Flywheel degree key and mods

[97warrior350]

Its proboably on here but how hard is it to put the vitos timing key in amd how do you do it? Also would you gain much by lightening the fly wheel and how much?

Ya need a flywheel puller to remove the flywheel & then it's as simple as swapping out the woodruff key. Lightening the flywheel will make the engine a lil more rev happy but at the sacrifice of the momentum that the heavier flywheel carries into the next gear after your shift. It really comes down to the type of riding you do, if you're a woods/trail rider ya mike wanna leave the weight or find a happy medium where ya don't have as much weight removed. Some guys on here have done it though.

thanks i woods ride about half the time and the other half im getting ready to take on a couple guys so how much chould i take out maybe 3 oz.

they took 4 out of mine and i love it its so much snappier

 

[97warrior350]

does it carry momentum good though

since your a woods bike i think 3-4oz would do the trick these bikes have a huge amount of torque to start with

Not to sound like a know it all dick head and i do most of the riding with my kid in it dunesbut. I did the vitos key swap and didnt think much of it. I did a gear swap and it was a new bike

A sprocket swap is a big change man, no doubt. Lower gearing definitely gives a nice snap.
