light weight flywheel

[go-blow-or roll]

has anyone had there flywheel lightened? if so is there any real power gain? or qyicker revs?

[Banshee]

I have heard people talk about it and from what they say it works pretty good. If you figure you drop a pound of centrifical weight at high RPMs that is a lot of extra weight your bike has. Not sure how you calculate this but I would guess it is up there in weight savings.

i think a pund of spinning weight is equal to like 4 or 5 pounds of still weight.
it woudl be like making your flywheel 4 pounds lighter in high RPM. sound like a decent enough idea to me

does anyone know anyone who does a good job on this at a reasonable price?

[370banshee]

if somebody does know a good flywheel lightener i want a hook up

well the guy that built my banshee motor was telling me about it, he said that it works pretty well and they have gotten the machining down pat, he said that they are holding together all the way up to 11,500rpm. which is a good thing.he knows his stuff, but i just thought i would ask around before going ahead with it. he has a machine shop that does all his work for him. i can get the details and let you guys know about it, if you want.

i should see him tomorrow and i'll get back to you ass soon as i can, i might even be able to set up some sort of bulk deal??? see what i can do!

[go-blow-or roll]

well as you guys can tell i have had some trouble getting ahold of the guy about the flywheel thing, but i will keep you all updated

[go-blow-or roll]

well i talked to the guy that built my motor today about the flywheel, he's not too willing to "give" out the specs on it. he told me that he has too much time and money into getting it right to just hand it out, more or less? he is big into racing so i guess he has to guard his tricks somewhat? but i will let you guys know how it works, i plan on getting it done when i put the new pistons in, should be in the next month or so.
