Default TRE

I have bought a TRE for my K7 but am unsure whether to fit it as it may invalidate my warranty...plus I have only been riding for 3 months and this is my first bike. Will it make that much difference? Should I get some more experience first? Am I mad? What do you think?

You may aswell fit it, or if you can get your money backby returning it and just detaching the two wires which'll do the same job for no money at all.
TRE doesn't make much noticeable performance increases IMO but u may find it more consistant and smoother.

Whats a TRE ???

i take it it's different from a "tree" - –noun 1.a plant having a permanently woody main stem or trunk, ordinarily growing to a considerable height, and usually developing branches at some distance from the ground. 2.any of various shrubs, bushes, and plants, as the banana, resembling a tree in form and size. 3.something resembling a tree in shape, as a clothes tree or a crosstree.
