Aaaaaahh, of course, how silly of me to not know that it means that!
....Explains everything lol.
So it means 'misfire',
but what does 'gerund' mean??

I have no clue why it 'sputters' in first and second with the TRE removed . . but, if you refit it to the bike it will not have any negative effect on the engine at all.
All the TRE is doing is making the ECU recognize only 5th gear all the time, and in doing so 1st and 2nd gears have FULL ignition timing advance instead of retarded ignition timing as the ECU timing map is set from the factory to eliminate wheelies and wheelspin, basically just softens up the power in the first 2 gears (especially done to protect blowhards that are amateurs in the riding skills department) lmao!
the 1999 and 2000 year models of the Busa have "a man's timing map" installed from the factory and consequently have no need to have a TRE (Timing RETARD Eliminator) fitted.
Hope this helps,

I had to look up "gerund" myself.
Take a verb, and call it a noun as well.
sputter: verb - engine is struggling, hesitating, misfiring
(See "Schlepcar" WONDERBUG "Go West, Young Schlepcar" : WONDERBUG : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive)
sputter: noun - the result of the above, "the engine makes a sputter."
