Incorrect...the SE Super Tuner will "flash" you ECM with the desired map or custom tune. With that said, there is no need to use a SE Tuner, or any other fuel management device, if you're keeping the bike (i.e. Exhaust & Intake) stock.

after thinking about my question, it is actually "changing" the ecm settings. the map does change, but the ecm physically doesn't. i am thinking it was a bar conversation.

The SE Tuner is only the device that is used to connect to the ECM; it does not stay on the bike like the "piggy back" fuel management systems (i.e. Power Commander).

Make sure it is new and never used on another bike.
