haha , a powerband isnt somthing that exists that you can take on and off. it should be called a power range. it is the portion of your RPMs where your motor makes the most HP. like a 2 stroke has a very abrupt powerband , it " hits ". a 4 stroke feels more gradual as the power comes on. you cant just " buy a new powerband"

haha

[super_man37366]

well if you want to laugh. laugh at the guys in dirt wheels who wrote that b/c thats what it said.... something like it opens the powerband up more..... later

what???? what opens the powerband more

[Tommy 17]

mx is right all it is is where the engine makes it power...

u can change the power band by adding pipes and such.... it changes teh curve of the power... look at a dyno...

no **** i wanted to know what superman was talking about specificaly

[GreatAim]

do scramblers have powerbands? my friend told me that the chain driven automatics have them, to my understanding they are like belts....

[300exazzkikr]

everything has it's own power band.

[mopar 400]

:huh

[RedRage300ex]

yes everything does have its own powerband escentially. But more people refer to a "power band" when they are talking about 2 strokes. A 2 stroke's powerband is very abrupt and it hits hard and revs high. When you are dealing with a 4 stroke its more of a power curve..it doesnt really "hit hard" it justs kind of accelerates gradually and "curves" and tips off at wot..Hope I helped..

[GreatAim]

I know about that kind, he said you can buy it and replace them, the way i understand it is that it is like a belt, because on his scrambler he bought an "x-band" for it.

i had a dude ask me how high u can jump a dirt bike before you will break the powerband on impact.:rolleyes: i feel sorry for people like that :p ya know the inferior oh well

[phatswinn]

ok, a power band is just the most powerful point on the rpm chart, like on a dyno chart, where the horsepower of an engine peaks the power curve is at its highest, which is the power band of an engine,

[brokeitin3]

cuz i broke one once and the guy at the shop told me the new one was a bigger POWERBAND.:D :D

[-=Skot=-]

:huh

[Castor-426ex]

its a 6 inch wide rubber band about 6 foot long and wraps from the crankshaft to the gearbox...when you rev that bad boy up that rubber band winds up ...so when you let off the throttle....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz zziiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggggg gggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg ggggggggggggggggggg



abra cadabra powerband:D ;) :cool:

[stocktires]

ahhhh newbies, lol
I couldnt stop laughing! no beef

[2K1 300EX]

No offense but ya'll need to study up a little more on powerbands if you think it as an actual belt.

[lil400exman]

actuallly the um powerband u see runs off the erar shock and umm if u want to u can go abra kadbra and make a big powerband boom! lol this is so funny like when u here people say yeh the pipe really uncorked it it made the poerband better by making the motor have a biiiger band and more hp in most cases like when u hear ricky c. say my poerband was to high it was that he wasnt running enough rubber bands in his motor to get enough boinnng ! lol

[MX MadMann]

i was thinking about gettin a titaium powerband for my 400 , maby even a few of them. :devil

i seriously hate the word POWERBAND , it should have never been created and is only usefull in the demise of humans inferior brains.

[87Warrior]

i personally like the purple powerbands:rolleyes:

[$$$moneyex]

ya no i had a kid in school today ask me if his dirtbike had a powerband and if he could buy a new one, and how long it took before you have to replace it. it makes me hurt inside when i think people dont no what a powerband is if they have a fourwheeler or a dirtbike.

[Castor-426ex]

i took my wifes thong and made it a powerband....lets just say its weak...LMGDAO jk:devil

[timewass]

Personally I think the red powerbands are the best. I used the blue ones for a while, but kept breaking them. Glad they are cheap, well at least the red ones are. lol

Oh... and whatever you.....don't mix the colors of your powerband, you'll regret it.

[lil400exman]

just make sure you use ti keepers:p i tell if one of those things go ur topend is fried!:huh :blah :p ;) :) :o :D i learned the hard way!!!!!!!!lol:square
