I am in the process of having Rick Ritter to race lighten a flywheel for me, what are the pros and con's of this mod?
Any help would be great, also what are a few things to expect after installing it?

 

The pros , almost instant throttle response, quicker overall, less weight, you can achieve higher rpm's.

Cons, you lose the starter. Hopefully you have a good piston with all the mods you have.

 

Yeah I have a .20over Wiesco and I eliminated the starter a long time ago, so that isn't gonna bother me any.

 

Your getting closer all the time:

to owning two quads so you have one to ride just for fun and the other just for speed.

My Alcohol Quad is great for sand and playing in the yard and drag racing. But when you want to ride the wooded trails or the trails in the sand at OK. forget it, it just jumps off the trails and goes almost where it wants to. The lightened flywheel made it rev to 4400 rpm like idle, so you start at 4400 and go up to 8 real easy. You loose a lot of low end torque. Straight line riding here you come!

 

Yeah thats all my Polaris does is drag race, I have a few other atv's to trail ride so I wanna take this one to the MAX.

 

Since this is the race flywheel i'm thinking it will help in 300ft dirt drags correct? Please correct me if i'm wrong.

 

your correct it should help out alot.

it will get you in the meat of the powerband quicker. the only time I could see it hurting would be on an uphill drag, however Ive never heard anyone complain about a loss of power and the clutch is basically a big extra flywheel.

 

When we ride GLAMIS and hit OLDSMOBILE HILL its hard to keep the front end down going up. It is Scary fast up hill, down hill, side hill, flat hill, no one keep the gas on very long going around the big bowl.

 

I've heard faster much revving for the engine but you will lose a bit of low end torque. But why would that make much difference if your engagement is much higher than stock?

 

Thats true, mine engages alittle over 4000, I was also wondering if the motor will still vibrate as bad or if it will get worse?
