Got it done this weekend.

Installed the SE Pro Street Tuner and the K&N Hi Flow Purple Filter... Uploaded Default Stage 1 Map... Man that made a huge difference... Seriously! Engine and Throttle feels more free and unrestricted. I always felt like the bike was being held back but now it just wants more and more. Even if I didn't gain much power, it still feels like the bike is running better... Best part I'm still under warranty. 😁

If someone is riding around with just Slip Ons and think they don't need a tune... I would recommend get a tune anyway... It absolutely will help! And might as well upgrade that paper filter to a K&N. Not too expensive on an upgrade.

I can't imagine how the bike will respond after install the 447 and upload the stage 2 tune. Can't wait...

The SE tuner made the big difference for me... Don't think it was the upgraded filter. But for $65 I thought it was worth it to get the reusable K&N.

Keep in mind that the Ventilator Air Cleaner on these is already a high flow unit, the only difference between the Stock Ventilator and the SE version is literally the filter element from memory and you can get the K&N element for like 50 bucks and is good for 130HP. I would only change it out if doing a stage 3+ engine upgrade personally or if you want a different look.

I'm sure any tune is better than stock. Even without modifications.

I was planning on getting the FP4 but it would void my warranty and doesn't for with CAMS... I'm putting a 447 Cam in January. My XMax gift to myself 😁

sweet man.Not allowing the SE tuners in Europe is a bit shitty.I mean who is going to want to keep their Harley sounding like a bag of spanners?
