1991-1992 kawasaki kx125 powerband??

Question

can someone tell me how i go about adjustin my powerband for it to kick in quicker many thanks

Answer 1

you cant adjust the powerband but you can adjust the powervalve and put more of the power down the bottom but you will loose a lot of top end power and vise versa. If your not happy wih the powerband try a new pipe, reeds and tune it properly and it will be a completely different bike

Answer 2

You can't really adjust it. It is the characteristic of the motor.

You could replace the reeds for maybe a slightly wider or stronger band... There is no actual adjustment (like turning a s***w).

Answer 3

The powerband is not something you can see and touch, it is merely a way of expressing on a dyno chart where a bike produces the greatest amount of horsepower.

Answer 4

Well, yeah theres no adjusting bolt or anything.  Theres a whole bunch of aftermarket products that will help your powerband kick in harder.  Two strokes (especially the 125s) dont have much low end power.  If you want it to kick in sooner, pop the clutch while you're at full throttle and it should kick in.  You can do this in the 1-4 gears.

By popping the clutch i mean, full throttle, pull in the clutch for 1/4 of a second and then let it out again.
