The picture below of my TY175's flywheel:

Is the outside steel plate a weight or is this just the stock flywheel on a TY175?

Thanks in advance.

looks like a stock fly wheel to me

Yes that is a standard 175 flywheel, the extra weight is rivetted on at the factory presumably to give the engine more plonkability (if that's a word), I have skimmed off more than half the weight and it helps the pickup but still seems fine at the bottom end, no more tendency to stall than with full weight on.

Thanks.

I'll put it back together and ride it for awhile before I make a decision on changing the weight of the flywheel.

I'm one of the weird guys that likes the weight on a TY250 flywheel.
