Has any one tried to remove the flywheel weight on a 300 vertigo. If so how easy was it to remove and what was bike like to ride after.

The weight is easy enough to remove, 3 x M8 countersunk screws that ought to have been loctited in. If you want to remove the cover spacer, you will need shorter, by 10mm, cover screws, there are two different lengths of cover screws, longer ones go where the dowels are located. If you do remove the cover spacer, you also need to remove the stator spacer/spacers. The stator spacer should be 10mm thick. You will then need 10mm shorter stator screws too. The motor will pick up quicker and not roll on so much going over the top of steps or up rocky becks. Bye, Peter B.
