I would get a tuner as opposed to the remap. My bike had the remap when I bought it (used) and it ran like crap with it. And my opinion is yes, you need to do something or the bike will run too lean.

I have to agree.If you just did the pipes you would be fine with the stage 1 download.But adding a high flow A/C your bike would benefit from a better Fuel Tuner.Your bike will love you for it.
