I fitted one to a more or less standard engine. Only reason being that at the time I was doing the gearbox, so the clutch and fly only seemed fair to change.

no one has mentioned it gives better deceleration as well, I wouldn't say it gives a lose of torque, the only thing i am thinking is it may bog down easy from off the line like kitcars with motorbike engines, because bike engines tend not to have a flywheel at all or an extremely light one. then after that it accelerates faster, just try not to stall it and thats it.

isn't the x14xe flywheel lighter than the x16xe flywheel?
if you've got a x16xe why not put the 14xe's in?
