I need to figure out what I am doing next year and want to go real fast. What color power band will give me the best results?
regardless of what color powerband you use or where you set the red limited, if you're muffler bearings are shot, you gain nothing. also mark sure you have fresh blinker fluid as well.
It doesn't matter Just get a powerband with the proper shape. If it is not the right shape, you won't be able to corner real low.
I have a box of HRC powerbands for the pre big bang YZR500 motor in the basement I might sell. I'll see which ones I have (I think there's a low end and a few top end screamer bands). I think I have a methanol monster replica one also but that one I keep in a cage since it doesn't play nice with others. It's illegal in 48 states to possess or sell that one.
An upgrade to your powerband won't do a thing unless you get Italian Cams. If your bike is carburated you should look into a power commander for the ultimate in performance upgrades.
The magenta is easily the best. It is the most reliable by far. I know people will try to tell you that the pink has the better top end and salmon has good mid-range boost (like 30%) but they are both known for premature failure, and the last thing you want is a busted powerband. Magenta all the way.
