250-500cc Steahly Flywheel Weight

[Chisler]

I was thinking of trying one out .... I see it’s still out there ... any one using them and have ya noticed any difference in the tight trails

I have never used one on a WR, but I did have one on a KDX 220. What it did for that bike was make more traction and smoother delivery at low RPMs.

Cool ... those KDX bikes are nice rides ....I just ordered the flywheel weight ... hoping it helps in the tight stuff ... and cutting back the bars was the best thing for me I really like the steering now ... hoping the flywheel fits without a cover spacer ... doesn’t show one in the Steahly pic if so I’ll have to modify the Emperor racing skid plate I have on the bike it’s a tight fit.

Sometimes, on certain models they have enough room to not run the spacer.

How much weight it has? I have planned to buy also flywheel weight to my TC250 2018. There are 9 oz and 11 oz versions available for my bike if I remember correctly.

 

[Chisler]

Yes you are correct , there’s two weights available for your Husqvarna ... for my 2010 Wr 300 the only weight available is the 10 ounce .... www.steahlyoffroad.com everyone that I have talked to has said to buy the heavy flywheel weight as you can always turn it down to remove some of the weight if you want... something I’ve always wanted to try .... : )

Go for it, what have you got to lose? It will calm that thing down on the nasty stuff.

I have one on a 1998 RM250 that I ride in the woods. it definitely smooths the hit. mine is the 12 ounce one.and it allows you to ride a gear high without lighting up the rear wheel in the slippery shit.

Chisler, I recently installed this on my 99 wr 250 (cheaper on amazon). It made a big difference. The bike will lug way down in the rpm`s. It also helps the bike from stalling! I also installed a G2 throttle tamer. It`s worth the money in my .02.

The flywheel does fit without a cover spacer.

I also installed a G2 throttle tamer. It`s worth the money in my .02.

I have the G2 also. I had plenty of low end power, but it was a it too jerky. The G2 made it easier to modulate that power in low speed rough stuff.

That’s good to hear .... I just got it dropped off at my door today .... did you find that it loosened up after a few hours... it also never came with a spacer ... so that’s nice ... I’ll try to get er in for a weekend try out ... also I’m running 13/51 on the sprockets

I used blue loc tight on mine. I have about 15 hours on it. its still tight! I ended up running a 13/48.

Well too busy with work commitments I finally got this fly wheel weight installed ..the original flywheel nut was on good ... after some choose words I got it loose .. to the ones that don’t know the flywheel nut is “NOT A LEFTHAND THREAD” it’s a regular thread meaning looking at the retaining nut you loosen it “ Counter Clockwise” .... also dropped the pilot jet ... went from a #45 to a #42 .... air screw is out 1 1/2 turns now .... try to get a ride report this weekend .... : )

So I’ve taken it out and the first thing I noticed was no more flameouts ... the traction is pretty good ... it’s a lot smoother and as everyone has said a gear higher and she lugs right along ... it been wet here with this week drying out .... down hill stretches I find myself using the brake a bit more ... still winds out good ... for the price and installation I’d recommend it... it’s also diminished the vibration abit ..
