Lacks power at end of gear, its like a old 4 stroke, no power band and just goes at a steady speed.

    Hows the plug look. Did you do a compression test, and how long has it been since you have cleaned your power valves?

At the "end of gear" sounds like at red line on RPM. All engines jsut stop making power there. Look at your engines torque curve and you will see it flattens significantly at peak rpms. Shift sooner

Hello,got a px125 with DR180top end 24mm card {standard P2 jetting).Its very good top end, but poor in 1st & 2nd gears.Could anyone suggest what carb jetting would improve this?Cheers

Tuning or modifying a 2-stroke engine needs a wealth of experience for best results and is almost a type of witchcraft.

Small things can make a difference to the power output and to where in the rev range the power happens, the more an engine is modified the narrower the band where the power is to be found. The exhaust has a huge influence and a half-inch either way in the dimensions of an exhaust silencer/expansion box can move the power band 500 rpm, for instance.

Some of the 2-strokes from my history hardly developed enough power to keep themselves running until until several thousand rpm is achieved and then the power makes a sudden hit.

Carburettor tuning is similarly complex with some carbs requiring much more than alternative jetting for success, with things like throttle slide cut-outs and needle profiles to consider.

Fitting a larger carb means the induction pulse at low rpm might not be sufficient to produce fine fuel droplets for efficient burning. The induction shock waves could be forcing fuel back out of the carb at certain speeds, fuel that can be lost to atmosphere unless contained by a ram pipe.

Without the understanding and experience to discover, analyse and overcome these difficulties, engines perhaps do not achieve capability and often use far more fuel than they should, as the layman's answer to these things is usually over-jetting.

I suggest you seek out a serious specialist for more specific advice and information.

Only have 2nd gear

Check the linkage firs if it is in the right place then you will need to rebuild the trans or get a new one as the bands are gone in it. Try to change the fluids and filter first. But from the sounds of it i would say the bands are gone and it needs a new trans.

125 2 stroke bogging down between idle and 1/4 throttle

A 2-stroke engine with an expansion box tends to have a narrow power-band, a much narrower band than with a stock exhaust and outside of that narrow band often an engine hardly develops enough power to keep itself running. Earlier 2-strokes are particularly "peaky" with a tuned exhaust and must be ridden accordingly.

The design and dimensions of a tuned exhaust can be tweaked to produce different power-bands at different speeds but it is all almost in the realms of the black arts. A half-inch here or there can move the band by 500 rpm.

Rejetting might improve matters or might not but riding above 2000rpm shouldn't take much effort and in the world of 2-strokes is fairly normal.

I suggest you do some reading on the subject and the Haynes manual is a good place to begin. The link below leads to the second edition which I haven't read but I think the first edition would probably be better if you can find one.

My bike has been to the shop twice 4 the same problem and its still there i have no power at low revs even in first gear to the point it stalls . but at high revs the bike goes hard can u help?

apart from the obvious check air filter is clean spark plug is good and your pilot jet in carb is all clear form dirt or gummed fuel my next step would be put a tooth or two bigger rear sprocket on it to lower the gear ratio this will give more torque low speed maybe whilst you looking at the sprocket just check that some has not change the front to smaller sprocket it being few years old some one may have set to get more top end speed and sacrificed all the low end??

I have a 2 stroke power band 1984 suzuki 6 speed dirt bike. My shift lever goes all the way to the floor and all the way up with out shifting any gears. what can be the problem?

Either the shaft coming out of the transmission housing to the shift lever is stripped out, the cinch bolt on the shift lever is very loose, or the transmission is shot. Examine closely and take to the shop if needed.
