Newbie Q: How do I download a HD map?
#1

I'm new to EFI. I'm doing a mild stage 1; AC, XIED's, MGS slip-ons to my '12 RKC. I'm reading that it would be good to download a HD Stage 1 map.
Great. But how? How do I get it, and how do I load it into the bike? Or is this something my dealer needs to do?
Is it really even needed considering my mods?
Thanks for the help!

I'll let others answer the "is it needed" question, but my gut says at least kinda. I the bike is lean from the factory, your stage 1 gonna force even more air into an already lean bike.
I would buy a power vision from fuel moto, and get free maps for life. I paid the dealer for the stage 1 map, and just threw my $$ away. But, I'm doing other motor mods.... Cam, maybe heads one day, etc. If you never plan to do upgrade the motor ever again, maybe a power vision isn't worth it to you.... It's around $500-$550

Agreed that the download from the dealer is wasted $$ if you plan any future upgrades. If that's all your ever going to do and never add cams or big bore then it may work for your budget. If you are going to add a aftermarket tuner see Jammie from Fuel Moto ether a PC5 or PC Vison are the top picks
My opinion is if the dealer does the add on's they should throw the download in for free, but that will never happen.

If you buy a decent tuner ( recommend a Power Vision ) you will always be able to make adjustments and modifications on the original bike it's originally installed on. If you sell the bike you can "relicense" the Power Vision for a fee. This way you would also save the money from the XIED's. DO NOT WASTE your money on a DEALER DOWNLOAD.
