How a "PowerBand" works on a 2 Stroke

[avgas]

So there is actually a closet.

Nah more a flamboyant dressing room

[avgas]

And had to 'limp' home.

The female driver was expecting more from it, and has since replaced it with a V belt

Nah more a flamboyant dressing room

....full of Honda branded Tutu's......

You're not wrong, I do own a Honda. I'm so bloody ashamed that I've totally dismantled it and stashed it in various corners of my garage in case anyone visiting should recognize it.

Cock...........

Get a gun and shoot it, then look at what is left.

Right-Oh n00bs, here's the skinny.

On your two stroke motorcycle, under the tank you'll find a dense little black cylinder, approx half the size of a red bull can screwed firmly to the frame by a couple of bolts. It will have a couple of little skinny coloured wires going in one end and a big thick one out the other end and going to your spark-plug.

This is the coil.

It does however, also contain the PowerBand which is why it's so dense if you remove it. The PowerBand is similar in its design to a golf ball. Essentially, there is one of those really thick rubber bands wound up tight as all hell in there. This rubber band if removed and stretched out would be about 30 feet long so leave it in there. You can, however, make noticeable changes to your 2 strokes power by fitting the PowerBand from another model. Suzuki A50 PowerBands fitted to my VJ21 RGV250 made it wheelie off the throttle in 3rd gear easily. I also removed the mufflers to aide performance and you can easily spin the wheel out of turn 1 at Manfeild once this has been done.

Hope this helps in your "Google Quest" for PowerBand info retard.

If anyone is interested I have a set of new, old stock powerbands for an H2R Kawasaki 750. As you can imagine if you are aware of the legendary H2R powerband, these aren't small so won't suit sub 250cc bikes and may be a tight fit even in some bigger bikes.
At this stage looking to sell as a set, but may consider separating them if I can find buyers for all three.
Attached is a pic of the neighbours kid holding one so you can get an idea of size. Note that it is still in it's FedEx wrapping from when I purchased them (ex-TKA), all three still have intact wrapping and are ready to bolt on and go. Expressions of interest invited. Genuine buyers will be aware of the value of these hard to find parts. Be warned, these are not for the faint of heart.
Wrapping is signed by Kork Ballington, Greg Hansford, Murray Sayle and Neville Doyle and as such are collectors items in their own right.

...what gauge is the rubber band....

...what gauge is the rubber band....

To be honest I'm not sure, perhaps a question for a Kawasaki anorak type?
I'd guess it would have to be at least a 117A judging by this chart: http://www.lee-rubber.com/sizes.htm

That depends how much you want to phuck the ball up.
