Synthetic oil
changeing gears feels as smooth as cutting butter now,never really believed the hype but for $10 more i figured what the hey and gave it a shot...will never go back to regular oil now,it made that much of a noticeable difference.

Next,Kand N air filter
besides being visibly more unrestrictive,you can actually feel the difference,now,when i bought my bike it was mapped without the filter in,reason being it was used strictly for drag raceing...also 10% fat to accomodate the NOS,so not wanting to ride i installed the stock filter that came with the bike this obviously changed the airflow it was mapped for.so I decided to go with the K and N filter before getting it re-mapped and it has made all the difference in the world with low end performance

i disengaged the TRE the IGPRO,now just use it for gear indicator,I forgot how sensitive the throttle really is,took me a good hr ride to get re aquainted with it...good news is the TRE does work with smoothing out the first few gears but i was getting to the point where I no longer wanted "smooth" and considering i havent even come close to 186mph i see no need to use the TRE for top end performance.have been up around 160 a few times and honestly,thats fast enough for me

just wanted to pass on some observations I made with the little changes to the bike

overall,extremely pleased with it

I use my GI Pro the same - as a gear indicator only. IF I ever wanted that extra bit of top speed it only takes a second to turn on the TRE anyway.

What are you using for fuel enrichment? Just one map set rich all the time? I have the hub - allowed me to run two maps.

yeah,just one map...Id like to be able to run 2,gas mileage is suffering a bit 25-30mpg but thats about all i notice with it being 10% rich.

With the PC hub I can switch between two maps via a handlebar mounted toggle. A couple of times I've forgotten to switch back to my normal map after spraying - don't notice much difference at all.
Luckily I haven't forgotten to hit the switch BEFORE I spray - that would probably be bad.

Nothing better than when your bike feels just right !! The TRE does smooth out the jumpyness (is that even a word ? LOL) in the first couple of gears, and rpm's ?
