I just purchased the GiPro as my first mod. Havent installed it yet but from what others are saying its quite an improvement for the money. Exhaust is tricky. Some people have put the T.O.R.S. on and not liked them....others do its a matter of taste. But what ever you chose, you found the right place to get info!

Had tors for 18 months since bike was new..now added Gipro...fantastic+!!!!would put gipro on first now as it is best bang for the buck and gives gear indicator as a bonus!

Gipro-atre

HealTech Electronics Ltd. - Makers of the SpeedoHealer, GIpro and X-TRE - do a little research on their site for the Gipro-atre model for our Rockets..the R3owners site has a lot of installation helps/hints as they struggled thru the process..mine took 60 minutes as I read all the prior posts and benefitted from their experience.Do a search here and everything will be explained..Bob GIpro - Gear Indicator with Advanced TRE for Suzuki and Kawasaki motorcycles this might be better to go direct

Short response,
It UNrestricts the first 3 gears.
(meaning it'll run like a scalded ape)
and the blue or red gear indicator is nice too,
no more searching for 6th..


I couldn't give a truthful answer on the poll,
so I didn't vote.
My first mods were either
1) stebil horn
or
2) flipmeisters clamps
can't remember which was the actual first install.

As I understand a tune allows an EFI to be reprogrammed and have timing adjusted and fuel remapped [like rejeting carbs]. The Tuneboy has the added benefits of correcting the factory speedometer error, removing the factory timing retard in 1,2,3, gears, allows the secondary butterflies to open fully, and removes the factory top speed limiter. As opposed to a Power Commander witch will only adjust air fuel ratios to help compensate for intake / exhaust changes If I am mistaken I'm sure someone will correct me soon.

I bought some cool F*** You valve caps on eBay, they are not very PC, so that is a farking bonus.
