alvin123 Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Are the benefits of these flywheels worth it. How much does it help smooth the bottom end? The head has been fitted with a lower compression insert already. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ormplus Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 if you have changed the head already and still found it to lively you should have went for a 125. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charliechitlins Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 Not so sure about that. Most of my experience is on a Sherco 290 (270) and now I'm on a GG 200 (175). I'm having a hard time getting used to the snappy delivery. The little engine seems to rev faster. I'm losing traction, pushing the front tire in loose/slippy conditions.... I may go for a slow throttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordi Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Not sure you will find any it smoother at the bottom end, just a flat dead feeling motor. However its all personal preference. Edited June 22, 2011 by jordi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gasser_david Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hello Don't know about flywheel but very surprised if you find the 99 TXT200 a bit lively... as I assume that heavier flywheel is to calm it down. Had a 99 TXT 200 and found 2001 '200' similar and slightly better ....as I liked the soft usable power that the 160cc puts out... as I'm an over 50 rider. Engine completely standard apart from a clutch "clean up" mod that I found in Beta section of site.. excellent instructions... and my mod of only using 3 springs on pressure plate...which is OK for my type and style of riding Weigh around 83 kilos in riding kit...so I don't think my weight could be a significant factor in flattening our power. Have you got slow action twist grip? How is carb set up? david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richt Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 I put one on my last bike (06 Pro250) It made quite a difference Smooth off the bottom and never stalled. Depends on your technique it was great for off cambers but if you needed the front to come up you had to plan it a bit earlier and pop the clutch. It will make it very calm untill the revs get about half way and of course the flywheel effect will take it longer to slow down when you shut off the throttle! I liked it but since I got my 2010 I've not bothered to transfer it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
