i have read from two different sources about the 99 /s-3 motor... one said that the 99 had a standard heavy flywheel and buell went to the lightened version in 2000.. the other said that the 99 was the first year for the lightened flywheel...which is correct? | ||

2000 and up had the lightened flywheel | ||

All S3s have lightened flywheels in comparison to S2 and Sportster motors, but they were lightened further in either 99 or 2000 (I thought it was 99, but Tom B may be correct). | ||

In 99 x-1 and s-3 which shared the same engine and were fuel injected. they were a change over the 98 models. but the fly wheels were lightened in 2000. part of the reason 2000 models have more recalls due to vibration related problems | ||

Am I right in assuming a lighter flywheel allows the motor to rev faster -- I remember guys with 2 stroke trail bikes would add heavier flywheels to get them to rev slower. |
