  • Our complete review for the 18-24 Honda Gold Wing with BT Moto at home flashing. We include before and after comparisons, dyno, as well as Dragy 20-100mph GPS data. Ridden 100 miles stock and 100 miles flashed, we have the most comprehensive R&D of any aftermarket tuning company. This testing gives us an idea of what what the bike needs and how we can make it a better, and more enjoyable experience for the rider.
    Special thanks to Lee's Cycle in San Diego for letting us use their dyno.

    BT Moto did what many Goldwingers thought was impossible. We are able to make the GW faster and do it easily. We can do this at a very reasonable price and do it at home with a handheld device. This is better than what was ever available. The last company to provide Goldwing ECU flashing quit doing it without an explanation. That was not cool, at all. BT Moto is now doing it better than it was ever done. My Goldwing is now the perfect tourer. Fast enough. Smooth enough...very comfortable.

    Amazing video, I watched a couple times already. I bought the beta tune and had a little issue but you guys cured it right up and got it done and installed. Everything on this video is right on 100%. My wing is a 2022 bagger. I got top speed this past weekend to 130mph and I'm 280lbs. Great job BT.

    Fantastic upgrade. My 21 DCT was good before Roxanne is great now. Smooths out the shifting.. sports mode is actually usable. The bike is all around smoother. 12 out of 10. Pulls my unigo trailer perfectly. I've had it on my gw for ~a month and love it.

    Its so funny seeing those dyno numbers, compared to how the bike actually feels. Before my Wing(2018 Tour 6-speed) I rode a stage2 Victory XC(close to the same weight as the Goldwing) dyno tuned at 113hp/115tq at the rear wheel. Even stock the Goldwing felt more powerful and made passes with much more authority, its some kind of Honda mojo... With this final tune installed, everything about the bike's power delivery and rideability is significantly improved.. you did good BT 😎 I tour with the Goldwing but rarely on the highways, I use it as a Luxo-Sport-Tourer, the Wing now feels totally awesome cruising the back roads and twisties at pace...

      @@joycecottingham9432 Stock, I never liked using "sport mode" with my manual. The mode was too abrupt and twitchy, the slightest throttle inputs upset the chassis, especially in turns. With the BT tune, sport mode is smoothed out, but tour is so good its all I want for how I normally ride the bike. As for DCT, to each, their own, but I have no idea how someone can want to ride an automatic transmission motorcycle 🤔

    Thanks so much for the video. I got the flash as a beta, had some issue's you guys seemed to have taken care of it. Installed the tune without a glitch everything went as well as expected tune installed without a glitch. However dont notice a difference. But after watching this video realizing I havent tried sport/manual mode. I tried my top speed yesterday in tour/auto mode and only got 105mph, its like it hit a wall, like the limiter was still there. But I never tried sport/manual mode. Ill have to give that a try. Thanks for the video.

    I like the newer GWs but I just can’t give up my 2015 GW 40th Anniversary edition. I think shifting is part of the fun and the luggage space will hold more than $200 with of groceries. At 83k I will not hesitate to head in a round Robin to see my kids in San Diego, Westcliffe, Colorado and LaCombe, Louisiana. At 77, this bike fits me to a tee and will carry me anywhere.
    I see the new front suspensions and wonder if they will hold up like a good ole fork. There’s a lot of bushing and seals there. Maybe someday.
    The GW is Not a Sport Tourer. Think ST1300. 7 gallon tank(300+ miles) and great bags, moveable windshield and, with the fairing deflection kit, every bit the rain protection. There’s also the Beemer GT1300, Yamaha 1300, Kaw Concourse.

    Very good review and a worthwhile mod even for tour alone and full power in econ and rain under full throttle. I personally never change modes on a bike, I know how to ride in the rain and other limiting conditions have owned over 75 bike without this feature. On trips I would use econ because I know it matters on fuel mileage... I like that it includes the flasher but is it worth the $795.00 it cost? Depends on you.

    Does the flash affect the suspension preload settings? These bikes have way too soft suspension anyway and bottom out easily when ridden hard so it would be nice to have the Sport mode suspension preload setting in Tour mode. I understand that some people are putting their bike into Sport mode and then turning it off and disconnecting the preload plugs on the suspension so that the bike remains in the Sport mode suspension settings for all modes. Also, does this flash work OK on newer 2021 on wings that have the smoother DCT already?

    • @richbenoit1840
