I've been having problems getting my SEST (yes, that's the new name) to work... turns out that it's probably a connector issue, no red LED blink on bike powerup. Anyway, I thought I'd share this PDF I got from Zanotti's... some interesting info here. We'll see how much I can get into a post... I've omitted the figures at the end. Anyone need the full file, email me at sbcglobal.

TT375 – May 5, 2008 – Screamin’ Eagle Pro Super Tuner
Application
Fitment
Current fitment is 2001-2009 All Softail EFI Models, 2004-2009 All EFI Dyna
Models, 2002-2009 All EFI Touring Models, 2002-2009 All VRSC Models and
2007-2009 All EFI Sportster Models. Note that Super Tuner does not fit 2001
and earlier Touring Models or any Buell Models.
When new models are added each year the part number will supersede and prior
to that the part number will show Pending Obsolete. This is not an indication that
the kit is going obsolete, only that the part Number will be changing.
NOTE: Currently dealers are reporting erratic behavior when trying to
install Super Tuners on 2001-2004 Models equipped with the original -01
ECM part.
At this time it is recommended to verify the ECM part # on these model
years and to call Tech Service before installing a Super Tuner.
Set-Up / Computer Tips
Operating Systems
SEST is designed to operate with Windows XP and Windows Vista only. It is
designed to use a USB connection. It has been tested for use on DTII computers
and also with the use of the USB Hub, however if you are using more than two
USB devices, make sure the USB hub is connected to AC Power.
Installation Tips
You should install the software before you connect the Vehicle Communication
Interface to the computer.
Installing Drivers
After the initial installation of the software on your computer, and once you have
connected the VCI to your computer, you will be notified that the computer has
detected new hardware and you will be prompted to install the drivers for the new
hardware. You will not be able to communicate with the motorcycle until you do
this. If you have skipped the initial driver installation message, you can open
control panel and select add hardware. Insert the Super Tuner disc, connect the
VCI, power on the motorcycle and follow the prompts. You will see either Super
Tuner or USB Device at the top of the found hardware list, select this and follow
the prompts to install the drivers.

Software Version & Updates
FTP & CD Updates
New CDs will be released once a year.
Each SEST kit will ship with an installation disc, and mid-year software upgrades
will be available from an FTP internet update site.
To check and see if an update is available for your software you will go to the
SETUP icon, then select Software Information. See FIGURE 5.
Select Check for Updates, if an update is available, select Download Install.
You will always receive the latest updated software, even if you have never
updated your computer.
When updating software, you will be prompted to close some of the programs
that are currently in use, read the message box and close the programs it
indicates and click OK or Retry. See FIGURE 6.
Version Tracking
The current version of software is 1.004.0000
04/02/2008: an update was released that changed all of the 2008 touring
calibrations from 200 level cals to 202 level cals. This change provides the latest
level software strategy to the race calibrations. Additionally, the SEST is now
compatible with the 32345-08A 2008 Touring ECM with this latest update.
The 202 level calibrations also lowered the RPM at which the Throttle Position
will achieve 100% to approximately 2500 RPM.
VCI Use & Updates
Indicator Lights
When connected to a motorcycle, the VCI Led will blink once to indicate it is
connected; it will only remain on steady if it is being used in data record mode.
For more info on recording data with VCI, search for Record Data in the online
help system.
Reprogramming VCI
Occasionally there will also be a need to program the VCI, to update the VCI
firmware. This can be accomplished by selecting the SETUP icon and then once
the VCI is connected to a motorcycle and ignition and run/stop switch on,
selecting the Reprogram VCI icon. Even though you only need to update to the
latest VCI firmware level once, you will need to program each individual VCI as
Firmware updates become available. SEST software updates will not always
mean that VCI's will need to be programmed.
The VCI version can be located by selecting the Toolbox and then selecting
Software Information.
Version Tracking
The current version of software is 129

Converting Files
Compatibility
SE Super Tuner Software can not be used to open, read view or tune SE Race
Tuner files. SERT calibrations use an .MT6 file extension type and SEST
calibrations use a .dt0 file extension type. They are not compatible.
Copying Older Files
You can, however, use SEST software and copy and paste your SERT table
values into SEST files. See FIGURES 1 & 2.
Calibrations
Unavailable Cals
If there is not a base calibration for your specific configuration, you will need to
select the closest appropriate calibration, making sure the displacement and
injector size are correct for your application. Then using the advanced tuning
mode and a chassis dynamometer along with an exhaust gas analyzer, you will
need to tune the engine combination. Specific questions have been asked
regarding the SE Pro 58 MM induction module and SE Pro 211 cams, the SEST
will accommodate such components, but custom calibrations will need to be
created from the base calibrations included with the software.

Viewing Manuals
The Users Manual is included on the SEST installation disc, but it is an optional
