THEN, you are going to have to retune your PC's as the Baseline ECM programming has been changed, and your settings are going to be off kilter for the PC to modify.....
Take my advice, get your bike to the nearest shop that you trust, get your ECM's updated and stop the madness.....
Bob,
I have the SE air cleaner, Rush mufflers, and the SERT with the appropriate map uploaded to the ECM. Do I need the ECM flash? It seems that I would have to reload the SERT map, which would overwrite the new ECM program.
If, as stated earlier, they changed the timing, wouldn't that indicate that they should also issue new SERT maps with similar changes in the timing? Is there any way to determine what they did to the timing?
Thats my question too. I dropped my bike off at the dealer tonight. The service guy is going to have the tech's decide if it needs the service bulletin remap or not. The question is if its already had the stage 1 remap does it need this service remap as well? Will the service remap write over my stage 1 remap?
It got up to 50 degrees today, called service manager and told me to bring it in any time. Rode the hour and twenty minutes over (dang 20mph head wind made it fun) to have it done. They took it in, I stopped and talked to the salesman that sold me the bike for 5 min. went out and had a smoke, came back in at it was done. Noticed the difference right away in the lower rpm range. Not near as much noise in the primary when rolling on the throttle at lower rpms and seemed much smoother over all. Very smooth ride home anywhere from 65 to 85 mph and roll ons were much smoother. Great ride (god bless the 20 mph tailwind) home.

Ahh Im confusing myself!
I went to my dealer and the service mgr called Harley while I was there next to him. He told them I have the sert and stage 1. They told him to ask me if i was having any problems with acceleration when the bike was warmed up. Was it responsive. I sad it runs great and it's very responsive. They said ok you don't need the remap because it will over right your sert tuning! I said have a nice day and cruzed home.
When they do the download, it pops up on there screen, If stage 1 or 2 download or aftermarket programmer is installed do not reflash, or something to that effect. The manager called me and asked if I wanted the download because I had the pc111, I said go ahead. Seems like its only a timing change, maybe less at lower rpms.
