Title: Get it off
Post by: kawdude on October 19, 2003, 10:37:02 AM

Where do I find the puller to remove the flywheel.  Just purchased the Steahly 14oz and I assume the flywheel must be removed?!!?

The flywheel does NOT get removed to add the weight. Just remove the nut and spin the weight on. Once tight, tighten the little allen screws on the sides (every 90 degrees).

I removed the flywheel screws and added a liberal dose of locktite.  Don't want it coming loose...

I am learning to love a 500 without a flywheel weight too! Pros and cons, pros and cons.... :twisted:

Depends, on the really tight stuff it is OK, but for the most part my riding style is geared more to the "I want it right now!" style. :lol: Don't want to wait on spool up!

It's ok Rick, we know... old age and everything :lol:
