TRE-Timing Retard Eliminator

Hi peeps. can anyone tell me if the TRE are worth while getting for the suzuki sv? The write up about them sounds really good, but i dont know anyone who has fitted one to their bike. I would appreciate any feedback in regards to this. If they do work, would it have any long term effect on the engine? Cheers, Ray

ps. does anyone know what sort of resistors i need and how to do the diy version on a pointy sv??

as far as i no ther not worth getting and plus your ment 2 beable 2 do the same thing ther ment 2 do my dis-connecting a few wires ther was a thread on this a few weeks back try and search and you may get it.

search on here, somewhere theres a link to the mod to do the same thing but without the box,

but if your not happy cutting into your own wiring the boxes are what £45 or something, youll always get rid of it on ebay,

opinion on the merits of a tre on an SV vary,,,,,some people say they make a diff so people just cant tell,
from what ive seen they do make a diff on the thou, but wether or not its much on the sv, well search around, theres loads of old threads on the pros and cons....

hey all, iv'e just ordered one myself heared good things about them, it's in the post as we speak only cost 30lbs (bucks). i'll let you know the result good/bad/same? .

i think its something like 2 wires you just cut but if you do that search and find the other thred that will sort you out.

i dont mind paying or cuting my wires, just want to make sure its worth it. Cheers for the quick replies tho ppl

Not worth buying, can be done by just cutting some wires, also the difference is not noticeable when riding especially on a common low state of tune engine.

my tre arrived this morning and after the dilema whether to finish work early and come home and fit it or stay all day i decided to stick it out all day, anyway it's on now and i have to say there is a definate change. I'm not saying the bike want's to wheely everywhere but there is definatly more torque in gears 1 to 4, 5th and 6th feel the same. In all bike pulls off quiker and maybe it's just me but the gear changes feel smoother.

Worth paying 34.99 and with the new connecters which come with it it's an easy re-fit if you don't want it on.

Well that's me, here's a link.

HI
Was going to have a look at tre, must be worth £35 for a try but your link does not work, have you another link to where you bought it from, cheers

sorry about the link, i can't get it to work either.
just google tre-retarder there are plenty of sites to look at, all roughly same price.
