well when you take a lot of material off of anything metal you risk the chance of it becoming to weak under strong load or in this case spinning. i bet those shrapnel peices would feel nice when the docs picking em out with a tweezer :lol:

flywheels are dangerous! were were on the dyno once with my friends drag bike, no flywheel cover on because he just changed the timing. Well, 13,000 rpm later the flywheel decided to come off and we were stuck in the enclosed dyno room! After it hovered for a second, it decided to hit the ground then hit my buddy in the shin.



After recovering from a fractured leg he only has a nasty scar!

Because dynos do put a load on a motor. A single wheel dyno usually has a 450lbs drum. Lightening the flywheel wont add horsepower, it will allow the bike to rev quicker, and YOU CAN see that on the dyno.[/quote]



Your both correct, sort of.. I think y'all are talking about two different things though..



An 'inertia' only dynamometer does put a load on the engine but only through out the sweep of RPMs, from low to high, your not able to load the engine down or hold at any specific rpm.. it's a sweep or drag test only.



A dyno with a 'load cell' I.E.. an eddy current(eletric) or water/oil braked dyno will put a load on an engine that can be held at a specific rpm and can recreate passing a car or riding up a moutain range... This allows you to diagnose part throttle rich/lean conditions or driveability issues which you cannot do with a free spinning drum.



So would you be able to see the lightened flywheel on an inertia dyno? Probably.. if you looked at the rpm vs time graph. It'll spin up quicker.
