TL1000s help

[saul]

Could someone point me in the right direction please. I would like to know what the benifits are of installing a TRE on a 97 TL1000s.

Why do they need a grounding wire and what is the ECU number of a 97 original ecu.

Thanks

Well done and congratulations on choosing the most technical forum to ask such a question sir!
I do believe that there is no benefit in installing a TRE on the '97 models as they are unrestricted' out of the box.
But then again...I'm not a technical chap

The TRE will remove the timing retard on the first 3 gears, personaly as they struggle to keep the front wheel on the ground stock its not something I have ever bothered with , better to spend money on maintenance and upgrading suspension , etc.
The ECU on both 97's I have is 32920-02F01 , however I think these are the replacement recall ECU's .

The main difference between 97 and the later TL's is in the inlet ports , the 97 having bigger round shape ports , the later ones a D shape that gave better low end performance at the expense of some top end . Despite popular opinion , the later bikes probably have slightly better real world performance , however I kind of like the grumpy less refined nature of the 97 , its more hot rod like.

Sure thing, I've had 4 '97's and know where you're coming from.
I was,however under the impression that the 1997 models did not require a TRE as their first 3 gears were not 'retarded' .
Were all those that advised me incorrect? Intrigued sir

Possibly , I am not 100% sure , perhaps that's why I have never felt the need to get one ?

Yeah I'm 99% certain that is the case. We also had a 1999 SX(?) model which someone did a 'Norfland' version of a TRE ( .20c diode from Dick Smiths) on it and we certainly felt the difference.
Best investment on a TL is to score some new suspenders and brakes IMO...which I know Mr Saul has done.


Edit...my last one also had a -1 front sprocket and a +3 rear. Giddy up!

Sigh no you are both right. It was all a bit of a test see my post

Most 97's (if not all) , however did go through a recall process where the ecu's were replaced there is the gap where the TRE comes into play.

FFS...I was actually right and wrong?! Talk about covering all bases!
