23 ounce flywheel weights

[mp5]

Tried my fww for the first time today. Conditions in Southern New Brunswick, Canada were wet, rocky, hilly, rooty trails. Nothing more than 3-4th gear in any straight stretch. Results.....super low end traction. Very subtle and linear power leading up to "on the pipe". Bike never stalled once in 4 hrs (60-70 kms) when lugging at low rpms. Took some getting used to that slower build up to the pipe, but only a few mins. Very happy w this mod!

Do you have anymore weights left? I think it will fit my 97 EC250.

Are there 23 oz flywheels available for a 2011 200 ? I will call Go Fasters on Monday . Also need to find out about the Sledgehammer cover for my bike ?

I called him this morning too. He has some in stock
Going to sneak it past the wife so I can have a 2T tractor

The 23 oz will not fit your 97', but the 97' should already be more of a tractor in stock form then any with the flywheel weight added. The heavy magneto and the counter balancer make that year bike an unstoppable lug machine......

13-50 gearing and it's hard to chug along behind my boys in 1st gear on a trail. Maybe I should go down to 12 and retard the timing a little. Dunno why it wouldn't fit the 97. Previous owner took out the lighting coil.
Does anybody make a weight for this bike?

Bummer, if you could get your hands on the lighting coil you would know what im talking about.

You have nothing outside your flywheel?

What sort of flywheel nut do you have holding the flywheel on?

I think you can run a flywheel weight, if the stock Ducati external lighting has been removed. That was almost the same size as one of these 23oz weights.
The difference in the two is that your '97's stock external weight (as part of the external lighting) was held in "exact place" by matching the machined holes in the rear of the weight to the rivets in the flywheel, and using a long barrelled big headed nut screwed onto the end of the crank to secure it tightly (instead of the short nut like the "modern bikes" use).

You could always go to a 13/52 gearing. 13/53 is available, but I like the spacing of the 13/52 better. With the 52, you can walk alongside the bike while it's in first gear and it won't stall.

I haven't had the cover off in a while to see what it looks like in there. I will look tonight after work. Don't have a clue why he took it off.
Yeah 13/52 sounds like my kind of gearing to crawl up the side of a tree

The ducati stator/flywheel us no where near the same size as the 23 oz weight. They may be the same weight, but very different in shape and size.
