Default anyone still using SERT?

after the epa banned them, I starting looking into them an found a guy selling them "reconditioned".....for a good price. I'm looking at true duals for my '15 slim an if I pull the trigger I'll need a tuner...the sert will also tune for a cam change if I do that later unlike the FP3. Should I just forget the sert an move on to a newer tuner? guess I'm kinda guilty of chasing a good deal since it saves money to put to my next mod.

The computer software is still available, and TTS software is compatible. You will need the cables to hook everything up, and your good to go.

looks like I'm not going to try it..I picked up a set of V&H duals for my slim today from a ind dealer that removed them for a fatboy low the took on trade...they removed them an installed stock pipes to sell... The pipes are in excellent condition an I got them for $350 an $350 for a FP3. I almost went with the TTS for another 85 bucks but then I'd hand to go through the tuning process so I took the easy way out...if I ever do cams I'll regret it but I'll burn that bridge when I get there.

From what I understand, (I have FP3, haven't done cams) the FP3 will map for cam changes - CANBUS bikes this can be done in the mobile app, pre-CANBUS you have to give cam info (plus other mods) to V&H and they will send you a base map.

From what i read, not as good an option as TTS, but might be worth trying before moving on to another tuner when you get there.

I have one of the old SERT's and the TTS update and the free download is compatible. However, it didn't give me anything I didn't already have for my '04 88TC. But I like it once I learned how to tune with it. I've done a couple MAPs. I use one for two up touring and another for solo, unloaded riding. You can tune, do a Data run, and adjust out any Knock Retard, or change the timing or anything else. You will need an older laptop with a serial port in order to do any data runs though. E-bay for under $100 will get you a Dell D630 with what you need.
