Direst link from TechnoResearch?
Anybody heard of this? The local Dyno guy is pushing it. Apparently it reprograms the ECU.

The only possible downside to this system is that the unit which allows talking to the bike and creating maps is not in itself sufficient to write those maps to the bike, as I understand it. So if you're playing around at home and want to try something, you'll have to go to the guy who has the other part of the system and have him write the file to the bike. Right?
Either that, or get all the parts necessary, but as I understand it, the comparison to a standalone system like the SERT/SEST/TTS in terms of price for working on just one (or optionally two with the TTS) bikes starts to fail. Not to mention that with those three others you can log operational data. I believe the SEST will do that on its own and download the data later to a computer. The other two require a running Windows session to datalog.
So it depends what you want to do. If you're not the tinkering sort, the Direct Link, with a readily available writing component, might be the cheapest cost of entry. If you're wanting to do stuff yourself at home, the entire system is quite expensive in relation to, say, the TTS tuner.
They will all lock themselves to one bike. With the TTS you can go two bikes for not twice the price. With the DL system, you can migrate to another bike for the cost of the USB key at any time, and maintain access to as many at a time as you want. With the SERT/SEST/TTS you must duplicate some of the hardware anew with each additional bike because both parts of the DL system are in the one box with these others. So in that sense, the number of bikes you want access to at any given time will be a valid consideration in the cost evaluation.
In terms of ultimate capability they're all about the same, with the nod decidedly going to the TTS tuner. It has some new adjustments available and has excellent software for autotuning, or at least helping to tune, the bike, to a solid 90%.

glens,
Where did you get this information?
When reading what you get from that site, unless I am seeing wrong, it appears that the direct link kit is pretty much the same as the SERT.
I am sure there are differences, but it does say that you can program the ECU if you buy the kit.
Like the OP I am very interested in what the true capabilities of the Direct Link are.
Quote:
ˇ Re-flash calibrations maps via serial programming into the ECU.
ˇ Modify the following tables: front & rear cylinder fuel & spark table, AFR, Warm-
up,
Cranking, Idle, Acceleration, Rev-limiter, and more.
ˇ Auto tuning
ˇ Fuel & Spark table real time cell tracing (displays your current location on
map tables making it even easier to make a map)
ˇ Option to simultaneously modify both front and rear spark & fuel tables
ˇ View data using Strip Chart or Gauge/Meter format
ˇ Data logger feature: Automatic or Manual modes.
ˇ Alternate data capture positions: start/middle/end
ˇ User-friendly toolbar buttons: Gauge Monitor, Strip Chart Monitor, Log View, etc.
ˇ Logged or real-time data (RPM, TPS, PWM, 02 Sensor, etc)
ˇ Graph/Trace color settings
ˇ External Lambda sensor
ˇ Interfaces with Gas Analyzer
ˇ Interfaces with Wideband Oxygen Sensor Controllers such as:
Wego II & Wego III (Daytona Twintec),
LM-1 & LC-1 (Innovate Motorsports)
AFM-1000 (Engine Control & Monitoring)
M300 (PLX-Devices))
SM-AFR (PLX-Devices)
Uego (AEM)
Wideband Commnander (Dynojet)
ˇ Runs on MicrosoftŽ Windows™ Vista/XP/2000/NT/Me/98 ťScreen Shots
ˇ English or Metric units.
