I'm just telling you what the service guy at the Dealer told me iclick. His name is Marty Ferro. He works at Mtn CrK HD in Dalton Ga. His number is 706-370-7433 Call him up and tell him he's a liar. He was telling me about how the new tuners work. He said you don't have to dyno if you don't want to. Can't remember the other guy's name, but he's at Smky Mtn HD in Maryville, Tn.

I am wanting to do the full stage 1 on my 2010 Limited, but I am hearing so many conflicting reports on the Power Commanders. I live in southern AL where it gets hot down here, and many people I have talked to about this say the PC's don't hold up in the heat. I read about so much success on here I want to get one, but I don't want to invest in something that isn't going to last.
I would get a SE Tuner, but they are so expensive and I would rather have access to maps from FuelMoto which is where I would get a power package for my bike.
Do the PC V's hold up any better?
My dealer has a drawer full of PCs he has pulled off of bikes that don't work and replaced with SE Tuners.

That could be because a PCV for an '07, '08, '09, and '10 are not interchangeable, although I think the '10 and '11 are the same. For example, if you trade your '07 for an '08 you can't transfer your PCV, so it would make sense to try to sell it. That's a big plus since you can't transfer or sell any of the flash-based tuners to another bike.

You will also never see a used SERT, Super Tuner or TTS for sale as they are married to the bike's ECM and cannot be transfered to another bike.

Pcvs for sale
You probably never would see a SE one for sale cause it is only good for the bike it is married to right? Unless you never tried it on your bike like the one i have.

Smart tune feature
Isn't that considered a autotune function? You put a base map in similar to a pcv and then ride the bike in record mode so the 02 sensors can adjust the base map similar to auto tune i think. This is why i bought this tuner and the cables/software.

As for the plethora of PCV in the trash can of a dealership, maybe he's one of these dealers BSing his clients, telling them that using a PCV voids the warranty on the bike?
Thank you very much for your order
