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.

Link has to be inserted with url wraps.. that's what clicking the "link" button does.

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.
