Default Stage 1 now?

Iam wanting to pick up Fuel Moto A/C pair of slip-ons and an FP3. Need to get a little more sound , too quiet for me. My question is I only have 125mi.. should I wait until my 1000mi break in with new fluids?? Also what gains should I expect? Iam seeing 5-10hp and 5-10tq on the forums?

No reason you can't do the stage 1 now. Just continue to follow the break-in procedure of your choice.

I did A/C, V&H Power duals, V&H twin slash rounds slip-ons, and Thundermax at 300 miles...........Got 1,300 now. Definitely more powerful; don't know the actual numbers though.

Do it now but hold off on a dyno pull (if you plan on one) until after your break in is over.

Get passed the 500 mile mark and your good to go. You can do the 1000 mile service then too.
