Default exhaust system

Im going to install a fullsac true dual system and probably screaming eagle pipes and I was wondering if it will damage my bike if im not able to get the fuel system adjusted right away? Any help would be great.

um yeah you will need a fuel management system before you do any of that. It will lean out your bike and eventually blow up the motor. So I would advise you to get some type of management for it.

As long as you haven't installed a AIR KIT you should be ok for a short period of time... Just keep a eye on the spark plug condition

if you're just going to change the exhaust and the a/c and no internal engine mods I'd go with the Vance & Hines fuel pak.....u can find it on the web for around $200

Well, I'm no mechanic, but, if you have an 07 or newer bike, you don't need to do anything. Just change the system. The O2 sensors on the 2007 and later models will accomodate up to 30% difference in the way exhaust systems breathe. No aftermarket exhaust is going to differ more than 30% from the stock system.

Selling power commanders and so forth is just a way for dealers to make more money. You won't hurt your motor. The bike will run great.

How do I know this? Because when I got my 07 RK custom I changed the exhaust right away and then obviously had the power commander installed. It ran like ****. After two attemps to figure out what was wrong the dealer realized that it was a bad power commander. They looked into the situation more and realized that it wasn't necessary to do anything. And that came straight from the mechanic's shop manual.

Some dealers now know this and some don't. Those that tell you you need to remap things are either in the dark about this or they are just looking to make more money by selling you parts and labor that you don't need.
