Default 30 mile ride

I would like to get pick up my bike today but i have just installed new pipes and an air cleaner and have not done the tune yet with the PV. Without a tune will riding it hurt the motor any???...i plan on doing the tune as soon as i get the bike back to my garage...take in mind its about 45 degrees today

I would do an auto tune before or during the ride. Maybe start the AT and stop a couple of miles into it. It's really easy and will likely make your bike run better too.

not really for what you did, the main issue would be running lean to be honest and the motor getting to hot, but the cold weather prob took care of that issue for you.. sometimes you just have to try it out when you get it all installed! when Chad and i built my motor after it was done i went around the block a few times before going to the dyno... no issues man

Let er rip man. 30 miles in 45 degree weather will keep it cool. Just keep moving.
