Timing Retard Eliminator. The 109's retard the timing in gears 1-3 and then its normal in 4 and 5. This little gadget makes it think that it is in 4th gear all the time and gives full power in all gears.
 
Thanks for the explanation. Does this cause any problems with jerky riding in gears 1-3? All that power in first gear can be quite a jolt on the rider. Also, how does it affect the transmission?
 
New C109RT owner here! Only rolled 200 miles on her this weekend but holy crap this bike is the best i've ever ridden. Anyone else ride this weekend?
 
Just got mine installed.
What a pain in the ass!!!

No decent weather til the weekend, won't have any feedback til then

Gary - thanks for the quick shipping
 
No salt here yet
Very little sand, mostly on the shoulders.

Rode all winter last year, just more selective about where and how long.
:)

Every time I do work on the damned bike I realize that I need smaller hands and fingers!
 
This bike is amazing with the TRE! I don't need any more performance mods that is for sure. :mrgreen:

I would like to make it a little louder though. Anyone drilled the stock pipes? How much louder would you say it is? I don't want to de-baffle because I know it is teeth shattering loud if you do.
 
Check M109riders.com
There is a video including sound clips of someone drilling 8 - 3/8" holes in each pipe.
Since they have the same exhaust, same effect.
The more miles I put on mine, the more I like the sound. It's not obnoxious loud, but not whisper quiet either.

I know when I bought the 109 the sales guy was telling me that V&H has some exhaust system that boosts the HP to equalize having 2000cc. With the TRE, I'm more than happy with the boost I've got!

Hell, a cruiser that can compete with my buddy's Ninja is alright by me!
 
Nice to see you're still ridin' Loki, I was done 4 weeks ago. :-(

My brother put 4 1" holes on each baffle on his 9er, definitely louder but not too loud.
 
our bikes are pretty fast now. does this give it a lot more snap outta the gate or just a little more. how much does it costs and will it be reliable?
 
So what kind of things are you seeing that have changed? I've noticed my engine "knocking" for lack of a better term, and some hesitation on accel..Did you have any of those symptoms?
 
Thanks Grandpatractor. I was curious how it started with the timing advanced......
Hey Loki, TRE is the Timing Retard Eliminater.
Later on Skip D
