Satsol67 Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Dude if you havent gotten it by now everyone is fucking with you. You cant replace a powerband! Duh! I would say do some reading on how a 2 stroke motor works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dajogejr Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah....I had my laugh...that's for sure. A powerband is not a part at all. A powerband is how your two stroke runs, as in what RPMS it makes it's power, and HOW it makes it power.... This is a long running joke from any rider, period...two stroke, four stroke, etc. Kinda like a muffler bearing....it's an old gag. There is no such part as a "powerband"...it's a term used for how it runs. Hope this helps.... (sorry guys, couldn't let this guy take a beating anymore....)

dajogejr Posted November 2, 2006 Report Share Posted November 2, 2006 Yeah, the powerband, or motor characteristics get changed or "enhanced" has you do mods, every little thing from chaning air filter to a full on port job, pipes, etc. We're just having fun with you and keeping a long time running joke going. Many riders years ago would have the same question at one point or another.... :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
