WTB: Flywheel Weight for '86 KX500
SupermotoFan:
According to Steahly.com, 86-89 took a 16oz. weight. I do not know if there are any other brands available.
While I realize flywheel weights are controversial, it sounds like it might be good for my type of riding.

I just bought a flywheel weight for my '04 K5 from Steahly. In my invoice pack it had a list of sale/discontinued items. They were selling older model weights for the KX500, call them for details as I can't remember what years.

Thanks for the info on the discounted parts! For now, I'll try to hold out to see if someone has one used.
Cheers!

Cheers!lol but why would u want to put weight on ur flywheel?wouldnt that reduce power or something to that effect?hey, I dont know everything if u think its a dumb question :-D
ignorance is bliss...
MadKaw:
it doesn't reduce power, but it adds rotational weight to spread out the power "hit" that occurs in 2-strokes. some people like the power, but not particularly the snap of the powerband. also in some types of riding the weight will help in low RPM riding in tight areas and technical trails.
basically it smooths and spreads out the power curve.
to each there own!
