Run that SOB lol

Ive never had a lightened flywheel, some people like them others don't. I do know that they have to be done right or they can fall apart easily. Your flywheel should be fine, mine was pretty beat up and never had any issues as I said earlier. Post some pics of it.

My question for you has nothing to do with the cylinders. What in the hell are you doing with aluminum drag racing rods? Do you have a blown alky v-8 or something? Just noticed them and got curious. You wanting to sale one? I would love to have one of those just for my shop display.

Key words here: AT ALL lol. Making fun of myself, so no pun intended.

Exactly that is a great point. This is not Formula 1 racing at all. I don't think this will be a dagger to the bikes heart at all, no change at all really.

No it takes way more than that to bend a stock flywheel. When I took my shitty flywheel off the very first time, it was seized onto the crank because who ever put it on did not put grease on the crank. When we finally got the flywheel to come loose it came off so fast that if it had hit one of us it would have broke are legs. We were actually pushing against the crank so hard with the bearing puller it mushroomed out the end of the crank a lil bit. So what the point is, if a stock flywheel can take that much force without bending(and mine did not) then he will be just fine. Lightened flywheels are known to do that because again your removing metal not moving it. If you take metal off the wrong parts of the flywheel it weakens them and causes them to break apart like you said. This how ever is not the situation at all. For it to cause premature breakage it first has to be unbalanced. Ive never seen a machinist move metal to balance a crank, they remove metal to do that. You can move metal on a crank, but as long as the metal is moved the same on each side the weight will remain the same also to counter act each other. A flywheel does not have to be a certain design to be balanced, it has to be equal weight all the way around. In this case the metal around the flywheel has changed shape slightly, but the weight around it has remained the same.

Although I do somewhat agree with what your saying, but text book and real world is 2 different things. He will not even notice anything at all. The metal that he did move was equally moved on each side of the flywheel, so basically they cancel each other out. If he did it to just one side then I could see him feeling a lil vibration. It does nothing, I ran my bike the same way for the last 3 years.

Just run the flywheel and Report back here on HQ and tell us what you thought, I promise it will not change anything. I stand by this message

You wont have any issues IMO. I put my beat up flywheel with teeth marks on a brand new 4-mill crank and it ran with zero issues. It was just as smooth running as ever. My 10 mill supercub is the vibration king lol, but yet its got a perfectly flawless flywheel.

I have had to do the same thing because the threads on my 1987 flywheel are toast. As long as you did not bend the flywheel your fine, those little teeth marks from the puller don't do shit. My bike ran just as smooth as ever with the dents that I had to put into mine. How does that throw off the balance? Im being serious here not a smart ass question. As long as he did not remove any material (weight) than the indents in the metal should not do anything to affect the actual balance of the flywheel. I have done this with no noticeable difference of how the bike ran or how smooth it ran.

thanks

I really think any degreaser would work, you just have to let it sit for 24 hours to really let it do its job.

I use this degreaser called LA's totally Awesome, it takes carbon right off of pistons, but you have to soak them. I just dump the bottle in there in concentrated form, plug both ends and let it sit. It eats the shit out of the oil deposits and such. I try to fill the pipes half full, lay it on one side for a day then on the other. You will be amazed of the shit that comes out when you dump it.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to contact Boss Racing. Ive called the shop quite a few times now and e-mailed them once and still no return. The number just goes straight to a voice box that is full, any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Oh man the sniper got me there, guess I should have watched my back. RDZ is the real deal, but those snipers uhhh well it is what it is.

X3^

Wow I just seen that last statement damn that was funny.

Banshee332 are you saying I have a big tool?? I just like pitching shit..Its all good. It came to mind and I couldn't resist.

That is true, he has been fast in the past. What about snipers records, oh yeah you can't take that from them either cause they don't have any lmao.

If its 25mm to deck from the exhaust port, that is a really really super high strung set up.

What the crack smoking hell are you doing now lol?

Uhhh I prefer the BJs especially the ones that come polished lol Know really the PWKs are bad ass.

Sounds like an air leak for sure. Are you slides sticking at all? Not common for a pwk but wouldn't rule it out until you check.

Uh gear reduction comes to mind with that cam you are looking at. You need like a 390 rear gear in that thing to help out with no low end torque. It would still be an alright daily driver, but your Rs are going to be up a lil on the freeway for sure.

Yeah I will take 40 for them.
