Talked with my dealer. The SERT delivery time has been pushed back (again) to "maybe mid October" They did not know of any band restrictions on the new SERT that have been mentioned here...but could not be certain. The service manager said Moco has really out done themselves this time. This a small (but great) shop and they have 16 on back order. Everyone else Zippers, PC, etc is still playing catch up.

So I continue to look at Hoist's Cybil and drool.  Anything worth doing is worth doing right and wait for. I'll wait to do engine/intake/exhaust mods as a package. She's lean enough now.

The SERT is out so you can adjust it, theres just no precanned maps to down load.

Yea, the want to sell you the parts, then tell you that they don't have a $150 flash for it, so you spend $400+ for SERT, and $300 to $450 for the dyno! Sounds like a good plan for the dealers stealers!!!!

In my opinion (worth 2 cents) the Calibrations for the SERT will still be on the conservative side just so MOCO stays out of trouble with EPA.  The Flash was probably equally as conservative and certainly less flexible (can't change it).  I would avoid the Flash and spend the money on a SERT or something comparable.

Most of the Calibrations for the SERT are just a base to start from as they may not match your setup exactly.  They never came out with a Calibration/map for my 2:1 pipes and SE A/C, but Calibration #36 was recommended and used for my 2006.
I am not sure how good the dealers are at performing dynos with the SERT.  I have heard stories that some shops do not have the experience and some have referred customer's to a local tuner.  Here in Phoenix we have a couple to choose from.  When all is said and done you can compare the "stock" Calibration included on the disc of the SERT to what a good tuner comes up with after a dyno and they will be very different.  Your Bike will dictate what settings are needed to achieve a decent AFR and also impact what your tuner sets the various tables to.
Consequently, without the $300+ dyno, you are left with using what MOCO sends (maybe lean).
It was a no brainer for me.  The dealer installed a SERT (no charge) to resolve my cold start problem so the cost of a dyno just allowed me to install the SE A/C and pipes earlier than planned.  The tuner can set you up a little "richer" and thus cooler but your mileage will suffer.  It's all a trade off.
