when you install a lightened flywheel you lose the ablitly to store energy not lose torque i called fidenza and talked to a rep the way he put it take a 6 pound bowling ball and then a 18 pound bowling ball throw them from the same distance the out come at the end when the ball strikes somthing will be differant his example was a bowing ball and pins he said he get this question a lot we custumers can not spin or curp 2nd hope this helps

8lb flywheel is too light. i run the 11lb. You lose too many rpms between shifts if your flywheel is too light.

I woulnd't really get a lighter flywheel unless I was having problems with wheelspin.
So if you have traction problems get a lightweight flywheel?

+1....I went from a stock flywheel to a light one and I hated it...Seemed like I was short shifting cause the motor would kinda bog between gears..I liked stock better..
