Upgraded Component Coverage
no one is making you wait. that is a decision that you are making for yourself. there is literally no one that will warranty aftermarket parts, especially performance parts, with the factory warranty.
now, there are some esp's that you can purchase that will cover your aftermarket parts. check with jim palmer motorcycleagent.com

If you want coverage for the aftermarket components, we can look at the Eagle Guardian Plan. Your upgraded components are covered just like they were there when built from the factory.

I only did a dyno tuned Stage 1 on my 107, but left my 114 alone as it pulled stronger through the gears..no an OEM cam won't set you back in your seat, stretch your arms and give you that adrenaline and eyeball watering punch..but it is smooth and linear power band that by 4500 rpm has given every last bit it has to offer.....but by then having gone thru the gears you'll have crushed every speed limit there is easily...I've moved past wanting to spend money, fuss over things, potentially reduce reliability, go deaf, buy more tires and max out my Chevron credit card every trip....I just enjoy racking up miles of fun

if somebody cannot quickly and easily exceed the speed limits with a stock 114 then they should take 6 months off and then quit riding for good....these don't need a Stage 2..people like, prefer and want them because it provides more fun from adrenaline rush which is perfectly understandable....been riding for many years with friends and couples who are, to try and put nicely, rather plump and even when they had stock 103s they could keep up on road trips bombing along down the highways. I could easily lose my license every time I ride my stock 114 from going way faster than is allowed by law, just sayin'

I have to disagree here (pretty crazy huh) because the key word is........ "On my 2020 EGS with a 107 the stage 2 was a big improvement. A 114 may not need it"

You can purchase a moped that will exceed the speed limit, but highly unlikely it’s gonna put a smile on your face doing it. I know there are tons of people who are perfectly happy with the stock power of any flavor M8, I just like to poke fun here because I am not one of those people. The stock 107, 114, and 117 just did absolutely nothing for me. I am a power junkie and I’ve got to have way more than these stock M8’s put out or I’m bored with it after a few days, that’s just me and I know not everyone feels the same way and that is perfectly fine, that’s why I said I like to poke fun here about it, it’s all just fun and if stock does it for you then that’s great and I mean that (even if I do bust ***** about it) I’m sure as I age that need will lessen (possibly) but I’m still a strapping young(ish) buck and I’ve got to feed my need!
