Think of it how you may, but that is the answer to their issues, since Indian has failed miserably to make every one of their FTRs run the same.
People ask for a solution, "get a tune" is the one solution that 99% of the time works. Since, as of now, there is nothing your dealer or Indian can/will do to resolve ones running issues, even with the oem 2.0 tune. Whomever the owner decides they want tuning their bike or their dealer, is where questions such as warranties should be directed, not a forum.
And yes if someone is that worried about their warranty, they shouldnt alter a single thing on their bike for two years.
New EPA regs are what killed smooth running vehicles, i tune every new vehicle i buy right off the lot, same with bikes. I personally rather have a well running machine i can enjoy, than "deal" with its quirks for years waiting for a warranty that may or may not be voided to run out. Thats been my stance for over a year with the FTR, and its well known, forum mod or not.
