I wouldn’t attribute the stalling to the flywheel wheel weight, the added inertia will keep the motor going so more weight will equal less stalling on roots, rocks and technical. Same with starting off. Most people can’t discern the added weight for acceleration. Motocross riders use it often but don’t tell anyone. Another product that works amazing for taming fire breathing bikes is the G2 throttle cam. It smooths out your riding and really helps during a long 3-4 hr race when fatigue sets in.

Unscrew your red idle adjust screw and apply some grease or anti seize to the threads. It should make it screw in easier and possibly go further to raise the idle. Also be sure your TPS value is set at .40v with both red and yellow knobs unscrewed all the way to where they don’t affect the reading.

I'll be doing this as well as changing out the spring. Pretty sure the current spring maxes out on purpose - probably for some EU regulation bullcrap (similar to how TPIs had to hide it).

With the TX you might get the flame out feeling but not with the TE or XCW...those bikes grunt like crazy and never want to stall. The TX can be tuned in a super cool way, where the white map can be the exact (actually better) than stock TE and then your green map even better than the ripper the TX is now. TSP is the company I would go with or Jamie at Twisted is super good with the tunes as well. Excellent video with good info for sure!

Thanks! I definitely have the TSP upgrade on my radar.

Hi bud just bought the same bike last week coming off a te250i. Your initial video had me 2nd guessing with the explosiveness of the engine. Fitted a grey throttle cam I had laying around (suggestion from a comment) and the power delivery is totally manageable. Was in some slower speed stuff today and I need a little bit more responsiveness so going to try the black. Noticed you have the oem fitted white which is the most responsive. Maybe lift the idle a little if you have a problem stalling these things lug so low. Really don’t feel a need to add more rotating weight.

I had attempted to mess with the idle but either the dealer or factory had it maxed out already (suspicious). Tried both reducing and keeping it maxed but still stall occasionally going downhill with full clutch and brake tapping. Final mod (okay, maybe not final) will probably be a mapping kit, which I think might help since it feels rich at 1/4 throttle. As for the added weight, it was mostly for the under 5mph super technical riding; the slow down was a side benefit since I recently broke more bones 😅

What's your overall rating for this bike at Warner Valley/ Toquerville? I like a fast, powerful motor but is it too much for the rockier, technical sections?
@podpocalypse98173 ай бұрын
Great question. For parts of Warner, especially the east side and Sand Hallow, it will be amazing. You're right that the bike can be a handful in slower technical sections. If you switch to the white map (the slow bro mode), it changes it quite a bit and becomes more manageable. The forks are better than the previous gen, but still stiff for hard edges.

Can’t say I’ve ever felt a flywheel weight tame a bike down per say.

It's a weird mod, I've never seen an add-on have more mixed reviews and feedback.
