Default Do you think I will do any harm...?

I am getting my bike out of winter storage this week. Over the winter I had the indy install a high flow filter on my 2014 SGS. The only other mod I have on there to date is street cannons. I did not reflash last year when I put on the mufflers. My questions is whether I would do any harm riding it home about 10 miles before I hook up my FP3 and flash. I know it will be very lean. I would bring the fuel pack with me to pick it up and flash there but he is in a very remote area and I won't have that great of a cell signal, if any...

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

You'll be fine running that short distance.
Just ride it within reason, and no "full throttle" blasts.

It may not run perfect, but it isn't going to harm anything either.

I agree with other no harm in that short distance.

Thanks![/QUOTE]

The air filter came in first a few days before the header. With the air filter only installed I road the bike and not easy, the header the same way. The fp3 was last thing to arrive, I don't remember how many miles I road but it didn't hurt anything.

Like others said, you'll be fine for that short distance.
