Default Please don't shoot me!

But I have a SERT question.
I have installed Screaming Eagle mufflers and Vance and Hines true duelson my scoot this year. My question is,
Do I have to have the SERT done or will my bike be ok with out it? I know that it will run much better after the download but will I damage anything if I ride it without?

Oh and yes I did a search before I posted and with 3 hours of reading behind me I'm still confused about what to do.

You will get a lot of different opinions on this.With the the slip ons,I would say no,but with true duels,I would do the Sert upgrade.

unless you increase the flow of air into the engine, (se air cleaner) or another change such as compression ie: pistons or you add a cam wich changes the time the valves are open or closed, you do not need to add a fuel controller such as sert, pc111 thundermax or another...you will be happier if you cnage the fuel ratio though, it will run beeter and cooler..

I have to agree with gene on this one, just the running better and cooler is worth going with some sort of tuner.

Get a good air cleaner and get the SERT with dyno time, it will be a differant bike.
The down load isn't worthanything.

I've been leaning toward something like the Vance & Hines Fuelpak myself. I don't plan on ever doing engine upgrades beyone Stage I and pipes, so I can't justify the expense of a SERT.

Just my $0.02

Just with the exhaust....not mandatory to add tuner.
