Well, I just got my topend done. Now my powerband is 1/4 throttle, should it be where it is? Or where should it be.
Thanks.

powerband has nothing to do with throttle position. it has to do with revs. 80's do not have an adjustable powervalve becuase they do not have a powervalve. the powervalve is a mechanism inside 2 strokes to give them powerbands. the powerband is merely a part in the power range where your power peaks. if you were to draw your power range on a chart this is what it would look like. ____/\____ right in the middle there is the powerband.

80's dont have powervalves? but 1/4 throttle sounds good and fun, 80's seem like the powerbands are way more powerful than say a 125 which makes them awesome!
