You don't need to retune without any mods. You say you want to change the exhaust and then the air cleaner later. My advice is do it all at once. You will need a retune after changing both so do it all at once and save yourself some money and time. If you don't have the funds to do it all now then wait until you do. The guys at Fuel Moto are experts at this. Check them out.

I agree with this, well most of it.
I wouldn't waste time or money on tuning a stock bike with no mods.
**EDIT**
sorry I was confusing you with someone else. Just get a stage1 A/C from FM and install that for now. This will allow your motor to breath much better than that stock A/C does unless your bike is like mine and came with the SE Ventilator A/C and not the football cover. If that's the case, then stay with what you have and replace the filter with a K&N and you're done with that mod.
Then buy your exhaust (get rid of that cat or get a headpipe also) and tuning device together. Once you make this secondary change in air-flow you do need to tune it in one fashion or another.
just my

I agree with that.
But if he is going to make the changes he stated, he isn't going to hurt anything by doing the tuner first.
What's wrong with having a bike that runs better without AC or mufflers?
If a man is doing a stage 1 in 3 steps, the wise move is to start with the tuner.

ps I wouldn't tune a stock bike, and I wouldn't start with the air filter alone. De-cat first, then slip ons, then tune/air filter.

Personally, I wouldn't waste my time re-tuning a stock bike. It may run a little cooler but that would be the only benefit. From my own experience, it's better to do all the mods you want and tune it then. Doing mods in stages is usually more costly and definitely more time consuming.
