Your Opinions on this, Pros and Cons. Thanks in Advance.

 

&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; the bikes run just fine from the factory.
Butt, IF you want it to run just a leetle bit better.................
it's never ending
either go for it or just sit back and enjoy

kickstart

 

Necessary?&nbsp\\; Probably not.&nbsp\\; Recommended?&nbsp\\; Definately.

 

I agree with Stro. I can tell a definite difference in throttle response and off the line reaction since I got my stage 1. I also am for some reason getting approximately 15% better fuel mileage than before the upgrade.

 

Yes and if you can, do the stage ii big bore kit at the same time.&nbsp\\; Takes your 96 to 103 and man will your scoot get up and go.

 

I just got the SEAC last week.&nbsp\\; What a difference in performance.&nbsp\\; I liked the stock, but the increased air flow makes a noticeable difference.&nbsp\\; I am still running stock pipes and looking at SE II or V&amp\\;H ovals.

 

Done properly with a tuner like a PC or SERT you will gain about 10hp/8tq and a much cooler running motor.

 

If they run better then stock which they do. When they set the bike's up at the factory it would not cost HD any more money to produce a cooler running&nbsp\\;more HP and better proforming bike. But then we would not be spending the extra $ for the up grades.

 

The&nbsp\\;throttle response and torque improvement is very noticeable, but nobody is twisting your arm. If you are looking for an excuse, just do it.

 

The bike runs fine stock, IMO, and the MoCo warranttees it that way (and you know they wouldn't make a bike that wold cost them money to keep on the road).

But I wonder if the nature of Stage I is about to change. The Nightrider O2 IEDs & XiEDs do almost everything "Stage I" (if not everything) does for a fraction of the cost and time involved.
