Just making my purchase list for the S2r1000 and I see a lot of people using lightened flywheels and few using actual aluminum flywheels...
it seems the aluminum are far lighter...is it just a cost issue or is there a down side to aluminum?
Just wanted to be sure I'm not missing anything?
Also, same principle to an aluminum clutch basket as the lightened flywheel?

Aren't the stock flywheels already aluminum?

I would go with a lightened stock flywheel.

Some aluminum flywheels had issues with the splines.
The lightened stockers are bullet proof, plenty light, and less expensive.

They might be aluminum. I just have been reading about those people selling lightened stock flywheels for @ 75.00 and full aluminum that weigh under a pound (or whatever it is) for $200-300.00...
Whats the difference other than $125.00+?

The super light ones, like Nichols can be finicky in a street application.

Ahh. DIdnt know that. The local shop said they do em for $75. They send em out to get milled and all. I have read that they are not a good idea for street bikes. Is it really a beneficial mod? Kinda like the crankcase breather mod... |

Thats what I was after...It is a street bike...might be forced to a couple company sponsored track days, but a street bike for its life. I think a Ben Fox lightened flywheel is in my future when I get the HP pistons  I'd love to hear if anyone else has any words of wisdom or experience with Aluminum though... |

You should spend the extra money. The company that sells them has a really expensive state of the art website.  |

It could be a matter of perspective.
The nichols flywheel and high comp pistons made a huge difference in both throttle response and engine braking on my 750.
I liked the new found life it gave the old gal.
But it also made it very touchy in stop and go traffic.(aka: downside)
Wrist control is an art form in it's own right.

A lightened stock flywheel would have given you the same response, without the around town issues you ran into.  |

I'm in 100% agreement with you on that. Except that you can't lighten a stock steel one down to 9oz. Which in hindsight is a bit much with the gearing changes i made. Down 1 on front and up 2 in the rear.
For mountain runs and off the line it's awesome for a 750, but yeah city riding can be some major suckage. And top end suffered about 20 mph. Gets there plenty fast, but long rides at high rpms are hard on it. I'm seriuosly considering going back to 15 teeth up front.
Should still have plenty of balls but probably will never make a track bike.
