Do not just try and do it yourself. Quote
jbooker82 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 You also want to make sure the guys you have do it have a crank end or arbor that they install the flywheel on, instead of clamping the fly wheel directly in the jaws of the lathe. Quote
brugal Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Yea, they have been known to crack at the shaved area. Quote
brugal Posted September 9, 2010 Report Posted September 9, 2010 Or you could send Bdbanshee a PM or an email with your questions. Him and boonman lightened alot of flywheels on here back in the day. You can also do a search in different forums here in the B.H.Q., you might find a piss match about weather to lighten the flywheel or not ,and the proper procedure to do it, ect ect... Quote

If you weigh more than 200 pound your not going to like it unless your drag racing. Quote
stroking Posted September 10, 2010 Author Report Posted September 10, 2010 What kind of track? If you weigh more than 200 pound your not going to like it unless your drag racing. pavement only 1/8mile im 180pounds but i have a light weight rider for money races...he's around 140 Quote
TIM LUTZ Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 Ahhh. So you have a jockey. Lighten er up Quote
shanYE west Posted September 10, 2010 Report Posted September 10, 2010 I dont like lightned flywheels for drag racing, Reguardless of rider weight. Quote
stroking Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Posted September 19, 2010 got it cut....i still have not weight it yet or tried it on the bike. by the feel of the two it feels lighter Quote
stroking Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Posted September 19, 2010 I dont like lightned flywheels for drag racing, Reguardless of rider weight. why ? Quote
jbooker82 Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 why ? It makes it bog easier off the line, and when riding it falls off the pipe easier. Lightining up the fly wheel just makes for a fast sounding engine while reving it with the clutch pulled in or in Neutral. Quote
Larry's Shee Posted September 19, 2010 Report Posted September 19, 2010 Seems to me if you were really concerned about rotational mass you would just pop for a PVL ign. Quote
boonman Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 I like a lightened flywheel. With a power stroke every 180 degrees, mass isn't needed as much... Quote
Snopczynski Posted September 21, 2010 Report Posted September 21, 2010 I dont like lightned flywheels for drag racing, Reguardless of rider weight. PVL=Drag Racing....Just sayin. Quote
