Installing a lightweight flywheel - 4/12/2006 1:21:55 AM    yamahonda06   Posts: 8 Joined: 1/8/2006 Status: offline hey guys, I just got a xtd lightweight flywheel for my 90 ex. I put the new one on, and it lines up and everything but it has a little play in it. In between the bolts and flywheel, will this little amount of play mess anything up, or throw anything off balance? Post #: 1

Even a tiny amount of play will give you lots of touble, so you'll need to figure out what's going on... (in reply to lightshow) Post #: 3

If that thing broke at say 6000 rpms it'd send chunks threw your firewall easy.... (in reply to mbo1985) Post #: 4

It has enough play to make a clunking noise back and forth. It lines up fine and everything, i dont know whats wrong. I didn't put anything back together yet, i just wanted to figure this out first.
