Eliminate the competition with stupid-low prices, then when they're
gone you can charge what you want.

But seriously, more power for what bike? What's been done to it
already?

Nothing, it's a standard Yamaha XTZ125. I've had it for 6months and
it's my first bike.

That's essentially a dual-sport version of a TTR125L(E). Rip out your
airbox snorkle and rejet:

Red powerbands are really just ok and help down low but for all over you
need the purple one.

LOL.... I was thinking the same thing the other day. If I lose
weight I could be a lot faster!
What color power band swap equates to 20lbs weight loss?!

Well, it's true! You go to the local roadraces and guys are buying
carbon fiber this and titanium that and drilling holes in everything
in the quest for lightness, yet they're running around drinking beer
and eating cheeseburgers and carrying around an extra 20lbs. Doesn't
make sense. It truly is the cheapest way to gain power, even though it
might not be the easiest for some folks.

Of course, you can always go out and *buy* more power. It's easy, but
not cheap.

Dear Tami,

Yet another slam against Aaron Yates <grin>. By the way, I hold motorcycle
maintenance with such reverence and esteem, I'm considering "that" trip to
Denmark as a fair tradeoff to get my motorcycle serviced properly.

Ok lets refrain from talking bad about drinking beer.

May not be the easiest at first but sure is the cheapest: get on the
brakes later and on the power earlier.
