Will be picking up my White 08 SEU next week hopefully. Got a few question on additions. Want to add a SERT when they become available. Probably will wait till 1K checkup. I am not sure I will change the exhaust since I don't want a loud bike anymore. Thinking about putting the SE air filter on now, and deciding about the exhaust when I put the SERT on.

Does it make sense to put the air cleaner on now with out a more free flowing exhaust? Realize I won't see the full benefit of it. Is it a good idea? If I decide to keep the stock pipes will a SERT still benefit me in tunning for a little better performance and a cooler running engine? Thanks

Welcome, the way I understand it you can change mufflers but if you change AC you need to ad a tuning device and add canned map until you can have it dyno tuned to dial it in and beleive me a great tune makes all the difference. Good luck with it and once you get it right it will be way more fun to ride.

You should have the aircleaner done at the same time you get the SERT.  -Steve

orgtech,

I wouldn't change out the air cleaner until you also have the SERT installed.  And even with the stock pipes and/or air cleaner, a good tune will improve driveability and performance while helping to reduce engine temps.  In other words, even if you change nothing else, I would recommend that you add a SERT or other device and have the bike tuned.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll hold off on air cleaner untill I get the SERT and then decide on the pipes or not. Until then I'll just enjoy the ride.

Preemptive strike... 

 

When you get the bike and drive it home, get your camera out ASAP and post pics!!

Orgtech,

I will echo the advice others have offered;  until you can get a tuning device (SERT, PC, TMAX), I would probably leave the bike completely stock.

Regarding the exhaust: since you would like to keep it on the quite side, I would recommend that you consider the V&H TruDual Headers and then add slip-on mufflers of your choice.  The TruDual headers will enhance the performance, get some of the heat away from your right leg, and IMO improve the looks of the bike.

Again, I would just leave the bike stock until you can add a tuning device and get it dyno tuned.  The dyno tune is a MUST >> You won't regret it.

When you say "white" I am assuming you are getting the White and Silver combo?  I have heard that will be the next "wave" of colors coming in on the CVO Ultra.  I am hoping for either the White/Silver or Anniversary Combo.  Would be thrilled with either of those color combos... Please post a photo when you take delivery of yours...
