    I have always heard that three smaller powerbands all 90 degrees out of phase with each other results in better power distribution over the entire range, where a single large powerband is more abruot, I also heard that the single large powerbands work best with a boost bottle made out of a scuba dive tank, the down side is you have to wear the boost bottle on your back in a scuba rig while you ride

    Here is a picture of me with the scuba tank boost bottle. As you can see, it also works under water.

    It worked so well I put one on my wife's bike

    Her bike is so fast now she cant keep the front wheel on the ground and the rear wheel is always spinning.

    my friend used to run an ac 250 in a single shock thumper frame that was air cooled. if i recall i dont think he had to mod anything hardly. sometimes we ran what we had in best condition at the time just so we could ride.

    I put a 7hp tech. 4 stroke engine in a kx80 frame for me son. With a jack shaft he had the best suspension mini bike ever. Good till he wanted a two stroke bike.

    Someone enlighten me what are "boost bottles" do they give more top end power? Or more everywhere sounds like a fantastic mod.
