Default New deuce owner tuner questions

Hey guys,

new to me 02 deuce DXI model. Has straight shots and just added stage one SE air cleaner. Do I really need a tuner? It has no oxi sensors and seems to run great.
What is the downside/upside to add a tuner?

Thanks in advance

Good Morning,
If the bike has open exhaust PLUS added air intake, then probably you need to have it retuned as it may run too lean.

I just bought an 07 Deuce that came with python staggered duals and a SE stage 1 intake. It didn't have a tuner when I bought it. It ran hot and I wanted to see what a tuner would do. I bought a power vision from Fuel Moto. Fuel Moto is awesome in their customer service and knowledge. The power vision came tuned by Fuel Moto for my pipes and intake. It made my bike run stronger, cooler, and I haven't had to make any adjustments since install. For the money I spent on the power vision, it was way worth it.
