[Makrakin08]

Just wonder wot the advantages of a lightend and balanced flywheel would have on my k10? Cheers :k10:

i think somebody said on here, maybe paul smith or in one of his threads, for every kg taken off its like taking 30 kg off the car weight! might be wrong though! also helps the car the "rev up" more freely

very worthwhile upgrade imo

Stock or heavier flywheel is good for keeping constant road speeds...(better economy)

lightened suits application where there is lots of accelerating then braking then accelerating again...etc....or drag racing where there is only acceleration

sammo, i beg to differ, mine needs less throttle when accelerating, and uses the same fuel when cruising

I think he means the revs won't be moving around as much with a heavier fly, so its easier to cruise along - and if the revs are constant, it would use less fuel. You could probably maintain steady revs/speed, but it's easier with a standard fly.

Thats the impression i got from his post

you can buy a jun f/w, or get yours machined, but fitting is expensive if you dont diy
