RE: RACE TUNER
That is a very good question.
The SERT "marries" itself to the first ECM it is used on and then cannot be used an another ECM.
I bought a SERT recently and had my bike dyno tuned with it. I ended up with the SERT and a custom map for my bike for a total cost of $720.
Now, Im not complaining BUT . . . the SERT is simply a plug that allows access to the ECM. It probably costs HD less then $20 to produce. Nothing remains on the bike. Once you're done using the SERT, you take it off but you should always keep it with the bike unless you need emergency service on a road trip. So, the way I see it, when you buy a SERT, you are simply buying the right and means to access the ECM . . . what a racket !

Yes, you can use a SERT that has been used . BUT,it must be used with the same ECM that it was originally used with. The original SERT and ECM do notcare which bikethey're on,they only know each other and must never be separated.

OK, when was the last time you saw an ECM/SERT combo for sale. Get real.

I bought my SERT and ECM from a member here for $175. The ECM does not care what bike it's on and does not have the VIN stored in it, but you do have to marry the ECM to your bike just like the SERT is married to the ECM (if that makes any sence). Yes, mutiple people can use the one SERT, just depends on how many people you allow to ride your bike. LOL
