Kämna worked fine on both M900 & 907IE
for thousands of miles. Aluminum lIRC.
ALWAYS clean threads, check washers behind
and correct Loctite & torque = no problems.
M900 -97 
MTS 1100s  -07

Do this...



What you see here is two stock flywheels, before and after. Approx 2 pounds removed, and a polished work of art too!

Contact board member Monsterlover. He's the man!

Hey!  I remember doing that!

2011?

Thanks for the kind words.

Unless you are trying for the absolute minimum weight The lightened steel wins every time. I have seen about every brand of aluminum fail at one time and if done in steel you will never lose the splines. So for me from a reliability standpoint steel should be 100% as long as you install it correctly.

Of the aluminum I do feel the Nichols are as good as it gets but some times they are too light for me. I use the yoyodyne because it is about the same weight as the lightened steel if I need an aluminum but my preference is almost always lightened steel.

I did just have an aluminum one  balanced and it was out quite a bit so keep that in mind as well. Every one is different in what they are looking for weight wise so keep that in mind I have some who like the st flywheels that are about 6lbs and last winter I built a vintage racer with no flywheel at all so to each his own.

Making sure we dont compare apples to oranges there are the bolt on carbie flywheels verses the spline flywheels. It seems the former in alloy form are not at risk like the alloy spline version. MPL make a lightened steel spline version if you want to keep your stocker. I saw a stainless spline version by SSR too, anyone know about these?

I have not run across them but for me it is a non-issue. it is easier to get a machinist like monsterlover to turn down what you have and the reliability is 100% while cost is about 1/2 of aftermarket.

Unless you are going for the maximum weight loss in which Nichols seems to be the one.

There's a DP flywheel on eBay here in America.

it doesn't look to be a "dp lightened"  . . . looks very much like my OEM std one . .

It also doesn't look "new, opened box". It looks "used, but half ass attempt at cleaning".
