23 ounce flywheel weights

On my quest for the perfect motorcycle that brings the best out of me I feel I should race my 04 200. I have been very happy so far, but with that said instead of the arm pulling power coming out of corners with the 300, the 200 punishes laziness and lack of flow but is very easy on the body and my times have improved nicely.

List in my mind of progression for a 300.

Jet it.

S3 fww

Send off forks and have them revalved

Carb mod rbd

Head mod.

When rebuilding set squish to Maximize torque. It's been 2 years but I believe that was only putting one thick gasket.

This is what I think the best bang for buck is if upgrading a 300 motor wise.

To your benefit, the estart does have a flywheel effect, not quite as profound as the 23 ozer, but I would bet more than the 8oz from 2t.

I would rather have the benefit of a 23oz FWW, then the benefit of an Estart that doesnt Estart :D

Just got in some flywheel weights from my friends at S3 in Girona, Spain. I must have used the conversion chart wrong as I thought they would be 8 ounce weights. I grabbed one and holy crap for big n heavy! 23 ounces!!!!:eek:

I really like mine as I have said before. I now can use the upper mid and top end in a controlled fashion on single track. Has anyone tried one of these on a 300 and actually took it off? I see people comment all the negatives of the extra weight but not from those who have tried it. Not trying to be smart but I think all the comments from true users have been positive. At 100 dollars it is also a good deal. The fastening system is also so simple. No set screws or jigs.
 
Here is a challenge, I will ship you my fww, and you send me $95. If you decide it's not worth it/doesn't do exactly what we say it does, ship it back and I will give you the $95 back. Snow is here and I can't ride it if I wanted to.
 
I haven't heard any negative comments.
Some clarification to the overall power character changes with the weight.
And some speculation on my part as far as effect on lower end wear and tear.
Ill own that.I assure you it is a reasonable consideratiion
Flywhel effect and modifications are an old issue,you wont be reinventing the wheel here.
If my post came off as negative input for that I apologize.May have ruffled a few feathers with the riding style comment.I stand by it and didn't mean it as an insult to anyone.Generally acknowledged in my realm.


I'm gonna play along here,you may be missing the obvious.
Anybody who feels the need to add flywheel weight to the bike,will be happy with the flywheel weight.

If you thnk you need it,you probably do. Any trade off that you have to make which sounds negligible in this case will be well worth the benefits.
Thats basic.
 
I just found the original package my flywheel weight came in from my dealer,(back in 06') it's says 14 oz. I wanted the biggest one I could buy at the time, makes things much easier in technical sections in my opinion. You have me curious now on just how much better another 9 oz. would be, I'm a thinkin' it would be the cats pajama's in a good ol' sloppy full-on mudder enduro.

Sweeper-- I don't quite follow or understand what you are trying to say here??
Are you saying yes to FWW? Or no?

It should fit any and all GasGas 250/300 from 2001 on. Any ignition. The only reason it doesn't fit the 200 is they have a different threaded crank.

You are correct based off this site.

In English it says this

I'm saying it isnt as simple a discussion as "hey I got one and its great,everyone else should have one too."

There are 8 pages of input on this topic.
Is it a must have item and evety 300 rider needs it ;lock the thread,no.

I sincerely doubt some of the more detailed information which will benefit a far larger scope of riders would be available.

And yes their will be some must haves.
The 300 is a particular beast.

Not everyone is a 300 rider.
Few are willing to give it up without a fight though.




For me no,I like my 300 as is.
I ride with people who would benefit from it though.
