Is anyone running aftermarket slipons with a stock headpipe, and an aftermarket air cleaner without a tuner or a flash? What's the worse that can happen?

 

burn up your engine and have the warranty claim denied

 

As soon as you add the air cleaner with the slip ons the AFR is going to be too lean. They are already really lean to begin with. Some say that the stock EFI can handle the addition of the slip ons without any issue; I have my doubts.

Pretty good reading, is it all true, that I dont know so take it as you will, just wanted to pass along. These guys say the M8 is not lean contrary to popular belief.

 

For me nothing except some loss of low end torque. Been running it this way for almost three years. Recently moved to the SE slipons and got some of that low end back.

I believe Jamie from Fuelmoto said the tune is much richer than previous years. I dunno. Seems fine regardless.

 

Wll I guess I can just try it and see. If it runs like crap I can form an aluminum plate and install it on the inner back side of the filter to block some flow.

 

or you could just get it tuned properly to optimize for best power and optimal running conditions I suppose

 

I suppose I could do that. I have a power vision from my last bike to do that but then there is the whole voided warranty thing. I don't really wanna void that just yet on a new bike with less than 1500 miles on it.

 

The screaming eagle tuner will get the tune right without voiding the warranty

 

I did same exhaust and a/c runs fine ,I have a powervision fuel moto mapped for my bike but didn't install yet. Bike is transferring badly like 16oz in 200 miles. Going in tomorrow to document, I know I'll be fixing it myself in the long run because they already told me there is nothing they can do about it except drain and replace, document and return.
They know how to fix it but admitting it and then recalling thousands of bikes is not something they want to do.Soooo they wait because they know people will find out how to fix it and aftermarket will fill in and problem solved. No money out of their pocket. My 17 didn't transfer this one I added to mid range mark rode 110 mi nothing on stick and this is after I added from first 200 mi
