I take it it’s a rebuilt title bike? nope clean title bike the guy low sided it at 5 mph, he showed me pictures of the damage after, gave me all the damaged parts, i mean it was nothing he was just in a bind for money pretty bad and i steped up. drove 7 hours to west virgina to pick it up, the ride sucked but it was worth it.

Timing Retard Eliminator, I believe you will lose your gear indicator, not sure if there is one on there and i believe your neutral light. At least that’s what happened to my buddies bike. Is it on the road yet? Or do you need to wait till Monday? ---

yea, you’ll want to get retuned after your tre. it makes the bike think it’s in 5th gear so it won’t retard the timing when you’re in other gears. basically makes it much smoother and you get more up top of your gears. theres a few companies that make aftermarket gear indicators with tre built in. I just have the regular one with no gear indicator, it’s not hard to count gears and after a month or so of riding you’ll know what gear you’re in. also look into removing the secondary butterflies, helps the midrange power. ---
