Default 1k Mile Service, take out Tuner or not?

My 09 SG just broke 100 miles and its time for the 1k service. Im taking it to the dealer for the first service and then probably do the rest myself. AnywayI have the Stage 1 from Fuel Moto (AC, PCV and Dynotuned JAckpots) on the bike, it runs great with no issues. But would I be better off taking the AC and PCV off before taking it in to avoid any dealer hassle?

should be fine... could always do the service yourself, spend the money on a manual and save a few hundred $$

I wouldn't bother. If they want to know if you used an aftermarket tune, the computer readout will tell them. I doubt they'd even hook it up for the 1000 mile inspection.

Unless there is a problem with the motor,no.
Your just getting an exspensive oil change

Seems like you're handy enough with a wrench to install that stuff... Why take it to the dealer for the 1k service?

There are a handful of other things that are supposed to be checked/adjusted. It's a little more than just an expensive oil change.

The owners manual will detail everything that is supposed to be addressed at each service interval.
