Hilltop Motorcycles LTD Reviews Summary

ECU Remapping Results

Pros:

• "The bike now pulls cleanly right through the rev range."
• "Throttle response is instant and the riding experience is now what it should have been like when it left the factory."
• "Fuelling is transformed, power everywhere, just a fantastic job."
• "Massive acceleration and a top end I'll admit to when I'm on a track."
• "The bike is much smoother in traffic...where I needed it. No more violent on off fueling."
• "No more jerky snatchy throttle, the power delivery is so linear now with bags more mid-range."
• "My bike is transformed into a smooth crisp and a hoot to ride."
• "The mid-range torque is sooooo improved and now changes up a few hundred RPM sooner."

Cons:

• "After a few days bike kept cutting out, called Hilltop and they said it was not their software."
• "The snatchy throttle returned and the engine braking seemed the same."
• "Had to take my bike to Yamaha dealer. Another £20 to turn off Engine Management light!"
• "I feel like I have been ripped off. I wish I had done more research before going to Hilltop."
• "My bike was mapped through the diagnostic port and done with the ignition off. With the benefit of hindsight, this is not possible as I am told."
• "Was a bit disappointed with 118 at the rear wheel peak."
• "I was expecting his next comment to be regarding payment, but no, he said 'Go and take it for a run'. If I do not notice anything then there is no way he will get a penny from me."

Customer Service Experience

Pros:

• "Geoff and the team are very friendly, giving advice on anything you ask."
• "Great service, professional set up, does what it says on the tin."
• "The guys really make you welcome. Plenty of banter and a cuppa."
• "Geoff is very knowledgeable and had time to explain what he was doing."

Cons:

• "Hilltop are the only ones that had touched my bike so it can't have been anyone else. Geoff is a liar and a thief."
• "They're shipping process... Sent my ECU over from the US to them. That in itself was a nightmare."
• "The guys at Hilltop sorted me out with a reflash on my BMW R NineT. The result is amazing, its like having a different bike."
• "Hilltop isn't just about making your bike go faster, their remap can also make the power of the bike more accessible."

Overall Motorcycle Performance Impact

Pros:

• "Absolutely fantastic service, 2 of us booked in for remap on our GS's down at Hinckley, but never knew we could get it done at BMW motorrad."
• "It was well worth getting soaked in a hail storm on the way home to have my Africa Twin go so well now."
• "If you love your bike treat it to a trip to these guys and let them work their magic. Top friendly blokes and the results are awesome."
• "Made a huge difference to my S1KRR and my 1200GS. Highly recommend them."

Cons:

• "Unfortunately complete rubbish and dismal 2017 (BMW R9T) ECU tune received."
• "If like me you are disappointed with the sloppy, jerky poor fuelling of your 16,000 pound R1200RT do yourself a favour and take a trip to see Geoff."
• "I have taken a number of bikes to Hilltop. The BMW S1000RR I took for a remap had better results than the BMW factory download that had previously been installed."
• "A massive thank you to Geoff and the team for a really great day and an amazing service."
