|  Timing Retard Eliminator I ordered a TRE (Timing Retard Eliminator) for my GSX 1400. It cost me about 35 british pounds with shipping, but I haven't had a chance to install it until now. (It's been cold and rainy here for the past week - in German it's called "scheiss Wetter!") Do any of you have a TRE installed on your bikes? Do they really make a difference in performance? Here's the link to eBay where I bought it, in case anyone doesn't know what a TRE is: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=7926820622

 | the tre does indeed help by smoothing out 1st - 4th gears. it also removes the top speed limiter if your bike is so equipped. i have one, and i wouldn't think of turning it off.

| So, the weather gods decided to be kind to us this weekend, and we have had two beautiful, sunny days. I took the chance to install my new cooler cover and my TRE, and take the bike out for a spin... I think that there is a British expression that sums it up best... How did that go again ... Oh yea ... BLOODY 'ELL! My 1400 is noticably more responsive - especially in 4th gear when I want to pass someone on the motorway. I took a 2 hour ride through the southern Black Forest ... what a trip! I got home an hour ago, and I'm still grinning  I would definitely recommend installing a TRE to anyone with a fuel-injected bike!
