Once you add an intake or exhaust to a Milwaukee-Eight, a tuner is what makes the bike run right — correcting the air/fuel mixture for more power, smoother throttle, and cooler running. The best choice depends on whether you want plug-and-play simplicity or full custom control. Here are the top tuners for the M8 (107, 114 and 117).

Buying tips
- A tuner pays off most after you change the intake and/or exhaust — that’s when the stock map is furthest off.
- For the simplest experience, the Fuelpak FP4 tunes from your phone; for staged builds, the Power Vision 4 is more capable.
- The best results come from an auto-tune (wideband) setup or a dyno session — a canned map is just a starting point.
- Confirm Gen 1 vs Gen 2 M8 compatibility before buying; tuners and maps differ between them.
- Keep a copy of your stock tune; you may need to flash back for warranty or service visits.
