flywheel weight ?

I'm sure there is but this guy is asking about adding weight to an ec which is already the heavy rotor. I have tried that and you can't get enough weight in the standard cover to feel the difference .. on the EC.

I couldn't really tell if he had the 2 or 3 ignition from his post.

I have the 2ke

Gaklx, If you have the 2k2 ignition your flywheel wt should fit. I assume it just threads onto the igntion end of the crank. It replaces the nut on the 2k2. If your ignition wires exit at about 10 oclock then you have the 2k2 and a wt should spin right on.

sorry 2k3 its a true ec 300

I did not read the link you cite, but the difference is quite noticeable to me.

It depends on which ignition you have. The true EC models have a heavy flywheel already. Or maybe you're very sensitive. I'm guessing now but I bet adding a 10oz wt to the EC is in the region of adding 5%. Maybe if I rode back to back I could tell the difference but I reckon even an hour between rides I couldn't be sure of that small a change.

iancp, mine's the true EC, so far as I know. I think it's 2 things:

1. I wasn't looking for a huge change, I really like the engine characteristics, I just wanted a little more engine momentum in corners, b/c I was stalling now & then.

2. I am picky like Goldilocks about bike set up.

the 10 oz. weight is just enough to carry a little more momentum in the corners, w/o killing the snap or the rev on top. it does just that, + it is a litttle easier to get hooked up on trials-type terrain at low speeds/revs.
