    unfortunately - the Tri-Z power band will only fit in the Tri-Z engine.

    Are your Power bands old? Maybe they just need replaced. Are they dry rotted?

    Honestly I always try to run two powerbands...seems to help tote my big butt around.

    Then when you stop you can pull one off and flick it at someone.

    ^ It's always you Goat!

    You always go back on things you said before, I quote Goat: "If you put a 4 stroke powerband in place of a 2 stroke, you get smooth clean power and not that arm jerking 2 stroke power"

    Thats what I did with my 250R and I'm so glad I did. It's been easier to ride and doesn't foul plugs ever anymore

    I'm sorry steve, I just have the worst memory sometimes, and don't remember what I've said.

    You're right, a 4 stroke powerband in place of a 2stroke will help get a smoother power.

    I personally like the 6 stroke engine design which alternates a nitrometh and gasoline.

    i run a 4stroke powerband in place of a 2stroke & it works amazing...you should try it, also try a powerband adjuster so you can limit the powerband from mild to wild.
