Default Gimmick??

Just been idle browsing ebay and found this.. Gimmick or truth? Anyone used one and do they work? Sounds a bit iffy to be messing around with the ignition timing if you ask me..

Do a search......there's a way (on the curvy at least) of doing a mod to your bike which has the same effect and all for the price of free

I had the mod done to my bike and I felt a very slight difference in 2nd gear, but that could have been all in the mind

Fit a smaller sprocket on the front, job done

you can do it for free on the curvey no idea about the pointy (think it might be called TPS on the pointy?)

it wont make much of a difference, probably more of a placebo effect

TPS is a different thing all together and just smoothes the bike out below 3-4k. TRE I believe can be done free on the pointy too.

Search both to find out the low-down as they've both been covered alot.

Indeed I did. I bought the eaxct same one off ebay from the exact same person and it didn't do anything. Not a jot. Save your money and take the wife out.

TRE won't really do much for the performance of the bike unless you run with a higher RON fuel.

Discussed to death previously IMO.
