LiftdT4R Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Damn dude, that's crazy. Who cut that down? They definately took too much off the outside, looks thin as hell. I know you said you didn't want to say, but it might really help out someone, if they had the same person do theirs. Good luck bro! Quote
Bansh-eman Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 theres guys with more taken off then what his was... it was just a matter of time that it let go... he had it for a while... just one of those things i guess... i just hope his crank didnt get thrown off...not looking forward to opening up the motor if it did...

owmyeye Posted November 28, 2006 Report Posted November 28, 2006 Dude, that sux. At least you were with people who were able to bring you back. That would've been one hell of push back to camp Quote
Bansh-eman Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 theres no way he would have made it back pushing it... the dunes out there are fukin big! he would have died before he got back pushingit... Quote
Polish Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Posted November 29, 2006 theres no way he would have made it back pushing it... the dunes out there are fukin big! he would have died before he got back pushingit... im still feeling the pain from walking to the top of the dune.......so I could be seen Quote
Sprntr81 Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 thats way to much material removed from that thing...i would be asking for a new flywheel whoever done the job. Quote
Bansh-eman Posted November 29, 2006 Report Posted November 29, 2006 thats way to much material removed from that thing...i would be asking for a new flywheel whoever done the job. you cant blame it on them... you have differant options of how much to take off.. you know going in that the more you take off the weaker its prone to being...just luck of the draw Quote

brock_fuzzy_69 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 i just dont see where any reputable shop would cut that much off surely they know the risks Quote
Bansh-eman Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 yea they know the risks but whne you request a job to be done they are going to do it... he didnt have the most taken off that is offered theres even one more after what he had... Quote
brock_fuzzy_69 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 regardless of how much a customer wants taken off i still feel that a reputable shop will turn away any request to lighten a flywheel beyond what is considered safe i would rather have a shop tell me that no they wont cut one down that far than to have a shop that will do it for me knowing the risks Quote
BigRed350x Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 (edited) That sucks man. Hope you can get it back together and back out tearing up the dunes! I will look through my boxes of banshee crap and see if I can find you a flywheel. Edited November 30, 2006 by BigRed350x Quote

Sprntr81 Posted November 30, 2006 Report Posted November 30, 2006 i think the guy is fortunate the flywheel did not come out and cause HIM damage,i think the statement of "luck of the draw" and"its just a matter of time" is very poor.Not trying to be an ass here,but any shop that does any kind of work such as that have a "liability".Even if the customer says to take so much off its paper thin,the shop should have had nough sense to say"sorry we cant,,thats gonna make the material way to thin"the guy can come back and sue you even if the guy signed off on it.After a shop lightens a flywheel,it still should never come apart,anyone can machine a flywheel down to nothing and take a pound off it but is it safe?
