Is it a good idea to lighten my flywheel with a stroker motor? Who would you recommend to do it?

This is my opinion:
Do not lighten you flywheel with a stroker motor because with a stroker the motor will want to stall a little easier than stock. Lightening you flywheel will do the same thing. Either one of these by themselves is not bad but if you do both I think the motor will stall too easy.

With a stroker motor you will have a lot more power in the lower RPMs therefore you will not need or want the motor to rev as quick!

True. A lightened flywheel will allow the engine to rev quicker.

If you have an aggressive high-rpm camshaft, like a Stage 2, you obviously want your motor to reach the powerband as quickly as possible, so a lightened flywheel would be an advantage.

However, you have almost the opposite with a stroker motor. You are going to have lots of power and torque right off the bottom, and may not be able to rev as high, so a lightened flywheel doesn't gain you anything. However, like GNCCer said, it WILL make your bike stall more easily.

I wouldn't waste my money on it.

Ok, that is what I was wondering if it would help with the stroker. Thanks
