I bought a red powerband off ebay. Makes me go 100mph!!!!11!!111 Very Happy

Nah lol, its something like the rev range where the power really kicks in. 2 strokes apparently have very narrow but fierce powerbands...

It goes round your con rod and gives the bike a boost on higher revs.

I believe you can get them in different colours too. Someone did post a pic once.

yea if you get the right model of powerband off ebay, then you should notice better preformance. standard powerbands are crap, but aftermarket ones are usually very good.

i think phantomtec was selling a powerband a while ago...

They're just playing with you.

A powerband is just a section of the rev range with particularly fierce power delivery... (For example, hitting 7000 revs on a GPZ you feel a massive boost of power)

It's not a physical component.

I didnt have enough top end out of my powerband, so I used a skirtingboard ladder to make it higher.

@ this thread...

In all seriousness though, the RS has two powerbands - one per cylinder.
Some people buy cast/ported and polished cylinders to utilise the powerbands properly.
