I don't understand half the people on this site. This has been a known problem in the industry, this is not breaking news. Whenever there is a post on this site PC vs. SERT everyone has their opinions and most are the SERT is too much and dealers are just out to steal your money. Now when everyone hears this they say "I will live with it?" If this problem was with the SERT and the MOCO said they were doing nothing about it, we would be on the 23rd page already. Like I have always said, you get what you pay for. The PowerCommander is not superior to the SERT, only less expensive and works OK. The long term affect is that it still uses consumer grade electronics (same as your kids PS3 or X-Box) and long term failures are high.

And as for this being a Known issue? I never new it when I bought mine back in october, and niether did many others, heck till some of us figured out it was a power issue most everyone thought it was a map related problem. The true problem has only come to light in the past few days and is now documented in writing by Dynojets responce listed above.

FLHT -- thanks for the info!
Gutman -- No worries, no one's looking for your understanding. Most of us are here looking for information.
Personally I like the fact that I can sit and play with the table and effect how my bike performs. Since I commute, it's been a hobbie to get the best gas mileage I can out of the bike. Staring at spark plugs has become an obsession, too.
It's no big surprise to me that there are issues, and the issues I've had aren't exactly serious. If I want I'll change to SERT...or not...no one should really care too much what I have on my bike.
But it's nice to be informed about the possibilities, and potential issues/advantages to the products out there. At this point, the advantages of PCIII outweigh the issues for me. Maybe I'll feel different in the future. Who knows? Who cares? No one should...
