Tune question

I know it's probably been asked a ton of times. But I have a slim fls and bought big radius pipes. Will it hurt my engine if I put the pipes with no tune and no air cleaner? Thanks in advance. Sorry for the boot question.

Generally no. Your ECM will compensate for a pipe install. OR a hi-flo A/C install. But...NOT BOTH! For that, you need a tuner.

Doing both pipes and air cleaner is a stage 1 and that needs a tuner. But like Dickey said, doing one or the other doesn't need it.

you do not need one. but I highly suggest you get a power vision from fuelmoto.

I have no upgrades (yet) but I have the tuner with a map for stock. there is quite a difference in the way the bike runs.

this weekend I am installing a stage 1 a/c, I will be getting a new map from fuel Moto.

Since its your bike you can DO anything you want...is it right, good for the bike, gonna run right or to its potential...not decel pop like firecrackers on the 4th of july? The answer to all the above is a resounding NO! Ask ALL those that say no you dont need a tuner and that the ecm will compensate, how much dyno, tuning experience they have and if they are going to cover YOUR losses when the ringlands come off your pistons!

I can't say enough good things about the Dyno Jet Powervision. The only thing I did wrong was not purchasing mine from Fuel Moto. It's the only tuner you'll ever need and it's simple to use. The folks at Fuel Moto will work with you to get your bike perfectly tuned.
