[Kornholio]

Right Dick, this is teh front wheeeeel and this is teh rear wheeeel.. you sit here and you yank this! got it?

Dude I hope you're talking about a motorbike here :/

I thought that TRE were available for around $30US?

Gear thing would help, had one on my old 250, sorta missed it on the ZXR, now i just count gears on the R6 (when i need to know) which is what the racers do anyway.

How does your gear change display work?

Suspension

Transistor ATRE $1.17 plus Plugs

Just curious as why any one would need a gear position display unit? I mean, there is no rule that says you must be in this gear to do this, and I am very sure that you would know if you were reving to high or low

Apart from that, taking yours eyes of the INCOMING is what will Hurt you.

so as I said, Just curious as to why?

Best bang for buck mod on my TLs was a TRE......combined with a yoshimura fuel injection adjuster its a different bike altogether....

Rider training.

[Cajun]

personally i don't think the TRE did fuck all really to my 600. did improve it a touch, but not that much, it did make a huge difference to the fueling on the 1k and the busa tho.

Best bang for buck mod i have done in 2 1/2 years is doing my sprockets(change the gearing)

Ripping out the baffles on my Hornet. I could hear my exhaust note which seems to be an octave lower than my cam chain sound (?) and encouraged me to rev the bike more. Definitley transformed my riding.

Rider training.

Very true.

I have just installed a 'HEALTECH' GIpro w/ATRE.

An aftermarket Gear Indicator with Advanced Timing Retard Eliminator.

I can now see what gear I'm in which is a nice bonus, more importantly however, it over-rides the factory limiter in gears 1 - 4 and at low RPMs. The bike now pulls cleanly from idle with no hesistation and on my maiden test ride I popped a wheelie from standstill without slipping the clutch, actually without really trying at all. It sounds much better at low RPM's as well.

It has completely changed the bikes throttle response, and its a cheap and easy modification that has not hurt the bike at all whats so ever, I only wish I had done this a year ago..... as far as bang for your buck goes its amazing, anyways its my top mod to date, whats yours?

I've fitted a TRE to my Busa and it has made it much more responsive down low and also smoothed the engine a lot in the lower gears. Just gotta keep an eye on the rear tyre in the wet though! Cost $43 US and it has to be a good value mod.

Haven't bought it yet but I read that K&N, BMC or one of those other brands of air filters can improve performance. Anyone testify to this?

[Shaun]

Very true.

Agree with that totaly

[Shaun]

Thats a good question which I also wonder about when I hear of these contraptions.

My question is what are you doing up at this ungodly hour of the morning on KB. I'm at work getting paid so I have an excuse

I,ve started training and can never sleep for about 3 weeks into it untill my body and mind gets used to having all the extra energy.

[Big Dave]

Best single improvement i've made to any motorcycle is installing an Ohlins Shock.

[R1madness]

Got to agree with jonbouy about the rider training. The next best mod (in my opinion) is a quality rear shock. They are worth about the same as 10hp in terms of speed, acceleration (out of a corner), not to mention safety and comfort. Buy WP.
