Funny - I always wondered what retarding the timing meant
- I always thought it was something that would make you late wherever you went!

As I have already pointed out, on the K3> bikes, gears 1, 2 ,3, 4 & 5 have their timing retarded!

I think you'll find that there is no speed limiter on the SV
650!
I may be mistaken, but I've never been able to get mine anywhere
near 186mph!!!!
I will still stand by my point that the bike is a
lot less responsive and is definitely slower.
It may also have something to do with the fact that my bike had the fuel injection re-mapped when the TRE mod was in place, so it would have been made to run at it's best with it in place. It certainly pops and bangs more dropping back down through the gears now without it in - it hardly even let out a stifled burble after the re-map!
