Mood: Just fallen in love with road riding again!
Great upgrade, really makes the most of the revvy 748 motor!
The alloy flywheel is about 800g lighter than standard, so even more weight saving than the light clutch and right on the end of the crank!
feels a bit like a lower gear, but unlike lower gearing, doesnt run out of revs faster.
Word of warning: get it fitted properly, note the type of locktite to use and the torque settings. well worth re-torqueing (not sure about spelling) at each service. If it comes loose it destroys itself and takes the main bearings, and maybe the bottom end shells with it.
if you are not spanner happy, then pay an engine builder, who has done it before, to do it, it will cost about 3 hours labour, some 3bond and oil/filter. but if it comes loose you get full comeback.
a cheap and fun performance mod.
