OK, just got thru to them on the phone, spoke with Art. He said call back tomorrow and speak to Jim about a Dyno quote using a SERT, but he thinks its around $300. Also, with a SERT, the scoot would have to be left there all day.
I don't think so.....

I bought a custom SERT map from Latus HD today. They apparently create them on their Dyno for local customers and then save/sell them to people with matching components. That is my assumption anyway. For $50, its worth a try.

77hp after Jim Sabin's handy work on my PCIII.
Big Sucker
Side Shots
otherwise stock
I'm back up to 39 mpg and the bike runs like a top. I ran 200 miles today and it was awesome. I'm doing 600-800 miles this weekend so I'll get a better feel for it on twisty roads. When I get back, I'm going to try switching the PCIII soft accellerator pump back on and see how it feels.

Where is everybody on their dyno results? I am still in need of a tune.

Finally had a chance to drop it off this past weekend as I was out of town, but don't know the results yet. Initially used the Screamin' Eagle Dyno Jet kit and Jim was attempting to tune, but the Dyno Jet kit was making it run horribly while I was there. Will f/u with more info when I pick up the bike.

RE: Sabin Performance - Dallas?
When Jim Sabin tuned my bike, he started with a blank map and built on it based on the DJ readings. He uses the latest DJ software (DynoLink?) that doesn't require the tuner to manually configure the PCIII based on the readings he sees. He tuned the bike sitting on it to provide rider weight load. His dyno has programmable resistance/loads against rear wheel based on DJ software input. After tuning the first cylinder, he starts over and tunes the rear separately as it runs hotter than the front. I've heard other tuners just copy the front map to the rear.
The best part of Sabin's work was that he invited me in and let me watch the entire process. And he took the time to explain what he was doing and why it was important. Many tuners wanted me to drop off the bike and pick it up later. The whole process took about 2.5 hours and cost $200. It was worth EVERY penny.
I can't vouch for Sabin's SERT work, but based on his knowledge of tuning in general, I suspect he has his sh*t together and I would trust him.
