Pros and cons on lighten flywheel


Recommended Posts

Motor will rev quicker, you will sound fast and have to worry about it flying apart. Some

big guys claim it causes them to "bog" down, I would blame that on there set up but who knows. You will not see a difference in your time, IMO you should just stay with the stock flywheel, Everything will feel alot smoother.

In theory a lightened flywheel will rev out quicker, with less torque... A stock flywheel takes a little longer to rev out, but is torquier.. You want stock for trail riding.. I know a few guys that do Trials riding and actually put weights on their flywheels, to give the motors more rotating mass.. It helps with those quick standing uphill launches..

I ran one for a day back to back with a stocker. It was noticibly snappier in the lower gears. What goes up fast does come down fast so it takes a bit to get used to how it rides. Try it and see if you like it.

 

 

And stop with the less torque thing motherfuckers. Everytime there's a flywheel thread someone spouts off with oh you will see less tq. You have less stored energy not less torque.
