The GIPRO folks have just released a new TRE, one that doesn't disable the on dash gear indicator. You can get it from CalSportbike.com.

The all new X-TRE power box from HealTech Electronics is designed for Japanese motorcycles originally equipped with an in-dash gear position indicator.

X-TRE is an advanced Timing Retard Eliminator, which preserves the function of the OEM dash gear indicator. It is achieved by having a microchip encode/decode the communication link between the ECM and the dashboard in real time. This feature is unique, as a traditional TRE disables the factory gear indicator.

This module improves partial-throttle response in gears 1-3, and bypasses the speed limiter on 1000cc+ bikes. It adds as much as 7 horsepower (e.g. the B-King in 2nd & 6th gear), while improving throttle response and acceleration in the lower gears. The unit automatically turns off the mapping in Neutral for smooth idle operation.

Just like the HealTech GIPRO w/ATRE, the X-TRE comes with user selectable gear maps, offering the same benefit and flexibility. But now, there is no requirement to have an external gear indicator when the bike already has one, although we understand many riders will still want the GIPRO unit for the large bright LED display.

And of course, for bikes without an OEM dash gear indicator, the GIPRO w/ATRE is still the best option available today.

The X-TRE unit mounts under the fuel tank, out of sight, and works well with (or without) other electronic devices like a Power Commander or a Speedo Healer, etc.

This tiny box installs in under 30 minutes on most bikes connecting through OEM plugs (only one wire would need to be cut during installation). HealTech bundles high quality gel-sealed quick connects to make quick, simple, and reliable connections without the need for soldering.

I do not understand how running the same fuel map from 5th gear for all gears is a good idea.

I have the GiPro from cals's and it said it would not increase any hp, i got it just to smooth out the throttle response which it did, doesn't jerk like before when I twist the wrist a little bit.

I have the Ivan's samrt TRE but I've been looking at the GiPro lately for the gear indicator.

This TRE definitely needs more love. The mfg has posted dyno charts of the before/after installation...both on the Busa and the B-King.

On the BK, the TRE in second gear just made 15 more hp. Not a bad boost for a $129 mod.

Here's a Busa dyno from their site. It appears their dyno is very conservative, but you can see the change with/without the TRE.
