i know with alot of the sportbikes you can just get them re-mapped and don't need a power comander. i bought an 04 gsxr 750 and put an exhaust with no pc on it. my friend is the service mgr at a local shop and he just hooked it up to a computer and re-mapped it. any kind of idling or hesitation problem was gone. as for your bike eventually blowing up, i wouldn't worry too much about that. there are other minor things that could happen before it gets that bad. i would call your local shop or stop buy and talk to a mechanic. they usually give you a more honest answer than the service people. good luck and enjoy your new ride!:D
