TRE ( timing retard eliminator) is a little plug in resistor which tricks the bikes computor into thinking its in 5th gear at all times instead of retarding the ignition timing a bit in the lower gears to tame down power delivery, most people probably buy them because it also defeats the speed limiter on 01 to 07 bikes which is activated by 6th gear, yes som TRE"s come with a gear indicator but in my case I did not want to try this unit as it still runs through the gear position switch which was what I was trying to bypass as I suspected it was faulty and indeed it was.
