Default Sert is it worth it?

I have a 2009 SG with SE touring non cat S/O with SE heavy breather and V&H fuel pak. The guy i use to drag race with has been dyno tuning for 20 years, crotch rockets and Harley's. He said he can do a SERT and DYNO TIME for a total of $400.00. Is this worth it?

maybe. do you think you might ever change your setup, if so it may have to be dynoed again. imho it is more cost effective to buy a pcv from fuelmotousa keep your recept. if you make a change send a email to Jamie with your invoice no. and the new setup and he will send you a new map free of charge. kwick trip with the laptop, Done. unless you are trying to squeeze every last inch out of it with paper to prove it then it still can be dynoed.

400 is kindve steep (at least in my area) for a SERT tune. The SERT is definately superior to the PCV, the tuner has allot more power with the SERT. The PCV MAPS that you get over the internet are tuned MAPS that were tuned from a specific bike. Even if they have a MAP that is the same or similar to your build it could be improved on with a dyno tune. If your buddy has been tuning crotch rockets that were fuel injected, he should be able to tell you the benefits of the SERT over the PCV. In my opinion, with the money we all sink into our bikes, why wouldn't you want it to run as best it can? If you settle for a MAP that isn't tuned to your specific bike, you could be missing out on a little. I have SERT MAPS that I have tuned from a heck of allot of bikes that would be no differn't than getting a pcv MAP from the internet and loading it in your PC.

In my opinion the SERT is one of the best tuning tools on the market IF you have someone that is capable of tuning with it. As Harleytuner mentioned, it is a very powerful tool.

I would go for it. SERT is $500 at dealer.
I am happy with my SERT and dyno tune. I would be even happier if I paid $400 for both.

I've been tuning bikes for 20 years also.. I love the SERT . No two bikes are the same. Don't be fooled by the " I'll send you a map crap".. $ 20,000.00 Bike.! Whats 250.00 to 400.00 to get it right. I see People spend $3,000.00 dollars on Wheels and Rotors $1,000.00 on Exhaust and then Bitch about 400.00 to actually make it run right, and preserve the longevity of there Bike. Ask around, and find a Tech that will take the time on your Bike and get YOUR BIKE tuned, Not some other bikes Map.. I'm also Impressed with Zippers Auto Tune.. Good Stuff there..
