Should i change the engine

[Mucker-1]

Hi,I have a tri z 250 85 year and i was just thinking if any other engine would fit in the bike,Or if the power band can be taken off the 250 engine that is in it now,Thank you

[SYKO]

oh gawd...... things are fixin to get ugly....

[atctim]

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?

[The Goat]

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.

[Dirtcrasher]

^ 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 :beer

[The Goat]

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.

[Mucker-1]

Hi Guys,Thank you for the replys,I think i may need your help a little more...so tell me more about the 4 stroke power bands...what bike are they off where can i get my hands on one...it sounds just what im looking for ..when this bike takes off on me it nearly pulls my arms out of my sockets....would it be ok if i could email you to fnd out more please?

[The Goat]

sure, steve won't mind a few emails, he's a people person.





EDIT:

I AM NOT STEVE!

STEVE IS DIRTCRASHER!

talk about your all time backfires....

Why did this have to happen in the morning!

becouse it has all day to ferment!:w00t:

[tri-z987]

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.

[Mucker-1]

So can you help me with changing from a 2stroke power to the 4stroke power band ?
Thank you

[Mucker-1]

What bike did you get the 4stroke power band off ?

[The Goat]

a common donor is the raptor 660...but don't tell anyone I told you that

[Mosh]

There are a few people in this thread just messing with you Mucker.

The deal is, You bought a large CC 2 stroke.

If you dont like the power delivery, you may want to look for a 4 stroke powered machine like a 200x or 350x.

You other option is to get used to the Tri-Z power delivery, and it will grow on you.

There isn't really anything you can do to tame down the power of the Z 250 engine,short of adding a throttle stop.
You are going to have to learn to like it, or sell it for a model that more would fit your riding style.
There are no 4 stroke engines that will directly bolt into a Z chassis.
There is no way to "remove the powerband" from the Z engine.

[Mucker-1]

Are there anyother bikes that i could get one off?

[rdlsz24]

You could sell your Tri-Z and buy a 4-stroke trike. A 200x or 350x might be right up your alley.

[Mucker-1]

Thanks Mosh for the help i'll take it on bored.......and as for GOAT..thought you were trying to help..NOT take the piss!!!

[The Goat]

lol...there is NO tangible object that is a POWERBAND...

I and the other 10 persons were just having a laugh.

Now that it's done, put some pics of the bike, we always like to see em.

Got any other questions that don't concern Powerbands...and someone will help you!

[Mucker-1]

Ok Point taken....you got me LOL :-)

[ceaserthethird]

You can alter the Gearing, to change where your power comes in ...

Stock tri-z's have good low end power, So you might want to try changing your front Sprocket one tooth bigger.

Should help ...

NOTE - Please direct any and all future discussions regarding the size, condition, or color of powerbands only to this thread:

Since you have a tri-z you can run a honda powerband because Yamaha made a few red tri-z's that means you can interchange with other makes of the same or near color... You wouldn't want to get a kawasaki powerband in that yammi though, color of the powerband is all different and cause the reactor cell to discombobulate and that would be like Chernobyl... AND NOBODY WANTS THAT!!!

[oscarmayer]

:lol: OMG BWAAAAhahaahahahahahaa

[Dammit!]

Just to be clear for the new guy, the term powerband is used to describe the RPM range where your engine makes the most power. Like Goat said, it's not an actual part. 2-strokes typically have a very narrow "powerband" which is to say they make peak power in a smaller rpm range than a 4-stroke.

These guys are just having fun with it because it's a common mistake so don't take it personally. ;)

[lndy650]

thread of the day!

[shortbus]

Lol easy on the new guy!

[daniel_250r]

i'm loosing the will to live with threads like these but yea you are better off selling and buying a more tame four stroke maybe a 225dx will due

[shortbus]

Maybe a atc 70?

[lndy650]

how about a tricycle?

[daniel_250r]

ok lets not turn this into another lord letto bash fest, hell 2 years ago i would have thought the term power band refered to a component as well,

[seadoo650]

Yea guys. Enough of the joking. If you don't have a valid technical point, keep it outta here.

Sorry Mucker. I'm suprized some guys are even old enough to type on here.

[hondawasaki]

Mucker, feel free to e-mail me any Q's you may have, that way you can avoid ridicule. I was taught that there is no such thing as a dumb question. Its sad the peanut gallery is to cool to realize that once they needed help too.

Why do you guys want to drive off every new member that joins this board? I'm sure all your mothers are proud!

Lol i hope your joking? Lol check out their "car to plane kit" or "car to tank kit" That whole site is a JOKE!

[RudeDog666]

I bought the round tuit, muffler bearing, radiator insulator, wiper blade sharpener, and I got the wife a 710 cap.

These are things you just can't go to Wal-mart and buy, and I've never seen them on eBay either. I mean you hear people talking about them but nobody I know have any, I'll be the first one on the block! ! !

:lol:

[code200k]

ok lets not turn this into another lord letto bash fest,

did he ever get a trike?

[Thorpe]

I dunno... But I just got done reading all 17 pages on James... Ooh, my stomach hurts from laughing...
