power band

when i get to 3/4 throttle were power band usually is it revs up kinda like it has one but i dont feeel it at all its like it should be there but its missing?
 
dude a powerband isnt something you buy right? its at a certian rpm range where you make peak power
 
well then why doesnt mine have one? i was reading and people say to get a new one. your right about what it does but im pretty sure you can buy one
 
i just got all new gaskets seals and bearings because i had an airleak.. i havent got to ride it at full peak yet tho so it mite have one im not sure
 
ya people on here say it to be funny
if you dont know how to drive a 2 stroke it will take a little to get used to it and actually feel the powerpand

Good place to start^^

You may not notice a perceivable power band depending on mods, engine wear, etc.
It could also be that your clutch is starting to wear to the point that when it gets to the peak on the band its slipping.

Or this could be a troll thread and for that I would give a 8/10, if not see above.

It tests whether your gaskets have sealed good. It is necessary after any new gaskets to assure you wont leak and blow it up.

What mods do u have? What jets are you running? Does it seem like it isnt winding out all the way or is there just no "hit" of the powerband.

And sorry. A powerband isnt a part but people like to joke about it

hey now :) now go put on your spiderman pull ups :D

yes some of us like to have fun on here, not to be mean

sounds like maybe a leak or wrong jetting

a blaster won't hit the powerband as hard a yz85 does, it comes on smoother more gradual
 
im going with bad jetting here..perhaps too rich, especially if you replaced seals and gaskets, it may have been jetted to compentsate for the airleak previously and not its too rich that th airleak is gone...?
