The last few years I haven't been keeping up with the latest and greatest innovations that all the great minds around here think of so I need some opinions on something I just found.

The attached link is for "John Gemi" and he is supposedly a BMW Motorad engineer who is mapping newer computer chips for our bikes. I think he has 8 different stages of mapping?

I have had from the very begging the Rhine West / Remus setup and have been very happy with it but was wondering if this guys offerings can improve upon what I have presently??

Opinions Please

I have the Stage 5 chip installed on my 2005 LT. It eliminated the bogging at low speed starts and has the made the bike very responsive throughout the RPM range. Great mod for $100.

Are you familiar with the Rhine West chip we have had for over a decade? It eliminated that problem and the +/- 4000 rpm hesitation also.

I am wondering if the Stage 5 would be an equivalent to the Rhine West Chip.

I got a response from supplier of this newer chip and he said I should get the "Stage 6" and I am wondering what that would do? LOL

Thanks for getting back to me so fast. I hope I can get more people with experience with this newer chip to respond!

Sorry I am not familiar with the RW chip. John said the Stage 5 chip is the highest I could go with a factory setup and ensuring I always used 93 octane gas. Any higher stages would cause pinging unless I added mods like better exhaust or intake.

I have just fitted a stage 8, my bike is stock European model, the motor runs 95 or 98 Ron fuel only haven't ridden it anywhere yet.

Stage "8" LOL What the heck is that as compared to a Stage "6"? Note that I current have a Remus Exhaust and Rhine west chip. Wish I could see the charts on all of these chips in one spot!

Thanks Steve A

He listed a stage 9 for bike with Remus and kn filter.. I am in Australia, we use different fuels to you lot.

Copied from my conversation with John,,,

The stage 8 works on full stock bike on premium 95 and 98 Ron fuel only, and the 9 works on a bike with K/N free air filter and de-cat system exhaust (has little more richer fuel).
If you bike is full stock you need the stage 8 chip, if has free air filter or de-cat sytem after market exhaust the stage 9 is the best chip.

Axle thanks for responding.

Have you seen any power charts on all of these stages. I have a Remus Exhaust and it shouldn't be much of a problem installing a K+N filter me thinks.
