This is a question for the do it yourselfers on the flywheel lightening. How many of you have actually balanced it after you were done, and if you did, how did you? I thought of using a surface grinding wheel balancer, what else could I use. Someone said to use a mower blade balancer, but I don't think that would work at all. I herd that some just didn't balance it after. Have you had any problems later?

 

bump!!

 

i did mine myself and did not need to ballance it runs great

 

I did mine myself and dident have a prob. I look at it like this if it's balanced from the factory and you chuck it up right in the lathe and remove a even amount all the way around it would pretty munch have to still be balanced. Just for the heck of it I put my mower balde balancer on a flat surface and measured the distance from the top of the flywheel to the table all the way around and it was even to the 0.003 before and after. But im not sure if that method works for something that turns alot of rpms???

Well, gotter put back in and took it for a spin. WOW, what a difference! The bottom end is improved ssoooo much. It actually feels like a twostroke should feel like now!!! But at the same time I did a couple other mods too. I chucked the airbox and rejetted, and put a RydeFX clicker shock from a ProX 600 front ski in. The shock will definatly not make it faster, but it definatly bits harder and the dampening is the ****!!! It definatly revs like a two stroke should now, and you can feel it in the bottom excelleration!!! This is a must do, that is if you don't care about the electric start...
