How a "PowerBand" works on a 2 Stroke

[Str8 Jacket]

I am more confused than ever now. I was told that you couldn't replace a power band after I broke the last one. I had to buy a whole new bloody bike!

I hit my powerband the other day and it threw me off.
Is it possible to get 'beginner' or adjustable powerbands?

Just soak the powerband overnight in oil...it will soften the powerband....

Is any oil OK? Could I use peanut oil and get a nice exhaust smell?

Use Castor oil for flexible powerband.

Beware when fitting different powerbands....I used a YZ 80 one once and it was darn viscious. Darn near threw me off the back. Them ones are not to be messed with.

The A50 had the red powerbands right?

My A50 seemed to be missing its powerband, maybe that's why it was the slowest Austin in town??

I got circumsised last month.
Sold the foreskin to Catepillar, to use for a Haul truck power band.
Yeah boy. I is right bigggg.

I never knew that golf balls had rubberbands! But that makes me wonder how you found that out?

Take one golf ball as a bored child, go to your fathers extensively stocked workshop, place golf ball in vice, grab one of your fathers saws that isn't suited for the job, and cut the shell off the golf ball. Initially you will find lots of rubberbands, and after removing what seems like a mile or two rubber strips, you will find the bounciest ball in the world.

Oh how so many of my fathers golf balls would go missing.

CAT called, they said they want a refund - a truck has broken down on the ice road.

And had to 'limp' home.

Thinking about it further, I'm sure if you fitted a powerband backwards, the power would diminish with revs. I'm sure Honda do this on purpose in order for their buyers not to get scared of the potential when riding.

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.
