Upgrade now or wait till spring?
With a little luck I'll be getting my 1000 my service done before the bike goes into winter storage. I have been thinking about having pipes, SE Stage-1 and SERT done during the 1000 mile service, but given that I likely won't be doing much riding for the next few months I've been debating about holding off until spring. My biggest concern is that if I have the work done, including a dyno tune if I don't ride it much I won't know if there is something wrong until spring and it might be harder to take it back to the shop to make it right. Just thought I would check to see what you all think....do it now or wait until spring??

Lots of dealers have specials going on, and the "elbo grease" deal is going on that knocks a 100 bucks off instalation of some items. You would get it back faster now than in the spring when everyone is getting them ready to go to bike week or for the riding season too.

I would do it now.Not as busy in service depts in the fall and maybe some discounted work.Ask the service mgr. what their labor warranty is and if there is a problem next spring,are they going to stand behind their work.Get it in writing on the work order so there is no misunderstanding next spring.

Do it now and get it done cheaper with the winter specials. Spring is a very busy time in the service depts.

Thanks guys, I was kind of leaning toward doing it now....just have to find a way to get the cost past the wife. She knows I'm planning to do it, but probably doesn't know how much it will cost....looks like I better sweeten things up around home for the next couple weeks.
