I would buy one, I dont like f&^%ing around with stuff like that, too many war stories of bad shit happening..or wasted dosh..

Have heard good things about these on the ZX10 forum - you get a TRE & a gear indicator in one unit.

I just fitted one of the GiPro with ATRE. Have yet to try it yet but will next monday.

They dont give you anymore power over 6000rpm. They also help with part throttle applications.

If you get one of any of the brands make sure you dont get the locked ones that is always operating. It needs to shutoff in nuetral or you have to make a lot of adjustments.

Stay on the gas...maybe you'll save it, maybe you won't, but at least it will end the suspense....

Yeah, I've got one of these I picked up last year. The ATRE part works really well, and you can definitely noticed the difference between switching it on and off. The only problem I have is the gear indicator seems to like changing it's mind fairly regularly, especially as I go on and off the throttle.

Hey have you tried both the hard and the soft setting?

From what i heard you need to remap it to run the hard setting but the soft setting is ok without a remap.

Yep, spot on. On the hard setting it ran like a pig, but on the soft setting it goes like a cut snake down low 8)

A retard eliminator? Is that a masked gunman in Neka's neighborhood?

No, you've gotten confused. We're talking about a timing retard eliminator...that's the masked gunman in Neka's neighbourhood that stole his watch :wink:
