Maybe you're not grasping the concept here. Lorance is basically tuning his bike on his own. So, "not needed" is sort of an open-ended question.

I used My Tune and had good results. It is a great Software, but when I got Smart Tune I figured I didn't need it anymore.

I think what you are saying is that the newer SEST software includes Smart Tune whichs also intelligently adjusts the VE tables based on Data Runs. The TTS has a simular feature called VTune.

Occasionally my dealer has a trailer set up in the parking lot giving a free 4th gear dyno pull. I think I'll do that next time that's going on just for kicks. Ha, this is the first time in my bike's life it has ever hit the rev limiter! I hate hearing them rev so hard haha.

The MyTune software developer claims the algorithms used by MyTune are better than whatever the Smart Tune feature uses. Still, my main purpose being losing the knock, the Smart Tune feature does not do spark advance tables.

I for one would be very interested to know the outcome if you get a chance at the Dyno.

Thank you! and cool! That is reassuring to hear. If I am not mistaken, the MyTune software would work with the TTS tuner as long as you can copy/paste your tables from TTS to MyTune. Hope you get yours all worked out too!
Do you have about the same setup on your engine as I do? (VH BR 2-2 and SE Heavy Breather on mine) (No other performance mods)

Do you guys mind if I ask in this thread,the advantages(or not)of TTS over SEPST.
It seems the forums I read each concentrate on a particular Tuner,& I don't read much about the SEPST,I didn't realise till I read this thread that SEPST could be adjusted by an owner,like TTS can(hope i've got this right).

I did not know a home user could modify anything either but I am learning. When I first decided to do this you should have seen me. I found a USB cable and tried to hook the SEST up to my laptop and look at stuff, of course nothing happened. So I ask questions....I actually bothered Frank at MyTune quite a bit but he is so helpful. To make a long story short I ordered the interface cables from TTS and then I was more dangerous. So now I see there is a proprietary cable that goes from the bike to the serial port on the SEST and then the USB cable to the laptop. So I hook it up.....nothing. So I bug Frank again and he tells me I have to have the HD software too. Geez....so, I procure a copy and NOW it is all making sense.
So anyway, if you have the SERT or SEST you will definitely need the HD software ($29.99). (MyTune is optional) I can get you the HD part # if you need it. If you get the TTS it should have the software with it but be sure to get cables too. Once you have this (and I cannot speak for TTS) you can use MyTune or even change numbers manually and reflash your ECM. If you end up working with the SERT or SEST, send me a PM and I can help you as far as basics on how to save a map and do a reflash, etc.

I do not know a whole lot about either but I think the TTS one and the SEST are somewhat equal.
