Bonneville America Forums Forums Technical Forums General Tech TTP vs. Procom

Getting ready to buy one or the other. Looking for owner input that has experience with both. Thanks in advance.

Any complaints with the TTP igniter ? Somebody please respond.

I've posted many times that TTP is the way to go. Firestarter if you can afford it.

#1 on the FireStarter

Thanks Ken/Ryk, that's what I was looking for. I found the procom threads no problem, just had trouble finding TTP threads. Ordering a Firestarter today. Thanks again!!!

I didn't post because I only have experience with the Procom, it worked OK but the bike was hard to start with it. Not really hard but harder.

Thanks Ian, I've read many of your posts, your opinion is always welcome. I've made many highly significant mods, based on your experience. Your experience has also been invaluable in lots of troubleshooting scenarios. My bike would not be what it is today, if not for this forum & people like you.

I ran a Procom unit for years. I really liked the higher rpm because my stock ignitor cut out at like 7400. I never could get the power band to feel the same as the stock unit, and I had tuned and re-tuned it and rode with a laptop to tune it on the road and re-test... Eventually my super old laptop crashed and it was the only Windows computer I had so I lost all my tunes. I never had a problem with starting or stumbling once the dial position was set properly. I bought the TTP Firestarter a couple years ago now with the Stage II tune and a 9000 rpm limit. It is smooth throughout the entire throttle and starts right up even faster than the Procom unit did. The only issue I ever had with it was that the original one I ordered did not come with the 9000 rpm limit I had requested, it was set at 8500 and it would not go higher so I sent it back for a re-tune. I still have my stock unit just in case but I doubt I'll ever need it. For the price, the TTP unit is the way to go unless you want to spend a ton of time tuning your own, but the Procom unit is not Android or Mac compatible. At least it wasn't when I had one. I believe TTP can reprogram your stock unit as well, for a higher rpm range.

I really didn't have any stumbling issues or anything like that but it wasn't my bike either.

Thanks Dave for sharing your experience, I'll post my TTP experience soon.

Just so happens that on TTP's website, there are 50 something reviews of the firstarter that are well worth reading. Many of the reviews also described previous problems that were corrected with the firestarter. It's a good read, takes 5 mins. It was an enlightening experience, check it out.

Another vote for Firestarter. It is really worth the extra cost.

I had a pro com for a couple years. Ran great when you could get the bike started! Switched back a forth with the OEM unit for way too long. Got the fire starter stage 2. Starting problem gone, winds out faster. I am quite pleased with it.

Interestingly, the guy I sold the pro com to has had no starting issue and said its the best mod yet. Go figure!
