V85TT ecu remapping
1wild1:
I have not had the pleasure of riding a stock V85TT. I bought mine used with full mistral exhaust and upmap tune. Most people say the start to run out of steam at 6000 rpm's on a stock bike from what I have read. My bike will pull just as strong if not stronger climbing over 7.5k, I think I read the rev limiter is set to 8400 on the upmap tune. I have not pushed it that hard that high but there is no power loss. A lot of people say why try to make this bike faster, it's not for that, but this unicorn bike can do it all. I usually put around but she's superb when hoooning it out on the back roads. I also have no problem leaving it in sixth gear and lugging it around 45mph and up, something I've read they don't like. So from what I read compared to my experience, my tuned bike is better to ride than a stock set up in every way. But I would have never dumped the extra money into it if I had bought it new. previous owned had reciepts for 21k, I paid 10k.

Update,
I just installed the new mapping from Beetlemaps, did a quick test drive and happy with result.
Just as Mark promised, no real power gains but quit a bit more torque in the lower and mid-range.
Finally able to pull a wheelie :grin:

Put me on the list of satisfied Beetle customers. Just finished the remapping and throttle relearning. Bike starts and runs. Throttle works and no red triangles (after 2-3 throttle resets but knew this going in). I have not ridden it yet but expect things to work as others have reported.
A question for Beetlemapped 7SM ecu owners. Since the lambda sensors are no longer being used, I did not put them on the new exhaust and they are no longer plugged in. I have the CEL for those sensors "no signal". I half expected this but was hoping the disabling aspect in the remap would eliminate the need for them to physically be present.
What have others done in this case? I can plug them in and tuck out of the way but am leary of having the heated tips laying somewhere they shouldn't be. My exhaust is for an E5 so it has the small bungs up near the exhaust ports. I can weld in larger bungs and install the sensors but that just seems to be a waste of effort! I am open to advice from my fellow Beetlemapped brother!
Thanks, Jay
