Default SERT Program same as HD Dwnld?

Sitting here looking over the download program for my bike contained on the SERT disk, I find myself wondering if it is the same download programmed into my ECM when I had the stage 1 done. Once I connect to the ECM I should know. But, before doing that, do any of you know for sure if its the same program or not?

It depends on which download they installed on your bike. There should be the typical Stage I, Stage II, etc contained on the CD-ROM.

Yes it will be the same as the Stage1 download from HD, That's why you load it and then take the bike and get dyno tuned

That's why I bought the SERT instead of throwing $150 out the door on there download it went towards the SERT so that i could get the best performance out of the bike with a dyno tune.

Actually, you can't view what is already in the ECM. All you can do is choose to load a new MAP or modify a MAP and then load it. If you make any changes to a MAP, save it to a new name, that way you don't overwrite your original program. This isn't a problem with MAP's that are stored on the CD but as you tune you will be making lots of changes. And if you have a MAP that you like and you change it, you might forget what was changed. Thats makes it hard to get back to where you were.

Springer - I should be able to determine which program is currently being used by the ECM once I toggle over to "ECM Information". At least it seems logical that the current program ID number would be displayed along with the VIN and EMC PN. It should list the program in "Cal ID" I would think.

Anyhow, I wasn't going to waste time using the SERT and dumpiing the identical program into the ECM that may have been used initially over at the dealership whe the stage 1 was done. Besides, I intend on changing pipes before spring, anyway. That's when I anticipate having the SERT and doing the dyno will pay off.

My mistake, I read stage 1, but I was thinking Stock ECM without a download. It was late when posted I should of been [sm=sleeping.gif][sm=sleeping.gif]

No problem, Springer.

After considerable research on my part, I have settled on an exhaust system. A 2 into 1 D&D "Fat Cat" is on the way. Once the Fat Cat is installed, I'll do the dyno using the SERT. I'll post how it turns out.
