RE: SERT confusion
There is really know way of telling. Your dealer may have just used an HD canned map. I would think that if there was a SERT that was used to tune your bike then they probly would have provided that to you since they can only be used on a single bike. If a PCIII or other fuel management system was used then you can locate your ECM and see if there is a module piggybacked to your ECM.
I do know in 2005 a lot of dealers were just using the HD downloads (canned map). It was not until 2006 when the EPA came down real hard that the downloads became unpopular because they were still very lean.

OK I got to ask the question. I have an 05 Road King Custom. I bought it from the dealer with Rinehart pipes, and stage 1. Does that mean there was a SERT used and I do not have it? OR do the HD dealers have 'universal' kits they can use if someone wants to just have the work done in their shop? Please tell me bc if there is a SERT that goes with my bile I want ot!
Thanks.

RE: SERT confusion
No SERT on your bike...dealer loaded a generic, stage specific download to the ECM!
That is what I would assume. It is too bad HD has not come out of the dark ages with service. I can go on a web site and see every service ever performed on my car and truck ( as long AS IT WAS DONE AT A DEALER)but HD has no such tracking apparently. So now, after that great response, I am gfoing to assume that if I buy a SERT and take it to a dgood dyno tuner I can esxpect better perfioormance and a better overall experience from this bike, right?
I am new TOHD,but learning a lot and I thank you in advance for being willing to share with me and the rest of us on here!

RE: SERT confusion
Something for those concerned with the cost of a SERT...............
Just located a Dealer that had an old unit, new in box 32107-01C. Purchased it for $200.00 plus $9.00 shipping. And it includes the cables. Ordered the latest "J" software for less than $20.00. I now have the latest SERT at a significant savings.
There are deals out there for those willing to do the research!
