I'll do it tonight and ride tomorrow. Mine is 33bhp too (probably over it with the aftermarket can on ) and will let you know.

I've seen a Timiing retard eliminator for sale on e-bay I think it does the same sort of thing, according to the product description anyway.

Possibly for the FI bikes?

Ok well I snipped the wires this morning.

The only thing I can possibly say onto others is to definetely TRY IT!! BUT DO NOT SNIP THE WIRES!! Get a thin bit of metal and remove the contacts...

I say that because now in top gear at 5k (70mph) it takes my bike about 10 seconds to get to 6k (80mph). It was less than half that before hand. All of my power seems to have shifted above 7k. Which you know, is great in 1st -3rd gear but pulling power on the motorway there is absolutely nothing. A 2t 125cc would pull better.



Biker-dene, have you done a top gear roll on on your 33bhp bike yet? See if its the same as mine...

yeah I did lol. Most definetely the correct ones.

But it really has err...somewhat changed my bike....I'll take her out for a proper blast in a bit to see just how different it is higher up the rev range.My bike has kinda dodgy electrics so perhaps thats whats sparked it off...but really...70-80mph...is so incredbily slow and it wasn't yesterday!!!! Its so painfully slow. Hope it irons itself out.

The mod should not affect gears 4-6. It removes the restriction in 2nd and 3rd.

There should be no need to cut the wires - simply remove them from the 4-pin connector and shrink wrap them so they cant short.

Yup, instigator, something's gone pretty wrong there...

Myself, I couldn't tell the difference at all on mine. But that's not to say there isnt' any, or that someone else wouldn't have. Usually I'm quite sensetive to things like this though.

This morning it was like hitting a brick wall at 7k. Wasn't that much fun but once you got 8k it would just fly along. I'll try again tomorrow, roll on top gear. Certainly didn't do it before. Think the electrics are being dodgy although not sure how this would affect things.

On the 33bhp I reckon there's quite a wee bit of difference. Not worth paying for imo but good since it's free.
