Lightening flywheel

[customizedcreationz]

Has anyone lightened a flywheel on their bike and if so how much weight did you remove and how did the motor respond rpm wise?

I ve done this on bikes in the past and I know this motor has plenty of low end grunt and mid range power, so I am curious to how it reacted with a lightened flywheel?

My little honda 70 ( with a 120 cc 4 spd motor ) had alot of mods and the lightened flywheel was great at the track, but sucked riding the bike woods. My son ran some high or mid 16's @ 82-83 mph out of it. It reved fast and the cam I had used worked decently with it.

So I am curious if anyone has played around with lightened flywheels and if so the results they had? I know this isn't really a street mod most people would do.

Sportmax shaves theirs down to approx 5.5 lbs according to their website.
Can't say how it feels, never tried one.

They shave down the early model flywheels to match the late models. It does spin up a bit faster but you lose a bit of torque too.

I have them in stock too if needed.

Is there something you don't have in stock Sean?

Sean how does it affect the torque feel and low end losses?

I don't typically run them on my own bikes. They help revving quicker but less rotational mass so they don't maintain rpm's on the launch. In fact a heavier flywheel can help that!
