Ignition Retarder

cool, i plan to do it mid ride-out to see if i can tell the differance

Its easy, if you take your time it could take you sixty seconds and thats with a break...........and its free.....

This might be a daft question but does this mod do exactly the same as a G-pack thing that just clips into the loom??

Dan

Does it do the same as the smart TRE too?????

yes & yes

AFAIK

Guess I'll add it to the list of things to do then!!!

I think that is slightly misleading Northy ...

The retard circuit is active between say 3-4000 rpm (can't remember exact revvs, and can't be bothered to look it up ) .. in 2nd and 3rd ... so it will not effect outright power in 2nd or 3rd (like northy said) ... however there is no actual addition or 'moving' (where I think it is a bit misleading northy) ... just a bit of subtraction in the 3-4k mark with the device activated .... so all this mod will do is give you back the little bit that the retard circuit would have robbed in the 3-4k area

The actual power loss and if it is detectable is debatable, but it WILL be loosing you power ... its free to eliminate (on the curvy), and it won't do the bike any harm, so why not?!??

Oh and can someone make a note of where the wires are in the connector as I need to put them back on my trackbike and I can't remember which one went in which hole

Ta ,

But just to clarify, is that looking from the back of the plug 'wire in side', or the 'mating' side

I presume its as if I was looking at the mating side of the plug i.e. The 3rd pin on top row (left to right) is the red/yellow right?!?!!?

To be honest the pin numbers might actually be molded in the plug ... I can't remember and not near my bike to look

Yes that is looking at the mating face, ie looking at the end you would put the blade in to release the wire. Numbered left to right........
