Wow, after reading through the .pdf that came with the tuner software, reading through the sticky for the SEPST and watching a couple of youtube videos I think I am experiencing information overload...everytime I think I have a good approach for tuning I find something new that adds ten more questions in my head.
Since I didn't have it set to advanced tuneing yesterday I am starting all over this morning. I will set the software for advanced tuning and go make some recorded runs from 0-60mph holding for about 8 seconds at each 5 mph interval as suggested. I'll update the base map with the corrections smarttune suggests.
Anyone care to chime in on the next step? Also, I am assuming that each time I flash the updated map after smart tuning I should continue to check the smarttune box until I am finished tuning?

Okay, I loaded the base map onto the ECM and then recorded about three runs holding steady throttle every 5 mph up through the gears and updated the map with those generated by smarttune. I also did one run at WOT in 4th, 5th and 6th gears and updated the map on the bike. What's my next step? I have not changed the AFR settings. Most are set to 14.6 still.

So, have you npticed any improvements with what you have done so far?

Harleytuner, yes I have noticed improvement. The throttle response seems smoother and more responsive than before.
So each time I save changes to the map and load it to the bike, should I always check the enable smarttune?
When I see very few changes being made how do I approach setting the correct AFR?

Wish I had seen your post the other day instead of today...........You might want to consider--or return and purchase a Thundermax from Zippers (available from many places) This thing is the best out there.....automatically tunes itself. Their online tutorial makes it simple to do--trust me I'm not a genius but it really is easy. I've a few friends who junked their SE setups and PC boxes and never looked back. Educate yourself and go online to see it. You won't be sorry.

harleytuner, many thanks for all the help so far. I will get out and do some more recorded runs tomorrow. pled55, it is moving along pretty well. So far I have been happy with my choice. I can only say that I am very thankful for the help I have received here because I would be completely lost without it. I can't fairly compare this tuner to the PC3 I don't suppose because I didn't have the PC3 dyno tuned. But I can say that if you are not going to dyno tune right away, the SEPST seems to be a very good choice. Seems like you can get it a lot closer with the SEPST without dyno tuning. The base map I loaded was running better than the can map I was using in the PC3. Again, not knocking the PC3, just like the SEPST better for the way I am using it.
fairfax1000, I cannot return the SEPST. It says on the box that once the seal is broken it cannot be returned. I looked at the Thundermax but it was priced a little higher than what I wanted to shell out right now. Plus I pretty much had it in my mind that I wanted to go with the Screamin' Eagle tuner.

I made a few more runs today and recorded info. I attached a couple of pictures...the picture are the VE table for the front cylinder before smarttune update and a pic of the smarttune suggestions after it was genereated from the recorded files. On pretty much every run values are changing but not by much.
