At this stage of the game, none of this has anything to do with need. It’s all about want!  Evil

Well, you're not wrong.

I was just thinking I should cut the flywheel and all the gears on the right side.

Really loving this thread. One of the most beautiful bikes ever made. I miss my 92 SL900 (#173). It now has a blueprinted 90hp 944 hi comp motor with FCR39's, Ti valves, 900ie cams, light flywheel, etc.

It's great that you can easily do it in house. If hi compression pistons are in the bikes future, then only take a little off the flywheel, say 500g, but if you don't plan on increasing compression you can go more closer to removing 750-1000g. If you take enough off the primary and timing gears and clutch you might be happy close to stock flywheel. I did a lot of testing with flywheels and there is a limit to how light you can go with hi comp and no slipper clutch. There's also personal preference and ones middle ear tolerance for resonance, but you're young and strong. When I was younger I removed flywheel mass and as I got older I put it back Grin

Why? 

That question applies to your comment about-

Adding mass
Resonance
High comp with light fw no good
Etc

Some front end damage from a tip over. Or a very mild hit. Other than some scrapes on the fairings and one mirror it's pretty decent.

I think I was also told it was fogged and drained before it was parked on stands. Fuel tap under the tank wasn't shut off. Carbs probably need more than the float bowls cleaned.

Fcr decision probably needs to happen now. I had to force the throttle grip open and closed it's so gunky. Seems to be loosening up as I work it. I don't think it's the grip or the cables, I think it's the carb itself that's sticking.

How should I go about cleaning out the tank?

Yes, true. Just laying some possible paths for your consideration. My enthusiasm about this bike is tied to nostalgia about my old Superlight. The answers are in the engine characteristics you want for how you intend to ride it, engine braking, smoothness, etc.

There's an FE over here and they're asking 13-14k . I'll be eagerly watching this thread from a stage four lockdown. Cheers.

Is it rusty?
