Default HELP loading SERT map

I borrowed cables for the SERT to my laptop, but my laptop didn't have a serial port so I bought an adapter to use the USB port. I cannot get the SERT to recognize the USB port and I have chosen the right port from the com port menu and all. Does this not allow USB ports? any help?

I went to a bud's house and used his regular computer with a serial port and got the same message "cannot communicate with ECM" I didn't have the run switch in the run position though, I will go try that. I'll be back if that doesn't work....stay tuned

Well I was able to get the ECM info, but it starts programming and then says ECM is not allowing access to program

Yes you can load a map yourself via your own PC. I did. As for tuning the SERT comes with a few canned or standard maps that will get you close. Personally I chose to go this route when I added Rush SlipOn's and AN Big Sucker.You will get the most out of it by having it tuned however since I plan a 103" or bigger build this winter I did not want to spend the money for a tune that won't work with my bike in the Spring.
