Default Deuce help

I have a 2003 fuel injected deuce. It has the stage 1 air cleaner and I am installing a spike air cleaner in its place. Question is, will I need to do any extra tuning or should I be good to go? Thanks in advance for any help.

Pipes? What are you running? Whether you need a tuner or not depends on whatelse has been done. Which tuner depends on what you're gonna do, if anything. let us know so we can help you out.

I am running the V&H Pythons. Bought the bike about 3 weeks ago so I am not sure what else has been done to it. I guess the best thing to do is take it in and have them check it out. Thanks for your advice.

If you're planning on doing engine mods, like cams or a big bore kit and such, I'd recommend a Power Commander III from FuelMoto. If you plan on leaving it the way it is, I suggest a Dobeck TFI/DFO. The Dobeck unit is extremely simple and effective for simple mods. Had one on mine.

If you're just swapping out the cleaner, then no, not really.

If ur just swaping intakes U are good to go. I would look for signs of a tuner under the seat. If no tuner. Would suggest looking into one. To get full benefit of the stage 1. Fuelmoto guys are very helpful
