I think the SERT has something similar but perhaps not as feature rich.
Yes, VTune is almost like Smart Tune. However Smart Tune does a better job of setting up the tables for data recording.

But yeah, the bike has always acted like this since it was new, and I'm just getting on to it now because I saw how fouled up the spark plugs are. I'm also going to check the condition of the O2 sensors.
I think your best bet is to use the SERT, find a map that is closest to what you have and use that. If your O2 sensors aren't working you may have some poblems in the closed loop areas. But at least this is a start.

Once you get a handle on the problems you are currently having you can consider any upgrades.

I would think it is the other way around because with the TTS you get get to set the tables.

Doesn't he have to buy a SESPT or something newer to use the smart tune software (along with buying the software)? Does smart tune work with the old SERT interface unit? What about My tune?

The reason I suggested looking at the TTS as thats $100 out of pocket where a new SESPT thing is like $400. That way he can use the data master recording and the O2 data to tune himself instead of depending on a tuner or making guesses.

My friends say that the TTS data master is much more feature rich and can record for longer periods of time than the SESPT, but I dunno. You can get troubleshooting data out of both.

My suggestion to the OP was to go with what he has and load a base map close to his bike. This is at no additional cost.

My remark about Smart Tune was just a comparison to VTune. The TTS tells you set up certain tables or data recording. SESTP sets these up for you when you check the box this is for Smart Tune.

TTS can obviousely record for longer periods of time since you are recording to a computer that you are lugging around with you instead of a cigarett pack sized device. I put the device on my bike and rode thirty minutes to work, and thirty minutes home. I downloaded two complete datafiles to examine.

I have heard several times what your friends say about the TTS, what is your experience?
