Scott's build is completely done and we are trying to load a map in with new race tuner. The ecm mated fine with the tuner but it will not load this map. Has anyone ever seen this error? This is a brand new out of the package racetuner btw Scott's bke is an 02.

what version is the tuner software? I just downloaded the 4.7.7 version and it wont work on my ECM (04B but ecm had xxxx-01 pn). I could open the Doc Maps but could not load them...I could also retrieve the ECM info but the Mapping was incompatable. Had to cut and paste the tables into the 4.6.2 software and save it as the older version. Dont know if this relates but....

It's hard to tell from your screen shot because the "pop-up" error box is blocking the information but it looks like you have a mismatched tuning file and ECM. As mentioned in this previous thread, if the "ECM Information" and "File Information" don't match (except for the -xxx part number at the end of the CAL ID which can be a unique number) then the file isn't appropriate for the ECM.

I know Mark knows a lot more about this than me but I thought both the ECM PN and the CAL ID had to match (except for the last three numbers.) The file CAL ID looks OK but the bike's CAL ID looks incompatible like it was flashed with a cartridge at some time.
I have to fly home in 3 hours but if I dont get it to work im gonna have him take it to a dealer and have them put the digi tech on it and flash the ecm with a stock map.

Oh damn, I thought the "++++++++++++++" in the VIN was just the number blanked out. I should have caught that........ SORRY!

It says right in the race-tuner manual that 01 ecm's might not show the Vin number. Really crappy that we had to get all that done just to make the tuner work. Thanks for everyones help and suggestions.

If it's any consolation, mine did the same thing when I went to use my SERT.

It looks like the issue I had when I was trying to load a map while using my laptop that has vista...

I was hoping version 4.7.7 might have a cure for the vista issue...

Are you kidding?

You mean to tell me that this software does not run on Vista? Just bought the SE Pro Tuner and my laptop runs Vista. Do I have to Downgrade to XP? run 2 partitions with XP or Windows98 and Vista? This sucks.

The pro tuner and the older race tuner are 2 different animals made by 2 different vendors. What's accurate for one is not for the other.

As for Vista, both should work but a lot depends on your system configuration. The biggest reason the older SERT has problems with Vista is the lack of USB support. FYI, the older SERT remained serial port based because the MoCo insisted in Win98 compatibility :banghead:

Take a look at the specs for the Pro Tuner, does it say it's supports Vista? (I don't own it and probably never will so I can't help out here).

First, the problem fixed by "smoothrod" in this thread had nothing to do with operating system incompatibility. He was working on one of the early VRSCA ECM releases (from 2001) that didn't display the VIN number so the software didn't recognize the ECM.

Second, there are several that have run the SERT software with VISTA and USB to RS232 conversion hardware (e.g the Belkin made adapter from Office Depot not the one from Radio Shack). You'll also need to download a VISTA rated device driver from Belkin. The issue with VISTA is that HD and TTS (company the made the SERT) never certified the software to run on VISTA but that doesn't mean it won't. It means that if it doesn't run, your on your own to sort it out and it might require an XP partition.

edit: Mark beat me to it.

How true this is also, the one from radio shack gives you a boot loader error!!!
