Mine popped and ran less than stellar without a tuner. Too lean. Some say you can, but I didn't like hearing it sound that bad. I threw on a V&H FP3 and had it tuned and running great in about 10 minutes. Stupid easy.

What type of V&H exhaust. If they're radically different from stock (i.e: short shots), the yes you'll a need a tune.

You won't break your bike running without a tune, It just won't run as nice and not perform to its potential.

A good tune is a night and day difference.
