Recently bought a 2011 gasgas txt pro 280cc bike but is has come with a weighted flywheel. Never had a 280 before (previous was 300) and been told that without the weight it is too 'snappy' at the slow stuff. Anyone any ideas as to wether i should take it off?

Ride a few events as it is and see how you like it.The weight does make a big difference to the bottom end response,also helps grip and makes it less likely to stall

Ah right. Wasnt entirely sure how it affected the bike. Will try it. Thanks.
