im thinking about removing elsectric start and getting the flywheel race lightened.what do you guys think,is it worth the money?is it recomended for stock engines?thanks for any help..

 

just remember this may drastically lower the value of it when u want to sell it. thats teh only reason i stayed away and might just go to the trail lighten so i can keep it.

 

the main reason for me wanting to remove electric start is the weight.i weighed the starter and the battery on a bathroom scale and it said 15lbs.thats a good start to lighten her up a little.im not to worried about resale value.

 

I removed my 99 TB 250 electric start and battery then had HPD do the race lightening
on the flywheel. It had a big difference with throttle response.

 

how much of a difference would i see with a regular trail lighten? im planning on selling mine at the end of the season or beginning of next season so i dont want to remove the starter because u dont know if the person wants it or not.

 

What would be involved in the trail lightning? I mean, what would it cost, how extensive of a tare down would I have to do to do it? How many hours? Ect.?

 

trail lightening removes 1 pound and makes a noticable amount of throttle increas and race lighten removes 2.3 pounds i think and the starter which is like 15 pounds and makes a dramatic increase in throttle response. they are both prob about 1 hour tear down.

 

it only takes me about 10 minutes to get to the flywheel and remove the starter.i dont have the flywheel puller so i havent got that off yet.

 

exactly gettin it off is a pain in the ***. i quoted it for someone thats a rookie[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] im right now debating if it is worth trail lightening it because i am going to be doing a whole teardown before i start the season.

 

do you use the flywheel puller tb?if so where did ya get it?
