Re: [ST] Stalling



As far as the tune goes, I told my dealer at both the 12k and 24k service 
"do not update the tune".  The bike runs perfectly and I don't see any sense 
in messing with it.  He agreed, so I'm still running the tune that came with 
my bike back in '01.  I've done no mods to exhaust, airbox, etc...
