FAQ
1. What are the advantages of a lightweight flywheel?
A lightweight flywheel makes the engine spin up faster and slow down quicker. This gives the sensation of extra horsepower. Even though the bike won’t generate more power, it will get to the meat of the powerband faster. The bike will also turn over faster during starts due to less rotating mass.
2. What are the disadvantages of a lightweight flywheel?
Because there will be less rotating mass, you’ll have to slip the clutch a little more to get started. Some more engine vibration may be felt through to the frame, because the heavy stock flywheel also eliminates some vibration.
3. Is the flywheel easy to install?
The flywheel is relatively easy to install. In terms of difficulty, I’d rate it a 3 out of 5 (1 is changing the oil and a 5 is dropping the engine and pulling the heads). My book covers alternator cover removal and installation.
4. Will this flywheel fit my bike?
See the application chart above.
5. Who manufactures this flywheel?
The flywheel is manufactured by Nichols MFG.
6. How do I tell which model of flywheel I have?
Ducatis come in 2 different charging system setups – single phase and three phase. Single phase is indicated by 2 yellow wires exiting the alternator cover or entering the voltage regulator. Three phase has 3 yellow wires exiting the alternator cover. Another way of telling is by looking at the sight glass. Single phase covers have a flush sight glass while three phase have a protruding sight glass.
