Thanks

Yep, I've been using it for about a year now. They keep coming out with
updated versions and I would say it's ready for prime-time now. I would make
sure you will have free access to updated versions posted on their website
if you buy because they are still improving it and adding features. The last
version I tested was rock solid on my Palm Vx but wasn't compatible with my
Kyocera 7135 phone which works on a special version of the Palm operating
system. TechnoResearch says they are coming out with a new version to
address this incompatibility which will be cool because then my cell phone
will double as my diagnostic device!
Pros:
Relatively inexpensive. The Mathesis Tester is thousands of dollars.
Reads the Throttle Position Sensor value so it can be set properly when
tuning the engine.
Allows fuel trim adjustments on newer ECU's with software only adjustment
(no trim pot).
Small enough to bring on every ride as an emergency diagnostic tool. I think
it's worth it for this feature alone.
Can be used on any bike that has Webber-Marelli FI
Software seems stable and well designed.
Works in five languages.
Cons:
Documentation not as complete as I would like (they say they are improving
this).
The functionality is limited by the functions supported by your ECU. This is
not really a fault of the tool, I'm just pointing out that the functionality
of the tool varies depending upon which model ECU your bike has. The newer
ECU's tend to support more functions than the older ones.
