Aw, didn't even mention which colour powerbands

It's either that or they are very innocently describing the performance of the bike when it gets in to the highest RPM range at the top of each gear (because yes, there is more power comparatively up there).

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?

also, ive ridden a restricted nsr

the powerband is totally cut off by the restrictors, it just hits a wall at like 7-8000 rpm so he is just flat out lying

It has sold already as the the first person who saw it, bought it.

a powerband isnt necessarily ''peak power''

its as its named... a band of power.

i've found the R6 has 3.

hardly any power up to about 6000rpm

6000-10,000rpm has a moderate amount of power

10,000- 16,000rpm, it takes off.

Mine has 6 powerbands.. Top end of every gear
They're all different colours too. I checked.

[dextersaurus]

mine has red powerbands

i sometimes swap them over for blue ones though.

that means mines faster.

[Kickstart]

[dextersaurus]

Kickstart is always right.

Now stop arguing.

And find more people on ebay for me to ask about their powerbands

[mattsprattuk]

this thread is a massive failure.

Yam have got a lot to answer for.

[Chris750]

He's had it garaged "all threw winter"
