Have you check to see if the bike still runs?

Is this the first time you've used your SERT? Are you using a serial port adapter on a newer laptop that doesn't have an actual serial port, and also are you running Vista? Only certain adapters work properly like the Belkin, and I've heard that Vista can cause some problems.

Get a Belkin USB to Serial adapter, I guarantee it'll work. I got the same "Bootloader" message when I tried another brand.

the older sert does not reliably work with vista, look for an xp pc with serial connector to reduce trouble. Find the final release of the sert software 4.77, some maps are reworked
