Does a SERT have to be installed at a dealer ? If so why ? What are the differences in the versions. Have an 03 FLRTI. Was wondering if the new versions cover the newest model year bike for the year the version comes out or are there actually improvements to the newer versions that would help with an 03 bike ?

No, the SERT is only a "key" or "port" adapter that allows you to connect your computer to the ECU to either upload map files or download run data. It's done easily yourself but the map file must be created by a competent tuner or, second best, obtained from someone with matching bike mods. Per my limited knowledge, the SERTs are all the same, the software & accompanying library of map files (tuner cals) are constantly being updated and added to. Hope this helps some.

Let me ask it this way, are there any differences in the versions D,E or G ?
The "G" will contain everyting that's in the "E" plus more. The "E" will contain everything that's in the "D" plus more. Always buy the latest version, and you can buy software upgrades (about $20).
