Flywheel weights
ruputa:
Looks like several of you use flywheel weights. I do not have any experience with weights. Is the power band a lot smoother ? How is the engine performance changed? is there a manufacturer recommended? And lastly, has anyone made there own flywheel weights?
Thanks,
Jeff

I have a Steahly 14oz. on mine. The power is still there. It just slows down the delivery. The ability to operate the bike at lower thottle positions with control and less chance of stalling I think are the features I like best. Combined with gearing it really makes the tight nasties almost effortless. As for easier starting I can't comment because my bike has always started easy. Installation is a snap. With this brand you can remove it and replace the stock nut in <30 min. if you want.

Steahly 14oz. Makes the bike much smoother with less stalling. It does help the starting because of the extra inertia. It's well worth the money. If you don't like it sell it on ebay for what you paid.

Take one for a ride before you buy. I absolutley hated the power delivery after I put that thing on, I ended up giving my Steahly away.

Thanks a lot for your input guys. I think I will try one out and see if it helps in woods riding. I know what you mean Paul, kinda like putting a lease on a beast!
