okay i got my flywheel off now i want to get it to shed some weight i took some pics of it but not sure how i can upload them as i am not sure where i can cut the oz`s off ?

 

dont do it yourself!! if you take to much off you will wreck the engine. i heard that it will make the engine run in reverse?? send it to rick he will do it for $75. dont risk it!!

 

i have acsess to a couple of lathes i only want to remove 10-12 ozs 1 is a atv mechanic other is a tool & die shop that we have at work . i would love to send it to rick but the border screws us up here

 

Most of the reputable shops also re-balance the flywheel.

 

Also, look at the cost of the flywheel. You mess it up.....cha ching.

 

I did mine myself. I cut mine down taking the ring gear off, and turned the body down to the smallest outside diameter, just cleaning it up where the magnets are mounted on the other side. be carefull not to get it to hot as you may melt the glue holding the mags on. Just use coolent, you will need to anyhow on cast iron(messy). Then just cleaned it up where the 45deg is on the front ouside edge is. A picture of what it would look like here! USe it to give you an idea of what it will look like. Use a common lawn mower blade balancer to balance it if you like, but many of use found it not nessesary after doing so. The ones that I have seen done by "professionals" have no extra material taken off of them, so how did they balance them? The inside diameter of the flywheel is turned concentric with the center hole, if you turn the outside diameter concentric with all else, there isn't much need to balance it as you basically just did by taking off the uneven matarial of the casting off...

 

thanx that looks like a race cut but i want to keep the ring gear

 

I like pull start, it makes me keep on top of the maintanance. These bike start pretty easy, and at first I was not wanting to get rid of the starter, and battery. But I said screw it, and I am glad I did!!! It was well worth is!!!

 

ya i just want to keep for the wife to ride she would be pissed if she had to pull it all the time if i could find another flywheel i would do it to try

 

update i got my fly back but i could only get 5oz off as not sure how much i could cut off ohwell that sucks but better than nothing i geuss i will update when i get it running again this weekend i hope
