SX/SXi/SXi Pro should I have my flywheel lightened?

It will not give a significant improvement. Maybe 1/100th of what adding a pipe would do.

No, I stopped throwing money into my SXIPro and sold it to buy an SJ. The SJ is way more fun.

I noticed a decent gain when I went to a jetnetics aluminum flywheel. never tried a stocker lightened.
Do you think I'd be better off lookin towards a lower pitched prop then? Like everyone else I'm just lookin for a little more low end without spending big bucks. Right now I have a coffman's rocket pipe, dual cdkII's and a 15 18 skat
And as for buying an SJ. I haven't seen any for sale for $500 like I bought this 750 for... with a parts ski and trailer

I think a flywheel is one of those parts you do after you've done all the other stuff first. a big hub 9/17 would probably show you more gains at this point.
Yea I've been lookin for a 9/17 big hub for a while now, but no one is really selling. I was thinking bout just getting a stock sxr prop for this summer and then having it repitched next year, but I didn't know if I'd see a big gain without the prop repitched. I could also get a stock sxipro prop for cheap which I think is a 9/17 small hub, but then I'd probably still want a big hub in the future.
Thanks for the info on the flywheel I'll def hold off on just having it lightened unless I come across a cheap sxr cdi to do the poor man total loss with by removing magnets also.

I had a solas 12/18 and switched to a small hub 9/17 and didnt like it due to cavitation. I also did a lot of motor work at the same time though. If you cant find a 9/17 a 13/18 big hub will probably work fine too. it will also allow for more HP without having to change props in the future
Yea thats what I was afraid of going to a 9/17 (small hub). I'll probably end up getting a stock sxr because of price and availability.
Are you running a bored nozzle on your setup? I was thinking about swapping nozzles with my 650 if that added some low end like people say

I had a bored nozzle but switched to a 650 nozzle and had better results.
