Flywheel weights for CRF150R's

[crfchick]

Just wondering if anyone has a flywheel weight (9 oz) for a CRF150RB that they no longer need or want please?
Much appreciated! Thanks!

I'm guessing she's stalling it too easy. It's designed for mx, not trail ridding so much. so you'll have to use the clutch to distribute the power a fair bit at low revs, it's a mx bike not a tractor, rape the balls off it.

I dunno Rupe,i want to put a wieght on my 450 for those same reasons, could try rapin the balls off it, but i think the opposite would happen.

[telliman]

im obviously underestamating the power of the big 150

Think she came from a crf230 which you can just sit on and ride like it's a tractor. the crf150r is a full on mx bike which will be a lot different to ride and is probably stalling at low revs were the 230 wasn't. Then she has to kick start it which if the bike is new she is probably not got the nack of yet (every one is diff), and this will piss her off. a 150r will have to be clutched a fair bit and revs kept up a bit like a 125cc 2stroke, this will require a more aggresive style (hence raping the balls off it). This is not a bad thing though as it will teach the ridder to rride quicker and more aggresive. I wasn't saying a 150 was too powerful just might need a different riding aproach to a 230.

If your 450 needs a flywheel it's maybe the wrong bike for what your using it for anyway???

Then there shouldnt be a market for stelthy then should there?

[telliman]

so a weight wouldnt be hard on the engine? 150 that is.

[Pornstar]

not at all

when I went from the DR350 to the RMZ I was stalling it out alot, but after posting up a thread on here about trail riding an MX bike, and the advice I got really helped, I decided to for go the Flywheel weight, and just change the way i rode it (hence raping the balls off it) worked for me.

Its all about customising the bike for you, Essentially she is making a CRF 150X, which honda dont make.

[vr4king]

Ive just gone from 125 2smoke to a 250f and im soooo glad i had the 125 now,Its taught me how to ride out of almost anything

[Rupe]

Of course there is a market for it, but it's not a magic fix. A change in riding style is going to be needed to go from a crf230 to a crf150r, flywheel weight or not, and thats not because of how much power the bike puts out.

[motor_mayhem]

I stalled mine the first time I rode it but as with any bike, ride it for a bit and you get used to it.

[buffstar]

dosnt sound like they have one mate :laugh:

:jerry: :jerry:

[4stroke]

i used to ride my crf450r7 in the real tirght snoty stuff, never really had much of a problem with it stalling, some of the stuff i used to play in was 1st gear in tight trees.

Yep you're right! Basically I'm just trying to smooth out the power a bit esp in the low geared stuff. It's not so much stalling it, its more launching the bike when I take off and me flying off the back! I know I have a lot to learn but think this bike is going to teach me heaps, where as I could get away with murder on the 230! Apart from that I am loving this bike, so light and nimble!

Oooh, I will have a look for this thread Oldguy, sounds intriguing

Here it is,for the record i put a heavier flywheel on my 08KXF250 and it worked well,made it alot more trail friendly

Yep, same here. Im use to riding motorbikes but stalled mine a few times when i first got it, first seemed like it was impossible to not stall it.

It took a while to get use to it and everyone of my mates kept giving me crap because i kept stalling.

Tables turned when they all had a go and everyone of them stalled it more then once! ahaha!

At least i learnt how to kick it over good and proper first kick with all my stalling lol! :Punk:

Awesome! Thanks for that!

I am sure you will benefit from one, money well spent.

I concur, put weights in both chias and my 250s, heaps better for trails and tight stuff..

[L Rider]

At the wknd i did my 1st farm trail ride which was greasy as in the morn. My gearing is higher than standard which generally i like but found on the greasy grass the rear wheel would spin on slight rises & some grass hills i'd end up stalling part way up (this was later when dry). Big part is i'm learning & don't have good clutch control. I've ridden a CR80 with Std gearing & found it too low.
Looking at options now. Could make gearing inbetween std & what mine is now, or just learn to ride harder, or have 2 sets of sprockets & change depending on the ride or there's flywheel weight which i know stuff all about.
Would a flywheel weight on a CR80 make much difference?
Suggestions people??? I don't really know much about these things.

[Pornstar]

A weighted flywheel effects the power delivery by slowing the rate at which the revs build, thus smoothing the power, what you want for slippy stuff. also the exta inertia of the spinning weight means it will resist stalling better. I had one on a CR 250, it turned it into a tractor, easy topull low revs witm max traction.

Would it have much effect on a CR 80? Would I be better to lower the gearing slightly? the CR80 i was riding with has std gearing & didn't have the problem i did. On the open stuff i love the gearing as is

[Pornstar]

Im not even sure if they make one for a cr80, you may be better to try a diffrent bike, like a 230 or 140

Yes one would work good for what you want, as i posted earlier contact John at xtreme wholesale, it would also be worth speaking with midget85 i think she has a flywheel weight on her kx85

Cheers for that - forgot she had one on hers:doh:

Hey there! Flywheel weight definitely has made a difference to the 85! I don't stall it at all. I also turned the idle up a little more than normal and it's awesome! Also put the shorty muffler and different pipe to smooth it out! Doesn't give that big hit!

[B0000M]

got a weight on the mrs's cr85, makes a good difference, also in 2 stroke theory, a longer muffler will increase low end power and a short one will increase top end

Cool. i don't find i stall it that often anymore, jst found on the wet greasy grass & wet clay that even the littlest rise it would just wheel spin & not get any traction. That "hit" i love which is why i haven't gone down to standard gearing. When i first got it (first bike i've ever ridden) i use to find it hard going but kept trying - now i love the challenge but at times think maybe i do need to tone it down a bit.
John is currently away but when he gets back in April I'll get him to look into what to do or not do.

Might be a silly question but have you got a decent rear tyre(causing loss of traction).....can make a big difference,one of the boys at Glen Murray was complaining about it being greasy and slippery while others loved it....on inspection of his bike we were like "no wonder your stuggling man your rear tyre is f**ked"........

yip got 2 pretty much brand new tyres. Can't remember exactly what (hubby knows those details lol) but they are good tyres.

1st time i've ridden in those conditions so alot will no doubt be me. Maybe i should ride in those conditions more to get a 'true' idea.
