23 ounce flywheel weights

S3 fww review:

I just came off the mountain today, great riding - and I love that flywheel weight! It is certainly a rider preference - those who like a "fast hit" probably wouldn't like it - but this is what I have trying to make my bike do for a couple of years now.

It's like a sewing machine! Get on a 2nd gear singletrack hill, put it in 3rd (or 4th!,) and just motor up. Grab a handful of throttle and you just get more power and forward motion, not wheelspin that throws you off-line. Nasty roots or rock ledge? No problem, no stall. It's really not that far off of the feel of my txt321 trials bike, but with a lot more on top!

I have re-jetted, added a V-Force 2 reed cage, reed spacer, larger powervalve cover, RB'd the carb and head, and more recently went to a 2K-3 ignition (it was a "DE" with 2K-2 and 14oz. fww before.) Adding the S3 weight did the trick for me!

If you're one of those guys who likes to ride a gear high and "lug it," I think you'd like this product.

I wouldn't even say riding in a higher gear is the best benefit!

To me the best benefit is stopping the bike from losing traction, when on a steep dusty hill climb it is easy for the rear wheel to spin up and lose grip, instantly you shut the throttle or feather the clutch to find grip, but with the weight it just simply doesn't happen, it just pulls, even when revving the tits off it in first!!!

Following on from my last post, I've taken it off to try the local mx track tomorrow. I've done a few enduros on it, and to be honest it's quite tiring, wheel spin allows you to fall into ruts and isn't transferred to the rider as a jolt. Next enduros I do isn't for another month but I like to do trail riding close to home so I'll let you know how I get on. I think it might be a case of its better for newer riders, but those who need to slide to find the track and constantly need to blip the throttle, a weight this big seems to be quite tiring!

This FWW sounds perfect for me. Long story short my last bike was a 08 WR450 (sold in 2010), then I had a test ride on a 2016 Beta 250 & 300 last year & that's convinced me to get a 2T next.

Two weeks ago I bought a 2007 GasGas EC 250, I haven't had a chance to ride it yet but Im hoping (wishful thinking) that it will be like the Beta, I was very impressed with the Beta because they climbed like a 4t 450. So from what I can gather from the comments in this thread this S3 FWW will make it tractor through mud & hill climbs.

Definitely not having it on suited the terrain today, sandy dry motocross track, gonna keep it off for the next enduros and see how I get on. Think there are benefits both ways, but when speed it key, run without!

Is there anywhere in the US to order one of these weights?

It's only 24 bucks?! I may have to give it a try...

So, the 23 oz fww on a 2k2 would be a similar MOI than if I had a 2k3 ignition and a 10 oz or so?
