Bansh-eman Posted September 7, 2007 Report Share Posted September 7, 2007 are you sure you understand what the powerband is? your motor is not goig to hit the powerband right away... the powerband is a range within your rpm's that your motor pulls its hardest... ech gear has its own powerband per say. as you shift it will hit or miss depending on the rpms.

Snopczynski Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 You can try adjusting the needle and see if it heps the throttle response at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bansh-eman Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 your pipes and jetting can throw your band off if they dont match the rest of your motor work. thats why you will hear time and time your killing that motor with those pipes... or your starving that they with those carbs... your intake, porting and exhaust all need to be working together to get max power out of the motor, or else your only going to gain as much as the one thats the most restrictive...

Hilarious Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 Bansh-eman dont get me wrong my banshee runs relly good, but i get mad for those seconds i dont feel that power. maybe it just me the i want more power everitime i ride. What do you think Bro? Thanks for your time Guys Its not just you. Trust me. I want more power all the time. LOL Please dont take this the wrong way as being a asshole or anything but, you may need to adjust your riding style. Especially if your not totally used to your banshee. You need to "keep on the pipes" so to say. So the powerband is right there, when you need it. Does that make sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coupelx Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 You are probably used to a 4 stroke where the power is always 'there' per say. You need to ride higher in the rpms to stay in the powerband. i ride around just below it and when i want to go i just downshift and hammer on it, viola power! other wise diring spirited riding you will have to figure out where your up shift and down shift points are in each gear to keep it under power. I have a few friends that hate 2 strokes simply because they actually have to ride the bike and 'do work' where as riding a 4 stroke to me fool proof. dont get me wrong my cousins yfz450 is fast but it doent give me the power thrill my banshee does.

Bansh-eman Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 if your used to riding a 4 stroke then your having to re-learn pretty much... with a 2 stroke if you want to stay in the power band you got to learn to work the clutch... its all about keeping your rpms up there so if you have to pull the clutch to rev her up then thats what you have to do to stay on the pipe aka remain in the power band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flattrakker Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 rev the piss out of it.. when i got my banshee i was like come on hurry up powerband kinda the same scenario but i was riding the throttle like a four stroke... rev it up thats what its made to do..
