Although you don't need to make changes to the fueling, there are some options that can improve the "rideability" for as little as $80 all the way up to $1200.
Here is a quick summary:
FATDUC Manipulator :Works on closed loop systems with a single O2 sensor like the 695, S2R1000, S4R and S4RS. This modifies the O2 sensor signal to the ECU to smooth out throttle response and eliminate popping. You will have to play with it a little but it solves most minor issues when installing a new exhaust. It is not designed to make changes in the mapping. Power Commander (PC3):Modifies the signal to the ECU so you can creste your own maps. Available for the

Monster S4 01-06, S4R -06, ST3/4, [
S2R 800[ .
Rapid Bike (RB3): Also a piggyback system like the PC3, but it allows for a ignition mods and has an O2 sensor option so you can retain the closed loop system on some bikes. These are available for bikes such as
