I have a 06 GSX1400 and am told they are spark retarded in the first 3 gears, was aslo told you can get a simple plug in module that overrides the retard. Its not a powercommander.
Can any one help?

I had an 06 GSX 1400, The item you are after is called a suzuki TRE. Timing Retard Eliminator.
Not sure of the exact details however I believe the bike is only retearded in the first half of the turn of the throttle through the first 3 or 4 gears.
The TRE tricks the ECU into thinking it's in fifth gear giving it full power on initial openeing.
I found a considerable difference in the power delivery.
Can't remember hearing about any warnings or issues with it however I'm sure it can't be ideal for the engine.
The only problem I found was the bike chewed the rear tyre's.Posted 1 year ago # -

Not sure if a TRE is really worth the money.
Save your bucks and invest in a PC5 when you fit a full exhaust system.
You could try gsx1400.org, I'm sure someone on there has tried every possible different combo.

AFAIK they don't make PCV for the 1400.
There are many ways to get more snap from the 1400.Firstly a PC3 USB with a retune will make a difference but it's not cheap.The best bang for buck mod i ever made was an '06 yamaha R6 throttle tube. It adds no power but makes the bike feel mental as your only about 1/4 turn from throttle closed to full noise.From what i've read on the .org fitting an ignition advancer plate in behind your ignition pickup will yield great results. but you must not do it in conjunction with a tre as your motor will ping.Look it up on http://www.gsx1400.org and there are pictures and detailed instructions on how to modify your plates screw holes to advance the ignition.Taking off the secondary throttle butterflies made my bike snappy, a bit too snappy. The main problem with that mod is it takes alot of the smoothness out of the bike but injects a whole lot of mongrel. Not recomended but it's zero cost.Bottom line is don't buy a tre, advance the ignition and get dyno proven results. The TRE gives no extra HP and costs money.If you have no joy finding the instructions, let me know here and i'll post a link.Posted 1 year ago #
