I think its like the POWER BAND. Its like a big lacky band you install on the crank shaft and it gives you lots of power. I seen a dealer selling them but there were no instructions. Some 2 strokes come with them factory installed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

It may be an octane booster but ive never seen it. Try mixing in some av gas, it will do the same and its less expensive.

The roost boost changes the spark timing for more power, and it DOES NOT raise Octane, nothing electronic can do that.

they are a joke, they work for a few hours then it burns out and does nothing but look like you have something extra on your bike i know i bought one three years ago. cant get over the fact that i payed money for it so i leave it on there.

whoa there! be careful what you put av gas into. if the engine isnt built up a little, it could blow everything all to hell.

Obviously do a some research b4 putting av gas into your engine. Ive run it (mixed) in many a 2 stroke and it dose the trick. Running it in a 4 stroke may need some tweeking to the timing but it ran a treat in the ole gemini we used to thrash around in after some timing modifications.

ct330 is dead on. I bought one for a mojave years ago. Waste of money. I ordered the Dyna FS programable ignition yesterday. I will be posting my opinions on it in the next couple of days in the Yamaha forum. If you get a chance, you might check it out.
