It doesn't actually start writing to the ECM until it does all it checks and I think once past 25% you don't want to have a write failure.

It could well be your USB adapter as they are not all equal and reading the ECM and writing the ECM are different.

They only reliable USB adapter I have found to work other than the one you can buy with the TTS now is the Belkin F5U109 and I still use mine on my TTS since upgrading from the SERT.

In actual fact before TTS even had a USB adapter available it was the Belkin that most people used with the SERT although a few people had success with other brands the Belkin has never caused me a failure and I have flashed a lot of bikes over the years.

Sometimes the ECM won't accept certain maps, you can check and see if your ECM part number is listed and if not it won't download. Had this happen myself, need to choose another map

You might need to give us the exact word for word error message that came up when you tried to program the bike.

Also the name of the map and the version of the software you are using.

If you have a desktop computer with a serial port available and can get it close enough to the bike then you could see if it is a ECM or laptop problem.
Have you used this USB adapter for programming the bike before ?

I have an older lap-top that I use with the older tuners. The Belkin adapter works with my HP, but not so good with my Dell running windows 7.
