Thanks Sprock.

I thought it was hocus pocus, but ya never know either.
Should think those ebay stores pay people to write a positive comment.

I was just looking for something that could maybe make it a bit better at slow rpm, when driving really slow down town. And who wouldnt like better fuel economy, even its pretty fair 15 km/l for down town driving and up and down in throttle all the time.

ah throw some carb cleaner in the tank every month .... in any event they're not really
meant for low speed stuff , ya could put a smaller sprocket up front and a larger on
the rear to bring the rpm's up at low speed if you find your daily riding speeds require
that on a regular basis

I'd agree with you but thought a little more investigation might dig up some theory on this device.
here's a link which may add a ? to the immediate hocus pocus opinion.

Having looked at the item description it is not really saying exactly what's in the unit so perhaps there could be something behind the claim.

Maybe we should club together and buy one just for the hell of it. You can have first go Sprock.

I just found this hilarious thread about the magic booster from the Kwaka boys. Worth a read....

I believe the same effect can be achieved by strapping the the carcasss of a Honey Badger under your seat.

Make sure its dead though - Honey Badgers are fiersome things!

Ah, but they're so cute and probably considerably capacitance more than 1 Farad.
