cuz i was told they dont and also that they do.... thanx
ohh yea and mike good looks...

Yes, they do make a TRE for the 05 / 06 1Ks.
I took mine off.
I did really open up the lower three gears a noticable amount.
As for top end, it does in therory position the bike to go beyond the 186mph restrictor.
The down side is I lost the Gear Indicator functionality.... It constantly read it was in 5th gear.
There are TREs that are more robust and programmable... the Intelligent TRE... I might try one of those next.

Be careful out there... these bikes are not as stable bouncing off the limiter in 6th as the bigger bikes (Busa & ZX12).

I have a spread sheet that I use to determine theretical speeds for given gear ratios. It's helpful when swapping out sprockets to let you know what to expect per gear.
We could possible make a few changes and retrofit it for the 1K.

Be Safe.
