A Flywheel Weight adds additional mass to the rotating crank assembly that
serves to dampen the power pulses. This makes the motorcycle's engine more
tractable and the bike easier to control.
This weight was patterned after the Beamish weight but is
made from larger diameter stock and is a bit heavier. To allow clearance
for
the weight a small tab inside the Magneto Cover must be removed.
This requires only grasping
the small tab with a pair of pliers and breaking it off with
a sideways movement. Other than the removal of this tab, the flywheel weight fits
comfortably inside the Magneto Cover. Three Allen head screws are included to
attach the weight to the flywheel. No drilling is required.
Brass is about
15%
heavier than cast iron. While it is
certainly a more pleasant machining experience to cut brass weights, the brass blanks
are about 10 times the cost of cast iron blanks.
