I'm a bit late coming in here and haven't read it all, but the engine's inability to pull air in when the throttle is closed is engine braking. The totla inertia of the motorcycle and rider is what is being braked. The flywheel inertia is smaller with a lighter flywheel and it spins really fast - it's on the fastest shaft. So the change in speed is great. the engine braking is noticably higher with a lightened flywheel.

Not only that, but you guys don't know snow. I often can't see over the snow in my back yard.

**** you dont know snow. I lived in Truckee!

 

Yeah, people in Truckee know snow, so you officially qualify.
I live in SLT and ski at Kirkwood, so people in Truckee got nothing on me!

 

Sorry not to add to this great thread about flywheel mods. But when I here people talk about snow, I MUST SPEAK UP

Dudes, I live in Canada....we invented that sh**

 

Canadian snow is different then American. Its yellowish and smells like the FRENCH BUAHAHAHA

AMERICA!

 

the northeast definitely has shitty weather and snow, whereas, we have 300 days of blue skies. But when it snows in the Sierra, it comes in massive quantities. Kirkwood has to use snow cats to clear the chair line, so the chairs can operate.

 

RCVTR, your answer is much more intelligent then Kardiac's !

BUHAHAHAHAHA.....;o)
