Nightmare Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 I heard somewhere that they can bog a motor down, don't know how true that is though. Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finch Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 not a good idea on big motors or with heavy riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SGH-T679 using Tapatalk 2 They say that since its less rotating weight it revs quicker, but it can't hold the rpms say out of the turn. So the motor can slow down easier because there's less rotating mass keeping it going. I didn't notice anything going from a stock to a cut.

trickedcarbine Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Nope. Find gains elsewhere. Only time I've seen it verified to work since I've been around banshees is if your rider is 100-125lbs and racing 300'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WINDYCITYJOHN400 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Eventually those lightened ones all explode and frag everything in your side cover. The stock ones stretch and grow as your riding. The lightened ones develop stress cracks where the material goes from stock thickness to the cut thinner areas and sooner or later fail. I could see using them in a form of riding where bike speed stays more steady, like circle track or MX (Where your not needing the extra mass to get you going) But in those same forms of racing....your accelerating the eventual failure of the flywheel with the sustained high RPM's. Just my 2 cents. You can disagree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camatv Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 same lightened flywheel on my 535 for the last 7 years.. i only like them because the bike revv's easier. it goes blip blip instead of bbbblllliiiipp bbblip but thats my .10 cents.

shanYE west Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've also used a lightend flywheel for many years. I did get rid of it for a stock flywheel.. wishing I had it back now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 I would say a lightened flywheel is less effective in moto X or flat track. The heavier mass of the stocker pulls better out of the turns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
