First, thanks to everyone for the positive comments !!

It is complicated without a doubt. I only posted information on what it is and what to expect if you purchase one. To use it to it's fullest extent it really takes someone that thoroughly understands every aspect of Fuel injection and air/fuel ratio's combinded with timing.

But it can also be used with good results using the canned MAP's supplied with the SERT and modifying them to suit your needs. The nice part about it is if you get too far out of wack and can't seem to get back to where you were, just load the last known good map you have.

The idea of the post is to take some of the "magic" out of it. It is just a program and I believe that if someone else can use it so can I.

Before I mess with anything that I know nothing about, I do a lot of research on the different aspects of it. For example, if I am adjusting the AFR in the SERT, I know what RPM is and I know what AFR is but what is MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure)?? And why is it measured in kPa?? What causes MAP?? What is kPa?? I go look it all up and read, read, read !!! Then after I think I have a comfortable understanding of it I go back to the SERT and look at it again. Now I have the information I need to start adjusting the AFR in the SERT.

Trooper, I don't know if it gets any easier but you sure do start to get a feel for what isn't right and from that I think you learn some "best practices" to use. I suppose you could do some damage to the bike if you got stuff really out of wack but the way I see it, a canned MAP and spark plugs and your good as new.
