<{POST_SNAPBACK}>so what clutch are you going to fit with the solid flywheel, as the damping is usualy done by the dual mass and the centre plate is a solid type (no springs) if you put a un sprung clutch centre on that it will make for a interesting drive! they do this conversion on the transits where you remove the dual mass and fit a solid flywheel and sprung centre plate, but ive heard they drive awfull. how much does a standard flywheel weigth? the flywheel on my bike (rgv 250) weighed 1.2kg and i lightened it to 700g and it revs like a
, but the crank, pistons and rods where all balanced at the same time, this needs to be done in my opinion to get the most benefit. good luck with the mod though, i love it when people go outside the box and try something different, my bike is a bit special, daylight mot 120kg wet with 60bhp of snorting 2 stroke power, look out for it on country roads! if you see it behind you pull over because its coming past
Lightened flywheels belong on high reving bikes and CTRs! I would be interested to see if it makes any difference though! The point about the solid drive is a good one Steve! Adam was one of the most vocal about clunky gearchanges and drivetrain snatch (and got the Vibratechnics mount made) so it will be good to hear his opinions lol!
