Im wanting to add some flywheel to my YZ 250F? Dose anyone have any
experience using one on this bike? What weight did you go with? I've
see 8,10, 12 oz weights and Im not sure which one to get.

There's not an actual weight you can add to that. You'll replace
the whole flywheel. That being said, I ride with a (really fast)
guy that's worries too much, as far as I'm concerned, about
stalling. He uses the middle one from whereever he got his.
Steahley, I believe.

I added 10 oz. on my Gas Gas xc300, almost right away. It both mellows the
hit and helps prevent stalls.

I always wondered why I was struggling so much on Baxter's 300 out in Idaho.
I *should* have been much more at home on a bike almost identical to my own
bike . Perhaps it was the thin air at altitiude and the long hiatus I had
taken from the saddle. Or maybe the crimped,flattened and folded expansion
chamber tinted the powerband a bit red. But maybe I was missing that
flywheel effect too. Whatever it was, I was stinking up the trail.
Cheater clutch 200 saved my ass.

Probably all of the above. I know the bike works pretty good, because
Tim Harrell flat ripped on it in Nevada.

An absolutely awesome loaner bike.

Next time you get out this way you'll have to try mine. A cheater clutch
EC300, lots of flywheel, magic clutch, enormous grin factor. I owe you a
ride, anyway.

Well, sure.

Um, thanks?
That just threw me as much as anything else ever has. Not a collection of
words I'm used to seeing together.
