Anybody ridden a dirtbike with a "powerband" installed?

[88hatch5_0]

LOL

I had this guy buy an R1 from us at the shop not too long ago. Of course when anyone purchases a bike (especially a 1000cc bike) I always ask them if they had ridden before. He told me that he had never ridden on the street before but he did ride a friends YZ250 dirtbike with a "powerband" installed!! LMAO I just looked at him and said "are you sure you want to buy this R1?"

People amaze me sometimes!





Oh and by the way........ he totalled the R1 just a few days later!!!

haha, for some reason I thought you were being serious, or were talking about a expansion chamber :rolleyes:


I had a 96 kx80 when I was racing I put one in.

[greenbullitt]

[Chopped54]

I have noticed since gas prices have gone up, an influx of people riding bikes that have no business being on one....

[BigJ03Mach1]

Thats 2 new things I have heard about today "pressurizing your oil" and now the powerband I need to get with it...

well you know they say their are 2 kinds of riders

ones that gone done and ones that will go down

[SNEAKY]

i put one in second, and third gear on my YZ250, it would have been uses less in first :eek:

My thumper has a power band from idle to rev limiter. It cost a pretty penny.

He could be talkin about alot of shit. They have this deal called powernow valve it actually makes the intake port a little smaller and puts a divider in it to increase torque and midrange power, but maybe he meant powervalve, who the fuck knows! I just have a 13.5 je piston, a ported 06 cyl head, and a RHC 187 cam in my 450 that gives it instant hit from low to super over rev. I challenge most 600s 750s and lots of jokers riding 1000s to race my 450 in the 1.8th. I bet you get smoked.....

Didn't you trap over 90 with it?

[AnotherRedHead]

Didn't you trap over 90 with it?

i havent taken it to the 1/8th, but i know it would trap over 90, it goes through all the gears quick. Real quick. I hardly can ever get out of 2nd or 3rd gear on a mx track, or Im going so fast, its hard to slow down for turns

[busted90]

I had on installed on my old 250 one in each gear. :D

[frsslt1]

nick, i'll run it when its warm enough for traction

[GregW]

I had an inline 4 powerband installed with jet engines in my carbohydrates for the canister to work better...

Pretty sure he's talking about the Powerband on the dirtbike..
BAck when I had my CR500R I had many many many guys ask About my "BOOSTMAKER" or where did I buy my "powerband thingy" at,ect...
That bike was scarey fast though...

[Buick355]

Maybe they're talking about the powervalve? (2stroke)

[Sean88gt]

My libido has a powerband.
