Does the guy/shop who did your previous tune have it? I have heard some places will keep the tuner on file in their shop. My wife did not get hers when she had her bike tuned at HD.

Yep, unfortunael you need another one.

Zacharia 11, That's just not right man. That tuner is YOUR property. You need to get it back. NOBODY should leave the tuner with the dealer. They have you help hostage that way, what if you want to go somewhere else and have it tuned? On my bike, I velcro it under the fabric on the saddle bag lid, the one for the dyna I keep in my tool box so I always know were they are.

Harleytuner, I here what your saying and am thinking the same thing myself. We had her bike tuned shortly after we started riding and at the time I really didn't know what a race tuner was and that we didn't get it. We were looking thru the box of parts we got back last weekend. (She wants to put the '1200' back on her sporty cause she doesn't want any one to think its an 883 - thats my girl!) Anyway, it wasn't there [ the race tuner or the 1200 for the air cleaner]. I have read other posts that indicated the dealer may keep them so I am assuming that is what happened in this case.

the dealer might of put the dongle in her file. just call them and tell them you did not see it in the box.
its not like they actually know how to use it.

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to switch over to a better tuner.....TTS Mastertune.

How about the nitrous?
Somehow you gotta add a bunch of fuel when that switch gets hit.
I don't think SERT will do, will TTS Mastertune work this issue?

Nitrous runs off of throttle position, the switch just activates the system. I'm not sure about the TTS, but I know that Power Commander III has an add on that will allow you to run 2 maps independantely from a toggle switch on your handelbars. You can run 1 map for regualr, 1 for nitrous or any combination you can think of. 1 for all performance and 1 for economy. I set one up to run 1 map for regualr high octane and the other for E-85. That way he can run the E-85 if it's available, if he has to fill p with regualr, all he has to do is flip the switch.
