animal1000rr Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 I have a noise that I think I have narrowed down to the flywheel. when I remove it and shake it I can hear something moving. Does this mean that it will fail soon or is it just something to deal with? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne_smith97 Posted December 9, 2014 Report Share Posted December 9, 2014 Chances are it's gonna crap out on you. How bad is it rattling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurdy Posted December 10, 2014 Report Share Posted December 10, 2014 Sounds like the magnets inside are broken. It will only get worse and will affect the flywheel's ability to create a magnetic field. The magnetic field rotating around the poles of the stator are what create the voltage for your lights and the initial trigger signal for the CDI. It will also become out of balance and can be hard on your crank bearings. I wouldn't run it. I would replace it with an OEM flywheel.

animal1000rr Posted December 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 It's loud. At first I thought that it was the exhaust resonating but I have damped them and the noise was still there. After getting in very close the noise is coming from the stator cover.

wayne_smith97 Posted December 15, 2014 Report Share Posted December 15, 2014 Take the stator cover off and look around. If you don't see anything out the ordinary, then remove the flywheel and shake it. If it is rattling then you know that's the problem.
