Is S.E.R.T. more than I need?
I am getting ready to install a set of V & Hines duals, and a stage 1 air cleaner. The dealer is trying to talk me into installing a SERT. Is that going overboard ? I was thinking that I could install
it all myself and go with either a fuel pack or pc III.
Also I am getting conflicting advice from people at the dealership as to weather or not this will void my warranty. Service Writer says it wont, Parts guy says ot will.
What would you all recomend ?

Long as you dont have a 08, for those mods sert is a bit of overkill. A pc3 from fuelmoto programed for your mods will run you under 300.00 inc. the shipping, 15 min job to put it on

RE: Is S.E.R.T. more than I need?
here's the real deal, yes a sert is more than is required for now. but if you plan on even maybe doing more later you could save a few pennies by spending a few more now. Whats the price of a PCIII about $100 less then a sert? the sert does offer more options for a trained tuner, therfore allowing better control of what you have. It's almost one of those do ya don't ya things. If it were me I'd do a sert over a pcIII but i have tuned with both and can get better results from a sert and it grows with you better.

The sert is everything you need it's like a house. Once you have it you can never go wrong by having it. If you wan't to doing any upgrades down the road it will come in handy.

RE: Is S.E.R.T. more than I need?
The reason I didn't buy a SERT is that I wanted to install it myself and I was under the impression that the SERT needed to be installed and dyno tuned. Now I realize that a dyno tune is the best way to go even if you install a PCIII. Sure, my bike runs great in my opinion. How do I really know without a dyno sheet to prove it.
My plan is to sell my PCIII in the spring and install a SERT and pay for a professional dyno tune at Latus motors. This way the bike will be dialed in by a pro. Right now I'm running a canned map that came with the PCIII.

If you like your pipes and current power level, the tmax is overkill.
If you think you might change your pipes like we change our socks then go with the tmax. Little changes (pipes) will require different tunes to be accurate. You'd be suprised, I am on my 7th set of pipes and I am done...some people are on thier 10th set...If you step up to a cam swap later, the the tmax is the road you want to travel now. Tmax is there to grow and has nice features but you have to decide what changes you are wanting later on. Tmax = no more dyno time at $300 a pop. You may look at one tune when you get everything together just to be safe, but not required.
