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?

I hope that was the right one for my 2k3, 'cause I just ordered one!

(Edit: I only questioned if it was correct because the description says "spacer" even though the picture clearly shows the fww itself... hopefully I didn't just buy a thick ignition cover gasket!)

The EXACT same thing ran through my head. I have my fingers crossed.

I flipped through the S3 catalog first and didn't see a fww/ignition cover spacer listed for the enduro bikes, the only ones I saw were for trials models and were included with the weight where required (not sold separately.) I also didn't find the part number in the S3 catalog that RYP has listed on their site (AS3FW02), so hopefully I get the S3/FW -0638 that is pictured. Fingers crossed indeed!

Did you order one too Gass?

That weight fits on my 2k3 with standard cover no problem

For that price I would assume it is just going to be a spacer. Everybody else is near the $100 mark for the FWW.

Does say spacer....

It turned out to be too good to be true. I received an email this morning saying that their new website just went up and that was incorrect. I just cancelled my order for now since the FWW wasn't real high on my priority list, just figured I'd give it a try at $24! I will say that RYP is on the ball with identifying the problem and they were very polite and prompt with their email.

I've had one on my EC300 for quite a while to help my son manage the power better and on tight rocky single track. I liked it too - it gives it a smoother 4 stroke feel and doesn't spin the rear tire as much. Trials tires don't work as well for me spinning.

I've decided to keep mine off.

With the flywheel helping grip it seems to make the bike snappier at low revs, instead of spinning and eventually finding traction, it finds it immediately, which seems to make the bike incredibly tiring to ride. Without it, with a gradual power take up its a lot smoother ride. Or if you really pin it, as aggressive as you want.

I've been looking around trying to find this product in the USA, are there any dealers selling s3 stuff here that may have or be able to get one of the fw-638
flywheels ??
Thanks in advance.
