dont get bogged down with the dealer's bullshit. and find a dyno guy. i was anti-dyno for normal riders, but i have since been 'found'

get a tuner, let a competent guy tune it, and enjoy thousands of miles of problem-free riding.

You indicate a stage one download (waste of money), but you did not say that you have a high flow air cleaner to go along with the header and pipes. Are you still running the stock air cleaner?

The bike had the SE air cleaner installed along with the stage 1 download at time of purchase. Ran fine until I added the cat less head pipe. VIEDs fixed that except for the short hesitation about 5 minutes into riding from cold start. My last ride the hesitation lasted a little longer. Not sure why. Always runs great after the 5-10 seconds of hesitation. Bike is definitely not fully warm when this occurs.

I really appreciate all of the great feedback on this forum. I would post more if I didn't have to type on this goofy iPad screen.
