Got a 2014 Storm and been thinking about going with a Dave Platt setup but now second guessing myself.
The majority of my travels are from 6000 - 10,000 feet, lots of mountain riding. Am I going down a rabbit hole
by going away from the factory setup? Anybody else live in the hills that's been down this road?

IMHO don't think it will change the bike's performance all that much at altitude. The modern fuel injection compensates for that. I have BC predators, no cat, with the TORs tune. I have taken it over a few high passes in the Sierras in CA and the T'bird didn't even flinch.

Look for some posts from Narsisco Lopez on here. He's since sold his Bird, but was a regular out of Denver. He pokes in once in a while, but riding a KTM adventure bike means he's been MIA for a while.

He did a bunch of stuff on his bike, and I recall some exhaust and tuning, too.

just make sure you have the TOR tune on the bike and you will be fine.
