No worries. I got it covered. If you need any info pm me.

 

SEPST tuner data logs without a laptop. It's actually a good tool if you know how to use it. Newer programers do more, but it's not junk as you state. Unfortunately many times when when people don't understand something they default to "it's junk".

 

i understand it pretty good:
-my laptop won't connect to it (win7, IDK?)
-so I have to take my wife's Laptop away from her to tune with it, all day.
-get laptop out, set up to record, record ~45 minutes on way to work (5 miles in town, 15 miles WOT, 7 miles stopngo)
-pack laptop in soft bag so bike vibration don't kill it.
-get to work, get laptop out, wait on it to boot, pull data, create file, merge data, generate files, overlay files, save file, upload ECM.

after work:
-get laptop out, wait on it to boot, reset VCI to record (after waiting so long in the sun for the wife's laptop to boot, the keys become too hot to touch)
-pack laptop back in soft bag, wedge it in somehow so it don't flop around.
-drive home
-unpack laptop, wait on it to boot, pull data, create file, merge data, generate files, overlay files, save file, upload ECM.

yeah...i think I understand it pretty good

here's what you do with a PowerVision:
-clamp it on handlebars.
-tell it to autotune.
-watch cells populate as you ride, so you KNOW what RPM/load range you need to drive thru.
-hit a few buttons, upload new tune.

very hot day outside? hit a few buttons and richen up the midrange RPM's so you don't bake to death.

 

Why don't you use the SEPST interface to data record? It functions as a data recorder w/o the computer when riding.

 

yes it does, but you have to lug the laptop around with you to do anything with the data.

some ppl say the SEPST only holds 15 minutes, some say an hour.

so if you want to run an Autotune on any trip you go on (ride to work) and then upload that Autotune, and refine that recording with another Autotune on the way home (gives you two sessions, one in cool of morning, another in blazing heat) you have to have the Laptop, and you have to stand around the parking lot farkling with your laptop, bike, and the SEPST.


with the PowerVison, its so Simple. I have had my PV on several bikes, and when I sell the bike, I ship the PV with it, and let the new owner run Autotunes for a week or so, then they ship the PV back. that allows them to tune for: type of gas in their area, altitude, humidity, riding style, whatever.

you can't do that with a SEPST, so between the lack of functionality (EPA limits) and difficulty operating the interface (physical limits) , that is why i say it's junk.
IDK if it is worth keeping the warranty, to have to deal with it. i have ran two SEPST autotunes that worked so far,
with a PV, i would have ran over a dozen or more (do an autotune on every trip for a week or two)

but, YMMV

 

Some people don't get it............. the SEPST is a dinosaur much like the TTS is becoming the PV works and you do it all on the bike including editing, autotune & flashing.
You don't have to go home or carry a laptop to merge the collected data make a new file and flash and that saves you a whole lot of time and it even backs up the stock flash.

 

LOL well please allow me to give a little perspective before you infer I do not get it. The initial post completely slammed the product saying that a person needs to drag a laptop around to record. We all know that's not true, but here's what you do not know.

Prior to the PowerVision being released by DynoJet, I worked closely with the guys at DynoJet - especially a VP. They approached me wanting HD to release the PV as I ran the EFI Tuning classes and Powertrain classes at HDU. The thought was to label it under HD exclusively. I thought the PV was a massive step forward and was definitely the next step into the future of tuning (remember we are talking over a decade ago). Unfortunately, no matter how I tried to convince him, the category manager who ran Screamin' Eagle wanted to continue with only the SERT and the SEPST. DynoJet launched the PV and I applauded them. Also, I understand it's capabilities and do not deny that it is a more advanced product. In that instance (and many others the public is unaware of) HD missed out.

 

Excellent post. Thanks!

 

The "super tuners" (not street) do not have any EPA limitation either.

You would be surprised what I know Ed.
You sound like another version of Steve Cole I am sorry to say LOL
