My Clean 1973 Yamaha, Enduroing Power Shifting

I continue the pampered history of this machine, by keeping her indoors(I think I was the first to take her on dirt at 3500 miles). The third through fifth shifts are accomplished without the use of the clutch, this allows one hand free to operate the camera. George Wagner withstands the loss of a hand himself, in the graphic novel Seven Skins (now accelerating on SCRIBEWORX.NET).

hey i have a 1974 yamaha enduro Dt360 and i wondered if they have power bands in them and why does my magneto get so frikkin hot

[vintagemachines]

No bands. I'd try a new magneto.

[98sk8terforlife]

@vintagemachines ok does it do anything to have or not have bands..... and how do u replace the magneto

[vintagemachines]

No. Follow a manual if you dare or have someone experienced do it.

@98sk8terforlife You do understand that a powerband is not a device at all? It's the rpm range where the engine makes the most power.

@98sk8terforlife buddy, no offense, but if you dont know what a powerband is, dont bring a wrench near your bike. a powerband is the rpm range where the engine makes the most power. EVERY engine has a powerband, from weed eaters to top fuel dragsters.

My favorite as well - happy trails when you find one...
