Title: Powerbands?
Post by: The_Steve_Man on March 15, 2014, 09:52:09 AM
I am 3 wheeler guy so I don't know much about redoing powerbands on a 4 wheeler. Can somebody give some info on this?  This guy said if you have them redone you can get more power.

A power band is a sweet spot coming into the main jet where the pipe works perfect and it pulls good. Nothing more than a sweet spot on the slide

Sorry, I could not figure out why the link was not working. Power bands are not physical parts you replace on a bike. Those who experience the power band often laugh at remarks in the add.

Oh so funny  :rofl:, I was trying not to insult you. There are so many of the new riders that run stock and are not aware of any power band. On the other hand, I do not have a power band as my bikes make tons of power 24/7.

I have done extensive research on this subject since I read about the powerbands.  Since I have a 250r 3 wheeler and it SO much different than a trx,  that if I braid a yellow and purple powerband that I will get maxium power in this part of the country with the angle of the sun in the polar vortex.
