Wat you r referring to is called a power valve not cause I'm a kno it all reader like you but cause I have owns/ worked on slot and only 2 strokes have them
All engines do not have a 'powerband. An engine tuned to give a completely linear power delivery has no 'powerband', just a smooth progressive increase in power as revs rise.
@DepakoteMeister and anyway in this video the bike does have a power band, i missed the part of your comment on linear engine tuning and this is correct, i wasnt taking that into account.
this bike makes the most horsepower low to mid range rpm so no he is not shifting too soon and he isnt even giving it 3/4 throttle and he probbably cares about his bike.
@br8kurface its a fucking four stroke there is no power band,thats why i would kick your ass,dont comment on shit you know nothing about, like whats the point.
@pattyd2112 You're obviously retarded and don't even know what a power band is faggot, all engine's have a powerband even small 4 stroke generator engine's, just because it's not as snappy as a 2 stroke powerband don't assume it is'nt there, "don't comment on shit you know nothing about, like whats the point"....
@robertgisthebest I dont know if you're just trolling or what but 4 strokes don't have a powerband and if you genuinely think they do, you obviously know nothing about engines. And he is short shifting.
@wortek7 Go and educate yourself mate, all a powerband is is the point where the engine creates most power, go read up n it, every engine has a power band.
@wortek7 yes they do all engines do you are reffering to what is called a powervalve or exhaust actuator valve this is what is on 80 percent of 2 stroke motorcycles so clearly your the dumbshit thats knows nothing
all you need is a quiet muffler {standard is fine if you leave the baffle in} blinkers, headlight, tail light and horn plus no oil leaks or anything like that for when you get it registered.
i checked, it dint say, but i found out its a 95, i could tell because the 96 has a different stock exhaust, a different seat, and different side panels, but thanks anyways!
just got an 87 like this that sat for a long time and never got started had it running in less than 2 hours and it accelerates faster than the one in this video mine is stock
your like me ! change gear really fast, i have a 1990 xr 250 just got it today for my birthday, im only 14 aswell.... i love it exept it doesnt run after 6 hours of thrashing.... the electrics again
I dunno, I've got an '81 XR250, the same engine as yours but with only one carb (and 22 years older) , and I rev it a little higher before shifting. Maybe it's 'cause I've got modified exhaust pipes. Still, good to see another XRer can ride.
Supertrapps are great, too, because you can tune them for whatever you're using the bike for at the time. If you want all-out proformance, just take all the muffler plates off.
Proper bikers start off like this-He's on his way to being a proper biker-at least he is riding it.Trogs/pretendies/negatives should Stay in their cars with their negative attitudes.Good for ya XR rider-you're ok,and not poxy.
Hey I'm only 13 and getting ready to trade my 1998 warrior 350 for a 1986 xr250r... Is it a good idea?
