SERT OR PCIII
Is the SERT anymore difficult to install and set up vs the PCIII? Everyone says PCIII is plug and play. Its come down to the wire and I and trying to decide if long term I'd be better with the sert. Thanks,

I would suggest finding your tuner first and asking them what they prefer. There are pros and cons to both. Doug Lofgren whois a well known tuner suggested Igo with the SERT and because he is my tuner of choice, that is what I will do.

Agreed... Find the tuner... ask about how he tunes.. Ask what he likes and why. I have a SERT because that is what the person runnning the dyno said he liked. Unfortunately, he was not a tuner. I found a tuner that I think knows what he is doing, but he is PCIII guy... D'oh! As I understand it, SERT actually burns the changes to the ECM. I cannot verify that, need to do some more reading.
My advice is to have a clear idea of what you want. Are you looking for HP, cooler running, more mid-range, whatever.. take what you want to a few dyno places, and ask them how they would do it.. If you get a weird answer, keep walking...

The SERT "marries" itself to the bike's ecu. Once it's installed, it will never work with another ecu. Both devices are fine - their utility completely depends on the tuner, as was said before. We have very little experience with the SERT and the PC III seems to do everything we ask it to do. The SERT does allow the O2 sensors to stay connected even though I haven't a clue as to whether that's good or bad. O2 sensors are supposed to help maintain the correct A/F ratio - but, we have seen that that's not always the case (with the SERT). Again, just make sure your tuner is competant using which ever one he/she suggests (gotta be politcally correct).

SERT is the most expensive computer cable I own![sm=icon_guiness.gif]And you are right, it does not stay on the bike. I have run into more tuners as of late that seem to have more experience on the PC III. Sorta wish I had gone that route. Oh well.
