dick 1 Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 It will make it abit quicker to respond, and the revs will drop abit quicker too when you shut-off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterb Posted September 10, 2007 Report Share Posted September 10, 2007 Black throttle tube is the slow action, white tube is the standard. With the weight removed, the motor will respond quicker and tend not to roll so much when going up rocky rivers. Bye, PeterB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkrisztian Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 (edited) I don't really understand. The flywheel is not needed for the stator to make the electricity, and in this way to appear spark at the plug? I don't really think that after completely removing the flywheel, the bike will start, because there will be no spark. Or I am misunderstanding something? Or you want only to machine some weight off, and to leave the flywheel on the bike? Edited November 8, 2007 by fkrisztian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiller Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 No flywheel no spark. Why do you feel you need less flywheel anyway? Aaron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or I am misunderstanding something? Or you want only to machine some weight off, and to leave the flywheel on the bike? In the UK the Beta has an aditional bolted on weight (for the mud I guess) so he is only talking about removing this weight. I know at least one TC member that has a selection of machined down ones he swaps between depending on ride location. Personally whenever I get on a bike with the weight on I end up 20-30 metres further than I want to be due to the roll on effect at the top of a climb etc. Obviously this can be very amusing for bystanders but not so for the bike owner Take it off give it a go, try it with both types of throttle tube. A very cheap and easy way to get your bike feeling just how you like it. Be warned though give each and every combination a good months trial before writing it off as they all take a while to get used too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
