Anyone know what this is? - Page 3 - SV650.org

I don't have this particular brand of TRE (Timing Retard Eliminator) but I do have one from Ivan's Performance Products here in the USA.

I think that there is a little bit more power on the first half of the tachometer and at smaller throttle openings, but it's just that: A little bit.
Nothing that'll knock your socks off, at least on my SV-650K7.

I think I'd do it again because I like knowing my timing is not retarded, but just don't expect too much.
Without a doubt, I'd fit top-notch tyres, first.

I will be fiitng some nice rubber next year, but first I'm wearing through the the stock tyres. Umm, how do they last?

Can't say how many miles I'd a' gotten out of the stock Dunlop D220s because I took them off before a week was up.
Just didn't like them and knew there were much better ones (like Michelin Pilot Powers).

The bit of extra advance won't hurt anything

The way to do it to a pointy involves one small resistor worth about 4p

Just seen this thread. can't believe my v-twin is restricted! need to try this one. Does anyone know what the product code for the resistor is? Did a search on maplins site, could't find it.

It's not restricted as such, there's probably less than a bhp in it in gears 2 and 3, if that.

I read somewhere that engine braking is less and acceleration is smoother. Is that true?

Was it the company trying to sell them?

No

A few degrees (if that) of advance won't affect engine braking noticeably.
Acceleration may be smoother, but I wouldn't bet on it. Some engines are "happier" with a bit more advance.

It really is a small amount of power added on the 650, marginal difference.

Unlike the raptors and TLs, which go a bit nuts with TRE on them

no. saw it on the other thread. It was a DIY job that cost pence to do:
