sorry guys i will admit i didnt look, see i do tuning on cars and thinking this is basically the same thought it may help give a wee extra boost

Na, they counter the effects of having a topbox. I'm thinking of getting one too, need some more power

Basically, it removes the timing retardation in the lower gears (i think?), hence increaseing power in those gears. For the SV, there is very little (if any?) power cut in the lower gears. For something like a GSXR1000 though, you would notice a benefit of removing such a restriction.

Short answer is yes it's a waste. It's suppose to remove the ignition retard on 2nd & 3rd gears. If there is any improvement in those gears it's negligeable, and in any case the same effect can be had by disconnecting a wire.

This makes it fairly poor value for money.

On the curvy yes, on the injected setup you solder in a resistor.

£0.05 compared to £36. You are paying for a resistor in a box.

I can vouch that these actually work, my torque increased by 16% and my bhp went from 119 to 410... well worth it for £36 imo

Don't listen to YC he doesn't know what he's on about. He's actually works for vodafone in a call centre and doesn't even know whether there's such a thing as a "Mechanical Engineering" degree
