I'm relatively new to the site, and I am sure that somewhere on here this subject has probably been covered, perhaps to death...but here goes. I have a new 2019 Tri Glide. I want to install a less restrictive air intake/cleaner. I'm not talking about a blower here, just move some more air. I had a 2014 Indian Chief with a high flow cleaner on it and never remapped anything or added a tuner, etc...ran wonderfully for over 30k miles. So I go onto the Harley Web $ite and of course they are saying I need a tuner if I change the intake/cleaner.
Of course the tuner is sold separately from the appropriate cables...an additional $400.00 or so for the separate items. I can't seem to get a straight answer on whether or not making an intake change without remapping will have any impact on the warranty. I personally can't believe that the new M8 motor can't compensate for some added air. I mean I know I get more oxygen at sea level than I do in Denver and the bike can compensate...correct? The 114 is already more power than I will probably ever use, but who doesn't like more power and a louder intake wonk when you hit the throttle. Going to leave the stock exhaust...I'm over really loud bikes years ago. Thoughts, suggestions, kick me in my pants???
