Default Fuel Tuner necessary?

Can I put a slip-on on my SG without losing low end torque? I plan no other performance upgrades.

No and no, just a slip-on is not really a performance upgrade, just makes more noise.

A tuner wouldn't hurt and wouldn't be a bad idea.

Since the bike comes from the factory running lean, id consider researching tuners. Go to a couple local tuners and get some professional opinions.

I really like my Powervision. Download a programmed tune in minutes, change or remove it if you make mechanical changes, Also can fine tune for decel popping.
Best $400 I've spent.
