Default SE Tuner Question
Dumb question, but I just installed some SE255 cams, should I tune it with my SE street tuner before I hit the go button for the first time?

FYI my bike is already tuned for the stage 1 it currently has on it.

Or should I start it and do the couple quick break in cycles and then tune it??

Thanks.

-Matt

If you have the cables, download the tune for the cams first. Then after break-in, do some record runs to fine tune.

Thanks that’s what I thought and that’s what I’ll do. I already have the cables and tuner of course as I’ve already tuned it for the stage 1 that’s on the bike now.
