I'm not sure how much weight was taken off the flywheel, I plan on weighing
it when I swap it over to the 750 motor. The lighter flywheel helps the motor
spin quicker, thus helps with acceleration (Walt's flywheel is lightened as
well). One noticeable drawback to the lighter flywheel is that without the
mass of a heavy flywheel, engine braking is much more pronounced. I have to
be really on top of my downshifting as I have gotten the bike seriously
sideway trying to slow down for turns.
