Who lightens both the DS flywheel assembly and the large starter gear?

Who lightens the large gear on the clutch? I keep shattering damper springs imbedded in the gear???

 

ive seen pami to lighten the flywheel

 

Any competent local machine shop can do these services, provided what you want is carefully explained to them. I used a local shop here in Las Vegas.

I understand that your bike is primarily a drag bike, Scooby, but for people that want to maintain ridability and ease of use, be carefull not to lighten these items too much. I've found that extremely light bottom ends will let the bike accelorate slightly quicker, at the expence of the bike being easier to stall in tight and technical areas as well as slightly easier to bog when the clutch is "dumped" on the launch.

 

Hay Don,
I may be going against the perverbial grain here but I for one am glad to see you back and contributing to the forum.
We can use your experience and knowledge on here. Welcome back.

 

I have a question too, I do lots of fast trail riding, jumping and racing around a little bit but if I get my flywheel lightened will the motor rev quicker, or have better response?

 

I agree any good machinest could do the work. Lightening your flywheel should let your turbo spool up faster.

 

Thank you JSsDS, I appreciate that. I'm working hard to make things right with the folks that I did wrong, and am thankfull that some people remember that I did many folks right as well.


Yes, it will rev quicker, and have better throttle responce, but it will have draw backs as well. If your like me, I'll try to hit jumps at nuetral throttle and let it idle while in the air. I stap the throttle again just as I land. With a light bottom end, and high compresion, the possibility of a stumble or stall as you land is greater. In hairpin turn like those on a MX track, the transition from off throttle to on is a little trickyer as well.
Keep in mind, the benefits are about equal to the draw backs. The lighter you make the bottom end, the quicker it will rev but the more trouble you will notice in the tight stuff. If all you do is lighten the flywheel, your benifits will be slight, but the hick-ups will be less noticable as well.

 

Cool, thanx!
