SXR 800 Total Loss Flywheel Worth It?

[djkorn1]

about $100??

Will the stock lightened flywheel be fully functional? Will it mess with the tune timing?

Yes if you retain the magnets and only the battery charging will be affected if the magnets are removed.

No.. your timing will be the same spot.

Just bought and recived 2 for a 800 ,1100 kawasaki great workmanship more than happy to buy more off him !!

 

[djkorn1]

There is is significant difference in weight from a stock lightened flywheel with magnets removed to just a stock
lightened flywheel.

Never pulled the magnets on mine, but had it cut. Hmmmm, how much do the magnets weight?? I'm guessing you are also getting less resistance from not being 'magnetised?'

I run a vilder with almost no magnets, (they don't barely even charge it!)

I can't remember what the final weight was without the magnets. I do remember that it was comparable with most aftermarket aluminum flywheels

can kawis run TL on the stock system too? by removing the magnets? sorry for the jack lol

 

[djkorn1]

yes. for sure... 2004s and up

 

[pepperson4]

lol i meant yami's, got mixed up

Took me a little bit to find it on PWCtoday but Shonuff did a good caparison with all the different techniques and flywheels back in 08.

I do not think that you can do that with a Yami. You need an aftermarket ignition.

The stock Kawasaki SXR magnets weigh around 0.20-lbs each times four plus the plastic and stainless housing that holds them in which is around 0.88-lbs total weight removed.

The Yamaha flywheels need the magnets for the charge coil which powers the CDI unit so they can not be removed.

The stock Kawasaki SXR flywheel is 4.48-lbs and here are my lightened SXR flywheel weights.

Lightened Charging Flywheel Options:

Kawasaki SXR lightened 3.80-lbs
Kawasaki SXR lightened with ring gear and hub drilled 3.48-lbs

Lightened Non-Charging Total Loss Flywheel Options:

Kawasaki SXR lightened TL magnets removed 2.92-lbs
Kawasaki SXR lightened TL magnets removed with ring gear and hub drilled 2.60-lbs

All the stock, lightened and aluminum flywheel weights are listed here: http://www.x-h2o.com/threads/37809-...aki-amp-Yamaha-Lightened-Flywheels&highlight=

 

[djkorn1]

So for an SXR

Stock= 4.48 lbs.
TBM Charging = 2.18 lbs.
TBM TL = 1.85 lbs.

Zero, if you can make a stocker 2.6 lbs with TL, that is great! Next time I break my Vilder, I'll send you a stocker. What is the cost for this?

 

[wanderer1]

Zero, any advantage other than weight to a TL flywheel on an SXR?

 

[djkorn1]

Less resistance???? Not sure, but the weight of an SXR flywheel makes a HUGE HUGE difference on low end snap. I feel it is the key to making SXR motors rip out of the hole.

 

[wanderer1]

Oh I agree completely. My Yamahas really benefitted from TL but you don't hear much about them on the Kawi's

How long time does your battery hold when its not charge?

I have a 12V 18AMP in mine and love to have fun days with friends and family thats meaning maybe 20-30start ups on a day, is that possible?

 

[djkorn1]

I can usually get 2-3 tanks of gas out of a charge. Probably about 30-40 starts and an 1100 Rulemate Bilge.

My brother recently just fixed my charging...guess some coil was hooked up wrong...

So with the stock lightened/magnet removed sxr flywheel do i have to remove the stator?
