trialsscotland Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Just bought myself a 16 300 evo and im debating putting a flywheel weight on it or not. I've never used one before so some pros and cons/best weight to consider would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsandywhite Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Are they not fitted as standard? When I tested the 2017 4t & 2t at Inch Perfect, John Lampkin said they were fitted to help find grip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlos Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 Are you all ready using a slow throttle? You can always add another base gasket to the barrel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapezeartist Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 I have no practical knowledge of flywheel weights, but thinking through the theory leaves me sceptical. While the weight will significantly increase the inertia of the moving parts of the engine, when you add in the weight of bike and rider it will be largely insignificant. Now someone, tell me I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdale Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 The standard 300 has a flywheel weight fitted on the back of the flywheel (see picture of when we removed ours), so not easy to see unless you remove the flywheel. Some riders remove the weight to get faster response, so maybe ask the previous owner if they removed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirdabalot Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I know. Barbers use the same trick, offering hair extensions to save them sweeping up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
