Default lightening fly wheel on cvt quads- such as scrammy and TB

I know as a fact that some of you have lightened fly wheels on your scrambler 400's so i want to get some replies- the can-am forum wasnt any help so i came to you guys

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......
