Personally even if this became possible for this bike and I tried it, I'd still prefer to check on the dyno and have the "hardwired" map tweaked by a fuel controller. Plus the added benefit of the fuel controller is the option to have a base map and then have auto-tune make fine adjustments on the fly for air temps, ram air, etc.
So when I get my full Akra exhaust how will the dealer re-map my bike? Have a look at this video specifically the screen at 4:45. It shows adjustments for idle and full load on the dealers tablet.Is this all they will adjust or is there a full map that's flashed to the ECU perhaps?

I think that you are missing the point here of tune ECU, it is a far more powerful a tool than a piggy back fuel controller. If you find a decent dyno operator, they will very successfully remap your bike (both closed and open loops) using tune ecu (including ignition mapping) and with a fly by wire setup, you could even change the throttle response to what you want it to be rather than the lame ramp up that you have to put up with (most of the highly tuned bikes are running quarter turn throttles here for sharper response).
That and a full diagnostics setup that is more powerful that the KTM unit... but sure... stick with your expensive piggy back that is not that powerful...
Tune ECU basically revolutionised what was possible with the SD, including being able to remove emissions crap without fault lights occurring (without having to use resisters etc, you simply told the ecu to stop looking for the removed part).
Plus you can always save the original map on your pc or even after tuning your bike on the dyno, you could run a PCV with an auto tune function (if you really wanted to)
