You can do it right from the showroom floor if you want to. Your biggest decision will be if you are going to do pipes only, or do the full stage 1 with reprogramming. There is a million different combinations so good luck with your choices.

So it will not affect the bike if I did it before the 500 mile in the user manual and if I decide to do only pipes change without full stage one is it OK for the bike
