Ok I've posted before that i broke my flywheels and was wonder what the best replacement would be. Basically what stock buell flywheel is the lightest and will work with the M2? | ||

I suggest dropping down a tooth to the 26. Will add some torque and off the line power. Though it will cost you a little at the top end and your highway rpm's will be a little higher. They come in aluminum and steel. The lightness of the aluminum comes at a price, will wear out faster. American Sport Bike has both. You can also find stock wheels in the DS Fatbook. | ||

Lizard..I think he's asking about flywheels in the engine, not belt sprockets... | ||

I apologize i was talking about the crank. My dad is a harley man and he calls them flywheels. And i just want to know what stock buell crank is the lightest and will fit in the M2. I want to go with a harley part because my dad gets the parts at cost plus 10%. | ||

2000-2002 pressed cranks are the best. The bearing race on one case half needs machining but that's the extent of it. It's the lightest and strongest available from Buell. I'm on the same boat myself. | ||

To add more specifics to what Rick said ... 2000-2002 X1 cranks ... straight crank pin as opposed to tapered - more durable and starts off a tad lighter as well .. And as Rick said - just a little machining on one half and it's good to go .. I am putting this same crank in my S1 due to connecting rod issues .. but I am also lightening it a few pounds ... | ||

What kind of machining are you talking about? Like a die grinder or a dremel? And what exactly has to be machined and why? (Message edited by jake99buell on October 12, 2007) | ||

.085" needs machined off the right crankcase half bearing race/boss. | ||

Just for kicks, take a look at the S&S knife edged flywheels for buells. 4 lbs lighter than stock. | ||

Save your money, work overtime and spring for the S&S. Nice piece of work. I'll probably be going that way myself when I build my motor. Gonna try the xb9 cylinders and head trick I heard of here on badweb. Good luck, best wishes. |
