Pros and cons on lighten flywheel


Recommended Posts

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.

My theory is.. For drag racing.. You will have less RPM drop at point of shifts with a stock flywheel..   I have ran both myself also but I prefer stock

so since most drag bikes have overrides whats your point? I dont think it makes enough differance to matter. builders want that extra money. half the people that own cut flywheels most likely cant even tune correctly

I guess I should say intially after the shift..  not as likely to fall off.. be more forgiving on mis/short shifts.   In drag racing, the engine is operating in a very narrow RPM range..  I feel the heavier flywheel helps keep the engine operating in that range, where lighter flywheels will allow the engine to fall off more easily on the shift when load is applied.
