Lighten flywheel

[bansha60]

Who is the hq memeber that lightens flywheels for other hq members? I heard some good things about his work. Any input would be appreciated

boonman. he does it here.

 

i can also lighten it for you.

[BdBanshee]

I do them also.

i didnt know u did them bdbanshee, though u only did one for yourself, looks good, but yea him and boonman do it, choose between the 2, comp keeps the buisness world alive

BdBanshee's is probably lighter. I run one he did for me a couple years ago, I love it!

[boonman]

BD's slotted one is definitely lighter. However, I do believe that without the slots, they are the same. And the answer to the question, BDbanshee and myself can lighten flywheels. PROPERLY being the key word here.

Hook me up with some prices. I'll let you guys know. That fly-wheel looks real nice!

hey bd hit me with a PM on the price of that slotted jobby, it look pretty slick.

I would recommend BDBanshee or Boonman. Both do excellent work.

for a fact, i know that having your flywheel lightened makes your banshee rev faster and gives u quicker throttle response, but doesnt it also take away from your low rpm torque?

Yes. The purpose of the flywheel is to provide momentum. When you take away mass, it has less momentum, which translates into torque.

ok, just makin sure.

Now wait a minute. The only time you'll loose anything is when you let go of the gas. Think about it.

 

If a flywheel is heavy it's going to slow down the motor when you hit the gas. If it's lighter it'll respond faster to the throttle being hit.

 

Now, if a flywheel is heavy it will "push" you a little more when you let go of the gas. If it's lighter, it will rev down faster.... This is the only loss.

 

Most people will add weight to gain tractability (Slow the motor down when you first hit the throttle so the tires don't break free).

 

The motor produces the torque... not the flywheel. If anything, you'll add torque when on the gas and loose some when you let off the gas. Who needs torque when you let go of the gas.

 

Now, on the banshee, it takes time for the motor to pickup then it's off. We banshee owners want it to kick in sooner most of the time. This is a way to do it.

 

A lot of 4 stroke owners like to add weight so it slows the motor down when they first hit the gas. After that, the flywheels mostly out of the picture anyway.

 

This is how I see it anyway
