Air cleaner kit
So thinking about getting this. I see it says efi models.require recalibration and some other recalibration required. Do I have to get this done by Harley or is this something I can do?
Will it do any harm if I install and get tuned/calibrated a week later? Thanks
I have 17' 1200 customer Sportster.

The big question is are you ready to give up your warranty if you have any left? The big sucker your looking at should have a tuner to richen up your fuel system some. Your already running super lean and a wasted dealer download will still leave you super lean. The V&H FP3 tuner is a very good do it yourself tuner for the money. It will improve a stock bike all the way up to cams, intake and exhaust. You will spent upwards of $2000.00 doing a proper stage one upgrade. The FP3 has tunes for upgrades as you do them, so yes a tuner is one of the first things you need.

The old way was that you could get away with changing just slip on mufflers, but once you changed the air cleaner as well (essentially what is called a stage 1) you would need to recalibrate. That used to be able to be achieved by a dealer download to the ECM on the cheaper side or purchasing a tuner. I’m not sure if dealers even offer the downloads anymore. There are tuners that are less expensive than others that will work for minimalistic changes, but are limited if you start making a bunch of changes and wanted to dyno tune.
