Its never good when the bike suddenly launches it self backwards along the motorway when the powerband kicks in.

I think I've got a spare one in the shed off my old Kwaka H2 750, not sure if it would be compatible with a Yammy 250 though....
On a slightly more serious note, it looks like it must have been working well enough to do burnouts, judging by pic # 2. Maybe it's just got a bit of tyre rubber blocking it up?

clearly its powerband has become wrapped around the rev counter, thus disabling both. However the powerbank is a fickle creature so can be eniticed out by a nice clean set of cans or powdered valves, or forced out with copiuos amounts of two stroke fumes.
serious note though, could the rev counter not going be a symptom of the powervalve not being activated at high revs...

You have to double the 750 powerbands over to fit the 250's...I think I've got a spare one in the shed off my old Kwaka H2 750, not sure if it would be compatible with a Yammy 250 though....

Could be difficult with a three cylinder 750 though as I don't think you can split them.
Also, is there a difference between air cooled and liquid cooled powerbands? Sorry, I'm a bit rusty on my two smoker stuff....it's been a while...

Also for anyone reading this thread, I can get in by special order Rainbow Colored power bands for Hondas specifically.

Can you get the powerbands in for the 4 strokes? If I could upgrade my CBR250 to have a powerband and flux capacitor I wouldn't need to purchase a 2 stroke. I wonder if it will still sound like a 4 stroke. If not i guess i could put on some 2 stroke expansion chambers to get the powerband sound

Yeah, you just trim them to fit... Any good Stanley knife will do the job. But you could have a point about the liquid-cooled motors. My old T500 twin was air-cooled and the powerband only worked up to 6,000rpm by which time it was stretched to the limit. These liquid-cooled motors rev a bit higher which could lead to over-stretching and... Oh, maybe that's his problem, he's fitted an air-cooled powerband to his liquid-cooled bike!Could be difficult with a three cylinder 750 though as I don't think you can split them.

BINGO! Another problem solved by KB!

Don't forget to bring a towel
Maybe the rubber powerband wasn't wound up tight enough, causing it to be inoperable. Some sugar added to the petrol tank should sort it.

The rainbow powerbands are made to fit MVX250 Honda's
It makes them sound like a 3 stroke ! Like a cross between a RGV250 and a VTR250
