Default Tuning Question

Current set up is SERT....Hi-Flow Air Cleaner.... Vance & Hines Dresser Duals....Rineharts. Question is if I change over to Monster Ovals do I have to take the bike in for 3 more hours of dyno time and tuning or can i just install the Monster Ovals and ride?

From what i understand: If its fuel injected it needs to be tuned on a dyno, Iam going through a similar issue. You may ride it , If the bike pops, studders , dies, gets hot better off getting it retuned, The tunner may find some more horsepower .
These fuel injected bikes are very sensetive to exhaust and air breather changes .
Alot of people just say ride it.

You may be just fine since the M.Ovals are a bit more restrictive.
