Flywheel

[Snopczynski]

I heard a noise under my flywheel cover yesterday. Pulled it off and the rivets that mount the flywheel bell to the end cap are loose. It is a ricky stator flywheel. Anyone else seen this?

[trail rider]

yup it did it too mine, except it was the stock flywheel, sounded like something was about to gernade under neither the cover. It did it to me when i was wide open down a road, but i road it for a few hours, cause we was chasing cows... ended up having to cut the fly wheel off

[Snopczynski]

Oh my! Mine comes off, its just loose on the hub.

I had a RS flywheel do the same thing. Mine was only used for 5 hours befor it broke. I had a post about it in the product review section. It was like 4 pages back.

Snoop yours is case #2 that I have herd of RS Flywheels doing this. I believe moneybags was the first.

 

Did it mess anything up? and Was your flywheel lightened?

[Snopczynski]

As far as I can tell everything is ok. It was lightened also.

[Screaming Yellow Zonker]

My RS did that too.

The stock ones do it too!

I had a RS Flywheel, had to weld a puller on to it to get it off, less than a year old. My 96 stocker had broken up magnets in it....

My RS stator went bad in less than a year as well. They warrantied it no questions asked....

 

Sad to say, but OEM ignition is the best stuff on these bikes.

having machined several of these flywheels, I can attest that they are made of crap materials. Steel being the main thing. it machines like garbage. The rivits they use are sub par. There is a reason they are so cheap. using scrap metal for flywheels is not the way to do things.
