Does anyone know about or tried a flywheel weight on a TRX? I have used them on my KX250's for years and love them. I'm looking to possibly put one on my TRX as I do alot of woods riding. Who makes them for the TRX? Advantage or disadvantage of a weight? All info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I do care about noise levels, but my overall concern is for the spark arrestor which is necessary for state/federal riding areas. Thanks duner929 for your input. All info is appreciated! BRAAAPP!!!
the fly weight might be what you like.I run 1 on my yz and its great.my kx was a grunt monster so i didn't put 1 on that.they will help a ton on the stalling for sure.has your r got the cr head gasket?that gives you more compression and helps a bunch in the low end.

A woods/mx pipe would be better than that fatty too. An esr 6, 7, PT race, PT 6, or CT mx would all be good choices.

Well thats my experiences on bikes swaping from one to the other. V-force's do good on Pv engines they really bring out that low end. But really arnt good on a non pv engine. A rad valve lets its rev out really good. But IMO all around the Pyramid is the best.

a V-force or Pyramid reed valve will help you on bottom to mid. Maby try and trade that Rad valve for one (i got a VF2 i might trade) The Rad valves pull good on top. The 36 Is good for the lowend power. Maby also look into shaving your head. That would help in the low RPM's too.

Yeah I figured Honda put a heavier flywheel on the ATC/TRX compared to the CR's. I'm looking to try and get a little more torque out of the engine and reduce stalling the motor at low rpm. Dont get me wrong.....my TRX runs excellent, I was just kicking around the thought of adding a weight if available.

I dont see a point, On the mx dirbikes its needed because the flywheels are so light, because they try and squeze as much power of them as they can. For the quads this is one of many ways they detuned them. They have a heavy boat anchor flywheel. Even for woods riding i woudnt add weight. get a diffrent pipe or porting.
