Ouch!!!

 

[Midlake Crisis]

I bet that made an unhappy sound as it came apart

Doubt that was from the starter.

 

[SmittySX]

Thats nuts...

Must of been the tremendous spool up speed of the XS 771 this flywheel was on !

Lucky for him JetManiac had a replacement fly and puller ready to save his trip to WaveDaze.

Neat! Since there are no circular scratch marks, it would appear that this failure occurred while standing still. Such as locking down the flywheel and torquing to 295 ft/lbs?

How did it break?

How did it break?

Just broke. He had no idea why.

That's gotta be the nicest break I have ever seen no scratches nothing

Stator wasn't even damaged.

 

[madd_dips]

Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[ajmps1]

Too much hammer not enough puller

JB weld?

 

[orangefinger]

just want to throw this out there....we never had any lightened flywheel fail from jet maniac or #0 , there are several people currently offering these services but just shaving off or drilling holes without proper tools and knowledge is careless....just my 0.2

Now the rest of my electrical system seems to be fried, awesome lol. My ski acts like it's lost rpm input to the cdi or running on one cylibder.

Very frustrating. Cost of these problems far outweighs any performance gain of a light flywheel.
