Default Xied for new bikes

This looks like good option the the guy looking to do a stage. I’m not looking for a perfect tune, just better with the stage 1. What I like about this is that it doesn’t change the stock tune. Take bike to dealer and the plug in and HD is non the wiser. I don’t think my dealer would rat me out. I’ve bought 4 bikes in 5 years from them and getting ready to buy a Freewheeler for the wife. They know I’m not afraid to drive another 45 minutes to another dealer.

I did the harley tuner when I first bought my 2017 and just recently got a powervision thru fuel moto. It saves the stock tune but you can do so much more and actually tune it to your riding style. I can always go back to a stock tune when I bring it to my dealer but most of the shops around here don't mind the aftermarket stuff on the M8's.

That would work also. Just want to make every effort to retain warranty. As long as it can go back to stock with no evidence that it was ever modified, that would work. I don’t think the dealer would rat me out, but I’m pretty sure they do t have any control over digital technical communicating with HD.

The dealer will know it was flashed, even if you put the original tune back on.

Not worried about dealer. They will also see the pipes and air cleaner, but the only way HD is going to know about it is if they pick up the phone. That would be the last dollar they see from me and they know it.

question is, will digital tech know it has been flash then returned to stock tune?

Yes, last flash is logged by date and time in the ECU.
