2 stoke guys, thoughts on flywheel weights?

[STORMY]

I've been running my woods bike (2000 cr250) with a St kit on it. The bike is setup good for summer with a weight on it. I don't run one on my moto bike (2007 cr250) and I like both for what they are used for but just curious on your thoughts from guys with more experience on the snow. I was thinking about ditching it for quicker revs?

Also, since I got you here. From my research I see alot of Ktm guys building/tuning for good mid to top power for snow but using low end pipes, PC platinum 2/FMF gnarly. I'm running a FMF gnarly since it's my woods bike, but curious if a little more top end would be better?

Thanks!

I would say yes and yes. Lose weight and topend pipe.

I agree with chum

the track system creates so much rotating weight, more fly wheel weight is unnecessary. On my YZ 250, the low end pipe was my preference, more times going through the trees boondocking and trail riding where low end and mid are nice.

I run a 01 cr250 engine (same as your 00) in a gen3 frame, with a 129". I prefer no fly wheel weight and topend pipe.
