williamjernigan Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 I am thinking of having my flywheel lightened but I was wandering if their are any downsides like premeture wear or if it may cause some problems down the road. I dont want to sacrifice reliability. Quote
FIRST BANSHEE Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 No problems with relibilty, it will stall easier. only problem I know of. Quote
nater006 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Posted November 5, 2004 No problems with relibilty, it will stall easier. only problem I know of. Theoretically, especially on a single cylinder engine that relies on the momentum to keep it from stalling, yeah, that might be right -- but on the shee engine, its a power stroke every 180 degrees, thus eliminating the need for a heavy flywheel to carry the engine back to TDC. So, really, it shouldn't be much.. if at all.. easier to stall. Quote
fixitrod Posted November 6, 2004 Report Posted November 6, 2004 You might hear they fall off faster and that is true. I like it though. I can hammer on the gas into a corner and know my brakes will react better because the motor slows down faster. I've never noticed it stalls easier. I can pop a wheelie in first up to the balance point and walk it slow. If it stalled easier, that would be tough. It's more responsive so I can just touch the gas and it brings the front end back up when I need it to. Quote
