Smart TRE ?

Saw an item on eBay, listed for SV1000 and 650, called a Smart TRE mod, basically you solder a resistor in the wiring loom which is meant to make the bike nicer to ride, similar to the adjusting the TPS ?

Just wondered if anyone had heard of this as the link in the listing on ebay takes you to an SV1000 forum.

No point TBH, maybe couple of degrees difference. You on pointy or curvy? Makes it go to a richer fuelling map on pointy.

Ah, righto.

As yet, neither but i`ll probly get a nekkid pointy.

No, TPS adjustment is just that; an adjustment to take account of wear, like adjusting valves it's a periodic thing. A 'TRE' is intended to change the settings from standard.

Just the once or twice, yes.

No I meant the "mod" i`ve read about to adjust the TPS from the factory setting down to 1450rpm.

Read the whole thread - it ISN'T a 'mod', Suzuki state the TPS should be set at a certain place, guess where that is? The TPS adjustment changes due to reasons I explained in that and other threads on the subject.

The display in 'Dealer Mode' is a voltmeter, (without numbers it's true, but the numbers are irrelevant), the centre line represents the voltage the TPS outputs at a given position - that position should be aligned with tickover, such that the fuelling and ignition systems will know where the throttle is at any other given position - all positions are referenced to a given voltage. The setting point is tickover for ease.

Many bikes have a TPS, ones with no display are set with a voltmeter, and usually at tickover - you get the tickover right and move the TPS until it's output is whatever the maker says.

Ok I stand corrected.
I know its an adjustment that wasn`t done in the factory or at the PDI when the bike was new, but used "mod" because the article I read states at the top :

" **Before undertaking this modification, I strongly recommend that you read the instructions through from start to finish & have them to hand during the process** "

Either way I just wondered about the TRE thing, which I won`t be bothering with when I get my chariot.

Yes, I appreciate the title isn't accurate, but upon reading the thread* it will be apparent it isn't a mod and it is set correctly at the factory, the suggested figures are precisely what Suzuki specify.
However, due to factors that I refer to in said thread, its adjustment changes quite early in the life of the bike and then doesn't change so much or so often after that.

* Or at least the bits that matter anyway - there's a lot of less than useful posts in there.

Oh I see ! So after the bike has been used a bit from new and bedded in, if everything is checked again it should be fine. Makes me wonder why the TPS adjustment isnt checked at the bikes first service then.

gotta admit I am wondering that?
