I recommend lightening a stock one, but folks will have different opinions. http://www.ehow.com/way_6183879_motorcycle-flywheel-removal.html |

nope never had any experience with clutch work, but I would like to learn (I love mechanics)- I probably should buy some sort of Ducati DIY manual.

LT Snyder is probably the most approachable DIY publisher. |

I recently had a stock flywheel lightened by a member of the board, who did an incredible job. And, because I cant afford to fix big mistakes, I had a Ducati mechanic install it.
I was/am extremely pleased with the changes to the ride. One thing I have found, however, is that my bike will sometimes stall at idle. I think this has something to do with the reduced mass of the flywheel not having enough inertia....and it can be corrected...when I get around to it.

you have to adjust your idle just a bit higher. for my 696 stock idle is 1200rpm with the ergal flywheel I have it set at 1300rpm and have no stalling issues. and it's a dream to downshift and match revs  |

Well it sounds like you guys are pleased with the results and I definitely like the fact that "it's a dream to downshift and match revs". Since I do not have all the necessary tools to install one and set the idle to 1300rpm I will have to first buy one or like you said Herm have the stock one lightened and then bring it in to the dealer.
