    TLRMan.. FYI

    Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be available to offer my services to those that need help with their bikes.
    If it runs like crap, has carbs, FI, or you are just in need of a tune, just gimme a holler. I no longer do internal engine work, just dialing them in.

    I also have chain breaker/rivet tool, and carb sticks, as well as set up for Powercommander tweeks. TRE's are also available for your Suzuki too. We make our own to keep costs way down.

    If you are looking for a little education of how and why, I don't mind showing you at all. You will usually get your hands dirty too.

    So, if you are in a bind, just shoot me a PM.
    I'm sure there are a couple of guys and gals on this site, that have had some great results.

    Until then, ride safe!

    Mark

    Mark is a magician. Well worth going to him for whatever you need. By day's end you WILL know more about your bike than most would ever need to, and your ride will run better than new.


    I just wish I could have enjoyed my newly 'tuned by mark' machine before some old fart totalled it a month later.

    We can at least check them out, you'll have to do the running for shims if needed.

    i didn't have my cutoff sleeve tshirt with me, so there was no way for me to pull couches singlehanded through windows.

    i guess you should charge me triple and give jim a cut.

    Re: TLRMan.. FYI

    Thanks to Mark, I was able to take a link out of the chain on my Tuono so it wheeli------ errrr I mean HANDLES better

    Mark has helped me wrench on just about every bike I've ever owned.. and if you're in the mood for listening to someone, he's starting to get pretty good at talking for hours on end, too

    Mark may not be able to weld a banana onto a Red Sox ticket like Tricky Mike, but he CAN sync the throttle bodies, install a TRE and tweak a Power Commander on an endangered African White Rhino.

    Your bike WILL run better once Mark gets his hands on it. That's a fact.

    what in gods name is TRE? (had to ask...)

    Mark do you just charge normal labor rates if someone brings the new parts? How does it all work... can you change tires?

    Thanks!

    "Timing Retard Eliminator"... many Suzuki's have an ECU with two maps, one of which retards the timing slightly in the lower (first three?) gears.... installing a TRE removes this by tricking the ecu into thinking it's always in 6th gear.
