Schizo Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Can anybody tell me why lightening the flywheel is not recommended for the "larger" riders? Quote
MotulMonsta Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Well, the "Larger" riders have more ass to push around and strains the machine a bit more. Since the "larger" rider puts more strain on the machine, he/she might not benifit from a lightend flywheel..if anything the "larger" rider should get a weighted flywheel for more inertia and to help keep his larger ass going and not bogging down in the corners.

MotulMonsta Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 By larger rider we're talking about 240+ range I imagine right? Quote

boonman Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 There is no reason to not lighten the flywheel no matter your weight..... I'm tppin' the scales at 230, I have lightend my flywheel ,along with several others.... Not one complaint, and I love mine. WOuldn't be without it....... Quote
ngelati Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Hey boonman, how much (mm) can you take off the flywheel? Quote
sredish Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 Hey boonman, how much (mm) can you take off the flywheel? There's a pretty long thread on that here in the Tips & Tricks forum. Quote
boonman Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 (edited) Hey boonman, how much (mm) can you take off the flywheel? About 5mm........And yours will be going back today Sredish!! Edited May 10, 2004 by boonman Quote
sredish Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 HOT DAMN!!! My shit's already for it. Got the new stator on with out a hitch, well a little grinding as usual, but like a glove. I'm set up for the dunes this next weekend. Damn, I feel like I've got a birthday coming. Later. Scott Quote
nickxc Posted May 10, 2004 Report Posted May 10, 2004 I weigh 245 and I never lightened my flywheel on my other shee because I was told it was not recommended for larger riders. I got talked into doing it with my new banshee and it was the best $35 I have spent yet. It really woke the motor up. It revs instantly, I really like it and would recommend it. Quote
