I'm gonna try and download the file on to my in law's windows pc and see what if I can play with it for a bit. Doing it this way is gonna be a pain in the *** though.

I might just take it to the dealer like oldenuf suggested.

Ed, thank you for be offer man.

Hi Alain,

I do not profess to know anything about that tuner, but if you are able to get the software on your computer I am sure someone here will have a base tune for you if you need it and the tuner allows for it? I know people around often post and receive maps when asked based upon the same hardware.

Good luck, I'm sure it will work out. And like you said, the fact that you seem to have the SE hardware (albeit with stock cover), would at least insinuate that the equipment was installed and then flashed if the previous owner ever rode the bike after install.

No - the software is the same - I do not believe it will run on chrome. If your buddy has a laptop, you can hook to your bike with the tuner and the software will tell you what the cal id. is. It will also pull out the complete tune that was put in so we could tell you exactly what has been modified in each table.

Ok, so my only option here is to take the bike to the dealer along with the tuner. I just realized that I won't be able to use my in law's computer because it's a desktop computer and I would have to park the bike in their living room hahahahha.

Looks like I'm stuck going to the stealer for this one. Not thrilled about that at all.

Or you could buy a super cheap laptop.

Yea, I could do that too. We have a chrome book, an iPad and two smart phones. We would never use that cheap laptop again afterwards lol.

Thanks for all the help guys. I think I'm gonna leave this one up to the stealership

I ran into the same issue having nothing but Apple computers in the house. I found a Windows 8 tablet on sale for $100. The software runs fine on it although the print is pretty tiny. I am able to strap it to my fairing and use the Smart Tune Live feature to tune it while I ride. Once I'm done I'll probably throw it in a box with the SEPST and shelve it, Windows 8 makes a terrible tablet.

I use my Macbook all the time to run the tuner. Parallels is quite simply awesome!. I run Mac IOS and Windows simultaneously - not through apples either/or Boot Camp.

Thanks for the input and the well wishes fellers. I'll just take it to the stealer and have it looked at.
