I know that I probably cant get a lighter fly wheel for my little ds250..... but i was just wondering if it ever became possible, what kind of effects would there be?

i know it revs quicker, thats for sure- less inertia on heavy flywheel

and manual quads with gears stall much easier........ that is the only drawback i know of

but what are the drawbacks for cvt quads? they cant stall because once the rpm becomes too low the tranny disengages

Are there any drawbacks at all for cvt quads? i suppose that the quad will slow down and lose a lot of momentum going up hills because there is less rotating mass and therefore less inertia to keep you going- but that happens anyway but less significantly


im sure there are people with lots of experience in this on this forum......

 

come on!!!!!!!! why doesnt anyone have any answers?

 

to deep for me bud! I am still learning how to get mine running...much less how to rebuild the 14th ring on the right side of the isoceles triangle in the 24th dimension of the liniar panel....box, thingy...that you were talking about!
Sorry dude...wish I could answer that one for ya. But I am anxious to read when someone does!
LOL!

 

The only thing i can offer is a little theory... It seems to me that the primary clutch weighs significantly more than the flywheel anyway, so changing the flywheel's weight by a certain percantage will actually change the overall rotating mass that is directly on the crankshaft by a much smaller percent. Seems to me that there won't be much of a change and you'll be paying for a lot of machining that will likely not net you any noticable effect. My $0.02.

 

Well, I have seen where quite a few people have done it on their Polaris. Besides the quicker rev, it just help them lose a little weight.

Call Rick Ritter at Ritter Cycle, and he will be able to tell you all the benefits.

 

It works good. I had it done on my predator, scrambler and my ds650x. I am very pleased with the results. Rath racing did all mine.

 

what did you do on your scrambler? just the flywheel or also the primary clutch? how much of an effect did you feel? and were there any drawbacks>?
