NEW POWERBAND?!?!?

[Built4Speeed]

hey guys i need you help!!! i have a 75cc 4stroke dirt bike i got from pep boys... its REALLY fast but i have a problem. I didnt  run it for just a little while and now it wont start.  My friend said thers probably carbon on the spark plug but i think hes full of shaZam!.  the mechanic says i need a new powerband!!! .... to make matters worse, sincei started it with a bad power band, apparently my muffler bearings went out.  WHAT DO I DO??? I can get it fixed but the mechanic who checked it said its gonna run me like 500 for a new power band and 50 for a muffler bearing!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

[dgyver]

Ok...calm down...the powerband is still useable. They can be turned inside out and reinstalled upside down. But becareful. If you put it on the bike wrong, it will run backwards. Also, the muffler bearings just need lubrication. Blinker fluid is ideal for this.

But don't let them skuh-rue ewe on the blinker fluid. It shouldn't cost a penny more than $500.00 (plus tax & shipping).

There ARE cheap blinker fluids out there.....

but....remember....you get what you pay for.....

While they're in there, have your mechanics also check the Ignition Molecules... mine needed to be replaced last time....don't get caught with bad Ignition Molecules.....voice of experience here...

Just be sure you use a LEFT handed screwdriver while removing the poweband.. otherwise you may damage the threads 

[Built4Speeed]

YESSSSSSi!!!! i think i found one.  Its lthe latest from Cyber Technologies i guess.  Its prolly gona cost me a pretty penny, but i should be able to get another 70 horsepower out of the bike....

That's for CARS, silly. Blinker fluid can be used interchangably, but EVERYONE knows that powerbands are manufacturer/car/scooter/skateboard specific....    It's ok....we still love you.....n00bcakes 

[yamahonkawazuki]

also you gotta remember to change the rubberfluid in the tires. you know what would happen if the rubber broke dont ya? and remember to grease the water pump on the ol gs, its just behind the third cylinder. oh yeah and remember to put honda stickers on the gs now. it raises the hp but also it kills the torque and lap tiomes as well. your choice there, 

[CirclesCenter]

Don't forget to change out the summer and winter air from your tires.

(I actually convinced someone of this and he does it every six months.....

[Built4Speeed]

ok so this is what was done by the mechanic.... new powerband (+70 hp), new muffler bearing lubed with blinker fluid, replacement paint sensors, greased the third cylinder, changed the winter air with summer air a guy just happened to have for 100 bucks,  and honda stickers are all over it (since it doesnt have a brand.  THANKS EVERYONE!!!!! well im off to go jump some 5 story buildings on my 75cc 4stroke  bike from pep boys!

p.s.- hey everyone thanks again, because of your advice i saved some serious money on blinker fluids, muffler bearings, etc etc.  GOOD THING I DIDNT GET RIPPED OFF!!!!
