Anybody use these? what Size? What do u think of the results etc... ?

I got a 2008 ec 300 with the wires coming out @ the 10:00 position and was thinking about trying a 8oz flywheel weight and was just wondering what I could expect from that.
 
Just did a search and looks like a weight & a G2 throttle may be the ticket,but what size weight should I get ? any suggestions. is 12 too much ,8 not enough?
 
I have both a 10 and a 14 for my 250, G2 also. I mixed it up a lot but now run the 14 oz with the 200 cam almost all the time in the technical woods. What I found is with the G2, the weight is less important. Its all personal preference, fast guys generally like less especially in faster terrain.
 
found it from my similar thread

If that's not enough, my friend made a 22 oz flywheel weight for his bike. It was nearly impossible to stall with that, and it really was tractable at low rpm. It worked surprisingly well.

Seems like a g2 for sure.

Now what size FWW do I want. There seems to be a wide variety of preferences.

Is the stealthy worth the extra money. It says its bolt on no drilling neccessary
Do you have to drill & tap the gasgas weights?
 
I have an 06 300 that I run a steahly 10oz and g2 400 cam on. I might pick up a 14 oz just to try it. If you like snappy power go w/less weight, if you like a big lump of a motor go with more

Get the gasgas weight. No drilling or taping. Just bolts on and replaces the original nut.

I ended up breaking down and picking up a 14oz. fww. I am so glad I did. My bike runs great is much smoother and still has snap when I crack the throttle.

The only thing I'm thinking now is going to the 200 cam on the G2 instead of the 400.
 
Yeah, the 200 cam works great on he 250. I end to think the 300 will like the 400 cam as there is more snap off idle.
 
Wow , Thanks for all the great input . Its great to have a site like this !

Now has anybody ever had Their radiator patched? (the reason for the G2 & weight) bent mine a little and trying to straighten it I punctured it with the radiator guard bolt.

I know you can fix the leak ,but can they straighten the sides too or do I have to buy a new one if I want everything to line up good?
 
I was very glad I got my FWW (the heaviest 16oz I think) on my 300. I didn't notice any less power the big difference to me was climbing hills I could afford to shift and or come on/off the throttle without breaking traction when I got back on the power - a great help and the 300 still rips.
 
Your in the UK, so am I correct to assume you have a 2K-3 ignition? You added another 16oz? Wow, that must feel like a trials bike.

With a couple weights and a G2 with a few cams you can make the bike feel exactly like you want.

Yes, #300 cams are now available, the G2 guys just sent me one for my Ducati.

Yes it would be the heavier ignition. I was a bit apprehensive about getting the heaviest FWW but it didn't seem to slow the 300 down IMHO - still popped wheelies off the throttle as it did before - that was my concern I would loose that ability but it doesn't seem the case at all.

The only big difference was being smoother up hills i.e. getting off and on the power without the bike slowing too much or spinning the rear getting on the power - so all good!
 
One quick question. Getting ready to do this . any Ideas on what to use to hold the flywheel while I loosen the nut? Do I need a special tool ?
