LiftdT4R Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Why buy a whole new flywheel, just pull yours, send it out, and then put it back on when it comes back? The RS ones are a little pricey, and to be honest. I run one on my new bike, and I don't think the magnets are any stronger as they claim, and the wheel seems to be a tad heavier then stock. If your trying to avoid down time on the bike just buy a good used stock flywheel. As far as lightening, a number of shops do them. I got mine done by "boonman" a member on here. I'm not sure if he still does them or is even still around, but he did a damn good job on it. Quote

Snopczynski Posted September 3, 2008 Report Posted September 3, 2008 Have the stock one lightened at Dave Moore Racing in Oregon. Quote
spurdy Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 I would steer clear of the RS flywheels. I have heard that the pickups can be a few degrees off. That can play hell with bigger HP motors. I seen a lightened one on ebay a day or so ago for less then $50 I think. Good price cause most guys wont lighten them for less then that. I would lighten the one you have for you. PM me if your interested. SP Quote

LiftdT4R Posted September 4, 2008 Report Posted September 4, 2008 Yes it does!!! The lightened flywheel will rev quicker, but the revs will also drop quicker. I didnt like it for the woods, because as soon as I let off the throttle the revs would come way down. Not good in the tighter spots. If I ran dunes or drag though Id definately do one again. Quote
