RE: Race Tuner Error
Riding it around the block is out for now. [:@]Damn ice is still on the roads next to all the snow.
It seems to be running OK for now while sitting, no problems noticible when blipping the throttle... Looks like I'll be calling the dealer in the morning to talk to someone to be sure. In the meantime, Ill leave it all open.
I'll also look into that cable.

RE: Race Tuner Error
I am starting to wonder if I can stop all the confusion and just roll the bike under hte window where my desktop is at and just run the program from there. Might make my life easier as it HASa serial port.

I bought the Screamin' Eagle EFI Race tuner to help me with the fuel ratio because I changed air cleaner and exhaust.
I got it all hooked up, it was able to acquire the ECM info, went to program the ECM, and to stops at 25% each time saying;
"Unable toInstall bootloader, Quitting"

For me I just re-booted the computer and tried it again and it worked ok.
As others have said, get theBelkin F5U409V1 or hook it up to your 9 pin on your desktop computer.
Good luck.

RE: Race Tuner Error
Well because I am mostly stubborn, I brought home the 25 pin to 9 pin adapter to try that out hoping for something. Well, I forget that 25 pin ports are LPT ports, and the program is lookig for COM ports. No joy.
*shrugs* So, I will be moving the bike to the "service window" of my house this weekend when I don't have to rush it before the temp drops into the low teens after the sun goes down. (I don't have the luxury of a garage, I store them in the enclosed bike trailer and do what work I can in there during the colder/snowier months)
I'll let you guys know how it goes. In the meantime, I may be looking for another laptop...

RE: Race Tuner Error
Good luck - I usually hit the "get ecm info" choice a few times until it reads every time. Make sure you're loading a correct map. Make sure kill switch is off (not in kill mode). Other than that, agree, probably the USB adapter. I've been in the PC Service industry since the first PC's - have built MANY serial cables. Would not worry about connecting a couple together and 50-60 feet should work fine. Can't you move your desktop closer?
