Here is a tech article discussing the effects of flywheel mass (moment of inertia).

F_G,

Like Ken mentions, you can add a flywheel weight to your existing 2K-2. The nut is removed and a new nut with integrated weight is installed. Your 2K-2 ignition remains as-is (i.e, no flywheel puller is needed).

A 10 to 14oz weight makes a noticeable difference in my opinion. However, my '07 EC250 has the 2K-3 and it "lugs" down very low without stalling compared to my old '01 XC250 with 2K-2 + 10oz weight.
