Default download or remap ?? That is the question !

As per the dealer the $150 download after installing a new A/C does not do anything. I have to go with the full $700 remap.
Any opinions on the matter??
Thanks.

yeah...walk out and go elsewhere. there's your tip for the day. did you paint him into a corner and tell him to break down the difference to you? he prolly woulda turned a deep red and changed the subject. btw-the 700$ remap include a dyno tune? if so i MIGHT be able to see why it's so expensive.

That $700 had better be a dyno tune and a SERT tuner.

I'd still shop around. If you want a super good tune and tuner, you can take a nice ride up to Doc's Performance Tuning in Minneola Florida. He's the guy that 90% of the Florida dealers have train their dyno techs.

He's super meticulous and will walk you through the entire process, explaining himself along the way.

Here is the break down 3 hours x $88 plus a dyno tune . He said the $200 download is not wort doing it because it's not customize to the bike.

I'm only changing the A/C, I already drilled the mufflers.
Thanks

For something that minute, you would be better off getting a set of X14iED's for $100. It will do exactly what you are looking for. Save the dyno for when you add cams or punch up to a 1200-1250.

Also, you can install them your self pretty easily and save even more cash!

When I told him that for the same price or even less I could buy a very high end fuel management unit he told me that as of now HD is now voiding warranty on your bike even if you had purchase from them a screaming eagle fuel pack.

That's a solid "Take your business elsewhere my friend." if I ever saw one.
Plenty of dealers around Florida to have to deal with that.

If they can't prove that that device caused your fault or failure, then they can not void your warranty.
