Hey red
the only thing the offset key does is advance your timing......thats it
as far as power?.........OH YEA..........throughout the entire power band
and yes four stroke engines [like all internally combustion engines]
have a power band..........you dont have the same HP @ 1500 rpm as you do @ 5000 rpm do ya?

So how bout it?????
Has anyone done this on a rubicon????????

 

So I buy this offset flywheel key somewhere or what? Will my dealer install it? Does it give more mid-range or top-end, bottem end, what?

 

powerband

 

Gimp
very informative page
Red
Not sure if a dealer would install this or not
D&D powersports should have one on hand 315-376-8013
and yes it will give you more power
below the power band....in the power band....and above the power band

A Powerband is the range in which an engine makes power, both 2 and 4 stroke have powerbands.

 

Thank You shotgun

 

The website only had them for 400EXs, Banshees and something else.

 

You could probably go to yer local dealer and see if the one for the 400 ex is the same as the rubicon
Most likely will be......... but you need to check it out to be sure

 

Somebody was quick to delete 'powerband' from their post..... LOL

So what !? , a 2 stroke does not have as much power @ 1500 as it does @ 5000 eather
I do not understand your point here

A four stroke has a power curve, a 2 stroke has a power band....
Oh yea, ok, a fuel injected superbike has a power band, a sudden spike in its curve where HP/TORQUE darts high, suddenly as per rpm gain (POWERBAND)

But not a Rubicon as origionaly posted above that has been deleted.... LOL

IT HAS A POWER CURVE ..... in which it will perform within 1000 RPM to 5000 RPM sure, but sorry, no power band....

Back to the question at hand------

If you can advance your timing by flywheel key in a fesable amount it will increase your buttom to mid range TORQUE when viewed on a graph. I have done a search from our sources within the dealership i work, the last couple of days and cannot find an advance key that size.

It will not give you the '4BBL affect' as you origionaly refered to as a powerband then deleted from your post.
