FP3 was no good for me as well. Nothing but problems. Have the HD download at the moment and running good. I am going the SERT/Dyno route when I install cams. Then I will be covered by MoCo and not have out of pocket issues associated with aftermarket tuners.

if you have the pro, don't waste your money on any other tuner. just find a tuner that is comfortable with using that one. for that matter, you can load the software on your own home computer and make changes to the map yourself. you will have to buy the cable kit for your app, but that's a whole lot less expensive than buying a whole another tuner.....

The SEPST you have is a capable unit.
You should check in with the tuning section
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/ignit...-injection-55/
and the new sub section called The Dyno Room
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/the-dyno-room-190/
Although it won't help you yet ( just getting started ) they just put up a Dyno locator.
There are a few listed, but until they get that populated you can ask in the SEPro/SEStreet tuner section for advice on a good Dyno tuner in your area that uses the SEPST.

appreciate the responses... i'll ask the dyno guy when i find one, but anyone know if the screaming eagle tuner is acceptable for most/any dyno tuners - or would it be advisable to replace it with a power commander etc.
ps. this dealer has done work on many of my bikes over 15 years, even a similar job that I'm going thru now - this is my first problem with them. dyno is the way to go, now to find a good one in the nj/ny/pa area.

I would read up on Dyno Jet's Power Vision and V&H Fuelpak 3. The FP3 is way different than the original. FP3 is a fantastic unit and will get your bike running great. You can use it to calibrate your speedo, and it even has settings for eliminating decel popping. Since it's a flash tuner, nothing has to stay attached to the bike. You flash, run a couple auto tune sessions, reflash a couple times and you're done. You can find the FP3 for about $325 on Amazon. The tuner is super easy to use and it can grow with you. If you change pipes, or do engine mods you can reflash over and over again.

Download the screaming eagle software, it's free, plug in the module, and save the map that's currently on it, there's probably a couple hundred maps that you can download. Easy to do, and you can always jut reload what you originally had. However since the dealer did the work I would tell Them to work on it until it's right. As far as a Dyno any body who can tune can use the module, it allows them to get into the ECM and make changes as required. The guy that I used said he likes the unit. But like anything else it the tech sucks it doesn't much matter what he uses,

How much have you ridden the bike? How many smart tune runs have you done? Have you been giving the throttle lots of quick smacks to hear your new exhaust?
I tuned in my dads 110 last year and it was a picky bastard and wasn't easy. With my 103 I loaded a map rode it around the block, made the few adjustments it wanted and it ran great. The 110 was a different story. It was very sensitive to smacking the throttle during the tuning process and even for a little bit after. I ended up doing 3 tuning rides on the same loop before I was happy with it. It's important to be smooth with the throttle as you work through the gears. Reving the throttle rapidly doesn't give the computer enough time to put together useful information. Once you finish the smart tune process it's not over. The computer still has values and adjustments to learn so it's not instant. I'd suggest buying the cable (I think it's $50) then downloading the super tuner software (it's free) then tuning it yourself.
Dyno tune is without a doubt better. I'd keep the super tuner unless you can't find a shop that can work with it. I'm not sure about your area but many of the dealers in NH have a Dyno.
