what is the difference between a stage 1 and a stage 2?

[crfsonly]

stage 1 is for more low-end to mid-range power.

stage 2 is for more mid-range to top end power.

the next question you'll have will be more difficult to answer...which one is better for you?

thanks for the quick answer(i felt stupid not being able to figure that out) and by the way you r wrong.
















I ride local and woods so i wil get the S1 LOL.

[crfsonly]

you're right...if you are woods the stage 1 is the easy and correct answer to the second question. we offer both in our catalog if you're looking for what many call, "the best bang for the buck mod period."

If you check the final outlay, you are arguing over $5.00! The Bike Bandit costs $189 and change shipped and including CA sales tax. Ken has it for $180 and change plus tax.. shipping is free. Tax on 180 is about $13.50. So you are seeing $189.00 vs. $193! Support the place that supports you! It's not that much different.

did the stage 2 come out recently for the 250's? cause when I got mine a few months ago there was no stage 2 that i could find for 250's, only 450's.

[Monkeywrench]

I believe it did. Same here -- only a stage 1 was available when I grabbed mine.

How much different is the power between a S1 and S2?

Im buying a 250x soon with a S1 fitted and wondering if its worth me selling it and getting a S2 as i will be doing alot of open trails and road riding?

Maybe think of it like this: you'd never whine a Harley out in 1st gear all the way into a rediculous rpm range, because you know there's just as much (if not more) power waiting for you the moment you shift to the next gear and re-twist the throttle.
And just the opposite, you'd never hop on a Katina or CBR1000 (on-road race bikes) expecting to be blown away by their low-end rpm pull. It's just not there, so you have to dig into the rpm's more until you get your grin.

Those being extreme examples, I think the stage 1 and 2 follow similarly, based on how you want to ride your bike. If you go stage 2, I think you'll be fine as long as you remember you have to keep your bike in the powerband (which would be higher rpm's than stage 1) or it might feel like you're lugging. Stage 2 probably tries to mimic 2-stroke riding more closely than the stage 1 does.

Ok thanks for the advice! I will ride the bike for a while then make a decision.
