Flywheel Weight Cut?

<< < (3/4) > >>

KXcam22:
Using set screws in the face hole should work as long as you don't tighten them enough to flex the flywheel.  That would put it out of balance. Sounds like we are getting somewhere though! Cam.

FactoryPhil:
If you install the weight and torque it but leave the holes for the set screws empty, you could make a mark with a sharpie or center punch in the center of the setscrew bores. Then use a small drill and make a slight depression for the set screws to seat in. Might require less torque on the setscrews themselves. Just a thought.

This is how we solve a problem in KXRiders,many inputs and then a good result for sure! 8-)

alan, this may be a dumb question but why don't yoiu just shave the weight off of the face of the steahly instead of the perimeter. seems like you could avoid the trouble this thread is about. keep in mind, i don't have a steahly so i'm just thinking here no experience talkin'.  MADDOGGY
