Unless any Carpedian(s) can offer direct help, it may be best to drop a line to Scorpion? (Sadly they don't seem to have a phone-in helpline). Tuning needs may depend on what cans you have.

If it are just slip on cans you most likely won't have to change a thing. If it's an entire set (including the front bends etc.) than the bike will need a tune up.

I'll let go of my throttle when they pry it from my cold, dead hands...

dK's right - sorry, that's what I meant by it depending on the system: my slip-ons didn't call for re-tuning but some other fitments would have. Wise to check, though you're right about the "warm welcome"!

Maybe dandywarhol or others could comment on the needs/benefits of re-tuning c/w the availability of PowerCommander maps for Scorpions if you wanted to go down that route?
