Ok so I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a Stage 2 on my 22 SGST. Is the Screaming Eagle the only tuner for this bike that doesn’t void the warranty? Currently the bike is set up with all factory parts including the heavy breather. I did put some Tab 50 Cal slip-ons on. I was told i did not need a tuner with just slip ons. The dealer says they can go straight to a Stage 2 adding an exhaust. For a price of course.

 

Do not purchase a SE tuner until you get all the information. Do not consider a stage 2 until you full understand the difference in a HD stage 2 and a real stage 2.
Good luck

 

thanks Smitty. This is why I’m asking about this. Am i better off waiting for my factory warranty to be up and going with a “real” stage 2? I mean the bike runs great as it is honestly, but a little more power would be nice. I saw some DK Custom videos on the subject and they’re opinions of some of the popular tune and stage kits isn’t very flattering. And now i read that the EPA is gonna really put a damper on stage kits making them essentially the same as a SE

 

Yes wait. You will get a better product in both parts and tuner. You will save cash if you sharp smart. And chose a good shop you will get better work.
Stage 2 to be it's best must.
Have an exhaust that works well with your CAM choice.
Your cam choice must fit how you plan to ride it.
The tuner must have the ability to get it right. DYNO is not really necessary for a stage 2 The right map from will recognized company will do fine.
M8 with a good stage 2 is a very noticeable increase in Torque and HP. A Cam tailored to what you want. Not what some post was all that for them.
Pretty good list of CAMs for stage two.
No short cuts do it right or leave it alone.

 

If you have had it for years already, just go for a real stage 2 from the aftermarket.

I did it on day one. 4 miles on the ODO from my test ride.

 

I' m sorry but i'm going to have to disagree with some people here. A proper dyno tune using the Powervision or TTSMaster tune are absolutely going to deliver the best results. Who does engine improvements and doesn't want to get the most for their money? Do the right thing and have it tuned by a reputable tuning shop. Canned calibrations/Maps are just the starting point.

Your bike should have shown any warranty issues by now, if you’ve been riding it. I would do a real stage 2 whenever you want. Did mine at 200 miles.
