Drilled flywheel

<< < (2/4) > >>

RoostDaddy:
yes it bolts right up.  you may want to get a cdi from one of those years too or you will have to splice two wires together from the newer cdi to work with the older stator.  I had to splice the Black/Yellow and White/Green wires together off of the stator and then that gets plugged into the Black/Yellow on the CDI.

kaw rider:

Hmm. Ok... So what am I getting out of my kx5 by doing this? Is it going to kill my bottom end? I want some to stay, but I also want a little quicker revving...

kaw rider:
You won't lose alot of weight maybe 8-12oz. But that what a flywheel weight adds to the OD. You still will have good buttom end.

Friar-Tuck:
 I think you may be able to drop a little more mass by lightening the clutch basket.
(I can't remember the site but will look for it)
  The Idea was to improve oiling, however there was a substantial amount of holes drilled in the basket.
It may not appear to be much, but with the combination of the flywheel & Basket it should be heading in the right direction.
