The short answer to your question is absolutely a "yes." The dealer will be happy to sell you a Stage I download but it simply returns your bike to the showroom stock AFR which is mandated by the EPA to be pretty lean. If you're not looking to cool your motor down any or get a couple percentage points of performance boost then the dealer download is fine. Otherwise, there are lots of fuel tuners to choose from depending on the complexity you are looking for. As mentioned, the Dobeck is an awesome deal for the discounted forum price, is easy to install and use, and their customer service is the best!
