Call Fuel Moto and ask them, they are the Pros when it comes to tuners.

Bike has stock intake.... is a tuner required for it to run right?
Yes, you removed an emissions part and eventually the engine is going to start throwing a CE light.
What tunes to choose, well let the debate begin.

If your content with mediocre performance and a hot running bike, just ride it. How far are you from gMR performance in ft worth? One of the top tuners in the country.

Easy for me to say because its not my money but a stage 1: Decat. Slip On's, High Flow A/C, and a good tune will make you love your bike more and it will love you back when you roll on the new found power. Stage 1 is a must for me.

… and then the fun begins big bore, cams, porting etc,,,
