250-500cc Wr 250 fww

Does the 250 come with a Fly Wheel Weight, if not has anyone tried one?

pretty much no bike comes with a flywheel weight. they may come with a heavier or lighter flywheel, depending on intended use, but a 'flywheel weight' refers to an additional weight added to the stock flywheel to make it behave just like a heavier flywheel.

I have put additional weights on mx bikes, but I personally don't see much use to it on a wr. they already seem pretty tractable down low and don't seem to spool up so fast that traction is hard to find.

2t: mx'ers usually have an inner-rotor magneto. there is no flywheel. off-roaders usually have an outer-rotor mag, with a bowl that has mangets in it that covers the coils. this has more mass in it by design and carries more magents for lighting etc... which in turn gives the engine more "flywheel effect" as a result.

Steahly does make a 10oz. fww for the WR, I have one on my WR250. Most guys seem to feel like the WR doesn't need a fww, but I really like the way it affects the bike for super rocky technical riding. Brad.

The weight also helps with better starting, but make sure you spot weld it on, there have bee know to work loose

i like a lot of flywheel effect too... really helps in the chugga chugga parts.

All depends what you ride, flat out or the wood tight turns

The stock 2k3 ignition is very heavy. If anything I always felt the WR could use a little less weight. But some like more weight than stock.

I run the Stealy on my 08 250.

Lets you chug through ugly areas, and slap the clutch on the other side and your gone!

I had one on my WR 250 and took it off when I installed the Rekluse Pro. The auto clutch tends to have the same effect and you don't have to worry about stalling. On my 360 the combination of a Flywheel weight, EFM auto clutch, and a 400 cam G-2 throttle has made it a joy to ride. Large mounds of mellow torque yet enough snap to loft the front over obstacles.

PS, After a few sudgestions from Kelly, (nice fat bar for vibration, stiffened up front(42 vs 40 springs) and rear with a better pre-load setting) The 360 is pretty awsome.

Kelly,

Putting the stiffer springs in the front and setting the sag on the rear to 100 mm instead of the 140 it was at made a huge difference. Rides much higher in the stroke and yet is still plush. The high woods bend Pro Taper EVO's definitely helped the vibration. Thanks for the advice.
