highly unlikely - these adaptions on the bike are to allow hardware to communicate correctly - its not a fake remap. Brentune tweaks the bike's ignition and fueling adaptions - I doubt it touches these throttle bits, although if it could open secondary throttle more that would be interesting...
 
@botus
So if I purchased the Motoscan I could calibrate both - the throttle valve and electronic throttle by wire?

yes - so long as you have

1) a decent adapter between the diagnostic socket by the back of the bike's tank and the phone...
2) buy the ultimate version of his motoscan app
3) if you have the round diagnostic socket u need the adaptor between the ODB2 std and the old BMW round one

he only does an android app ! which is a nuisance but fine if that's what u have...
the better news is the adapter often called a dongle, will allow other comms with most cars see also his car app for £5 ScanMaster for ELM327 OBD-2 - Apps on Google Play

motoscan recco's his own dongle/BT adaptor (see top link below) and most BMW car fans worked out he's the real deal, and makes one of the best out there for molesting BM cars or bikes

you could support one of the most evil criminals in the world and buy from amazon or other more discerning places out there..
caveat emptor - you need to buy the right thing - budget Chinese ones out there for $15, but good ones are closer to $50 sadly there isn't one perfect one for all applications... as manus like to all muddle comms over their various made up canbus stds

links are just coz I can find the right things on this site



way too much but an example of the round adapter for early BMW bikes

 
Appreciate all the info in your posts - as well as the links you've provided.
What interested me the most was that I just had my '19B go into 'Limp Mode' for the second time (long time between) and the GS911 threw the same code; Throttle Valve 1 (right).

With that being said - my bike is under extended warranty - but the first time this happened under the 3yr warranty BMW said they couldn't duplicate the issue, nor would they acknowledge the fault from the GS911 - which I had photos of, so I didn't waste my time with the dealer - I just did reset with the throttle - but haven't had the time to take the bike out since.
 
Botus, I so agree with you about buying cheap Chinese products the are in most cases just that eg: cheap and nasty. How ever it is worth noting they also have some amazing tech used in modern day cars etc.
Thanks for your info that is interesting.

may not affect the B model - there's a TIPS doc for badly constructed looms where they didn't pop all the pins in the connector block for the throttle grip...

plus of course others - we messed up rider modes and various features don't work correctly, and another we messed up the warning lights on the dash using the wrong colour - all vehicles across ALL brands are today thrown together junk with almost functioning software - and everyday they try to resolve more joke build quality issues with an update (that's usually worse....)
