    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

    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!

    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.
