But where is the fun/reward in that?!?! :mrgreen:

adam_castell - don't expect a marked difference, it might make a bit more in the mid, but I doubt enough you'd notice!!

Unless you have your heart set on doing this, I'd say it is major hassle for minimal gains ... do you really want to be taking crankcases off, draining oil ... replacing gaskets disturbing bolts ... ?? If you love to fettle then go for it, if you are doing it for performance only, then I think you might be disappointed.

You would probably get better performance gains dropping some new plugs in and taking it down the dyno and getting it to run 100% correctly ...

If you think about it, the SV have a retard in 2nd and 3rd, I am not sure how many degrees it is retarded by (probably in the order of 4??) - do the TRE mod and you don't get the retard. I have done that and how much REAL difference does it make??? ... v-little ... to be honest I noticed NO detectable difference ... I haven't ridden an SV with an advance key, but I can extrapolate from the TRE mod to guess it will make very little difference ...

Have you done the TRE mod BTW? ;)
