70duster Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Is there anyone that specializes in flywheel lightening? Or can I have a local machine shop do it? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Allegedly you need to do it and then get it balanced. I bought a flywheel from someone here, was lightened. I started to look into it and found out this info. But, I couldn't tell the difference in it. I think it was TDR that did it a while back and possibly Duncan. I'd go to someone that has first hand experience in flywheel lightening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 How much do you weigh and what are you doing with the motor? If you're over 150 Lbs, don't bother. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett131 Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Probably not ideal for trail riding... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

70duster Posted August 31, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Really? I thought it would allow the motor to hit powerband faster since its lighter. I know on some motors they add weights to them to keep the momentum going. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Horrible idea for any trail machine. The weight helps maintain inertia when navigating trails and turns. If it's not strictly drag on a lighter set up its wasted effort in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70duster Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 OK guess I'll save a few bucks Sent from my SM-T350 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbooker82 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 It also allows it to bog faster / easier since its lighter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
