictions
• Improved midrange fueling
• Smoother low-speed rideability
• Enhanced part-throttle performance
• Stronger top-end acceleration

The result is a motorcycle that feels significantly more responsive and refined during both everyday riding and aggressive adventure touring.

Dyno-Proven Gains

BT Moto's in-house testing demonstrates gains of approximately:

• Up to +10 horsepower
• Up to +8 lb-ft of torque

While peak horsepower improvements are noticeable, the greatest benefit comes from dramatically improved part-throttle power delivery, smoother acceleration, and enhanced rideability throughout the RPM range.

Why Choose the Handheld Tuner?

Unlike a traditional ECU flash service, the included BT Moto handheld tuner offers unmatched flexibility.

No ECU removal required.

Simply connect the handheld tuner to the motorcycle's diagnostic port, read the factory calibration, and install your performance map.

Diagnostics Built In
