Flywheel for 2010 RTS not present

[Sopher]

So I was on a site that had the 2010 parts list and diagrams for all Spyders. Specifically the 2010 sheets do show :
[TABLE="class: cart_table"]
[TR="class: fitment_me_802385"]
[TD="class: alt numbers"]2b[/TD]
[TD="class: item_cel orange_link part_name"]Flywheel [/TD]
[TD="class: alt numbers"]705501250[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD="class: alt"]1[/TD]
[TD="class: was_price"] [/TD]
[TD="class: alt"]$71.54[/TD]
[/TR]
[TR="class: fitment_me_802386"]
[TD="class: alt numbers"]2c[/TD]
[TD="class: item_cel orange_link part_name"]Socket Screw M8 X 40, Scotch Grip [/TD]
[TD="class: alt numbers"]205884046[/TD]
[TD][/TD]
[TD="class: alt"]6[/TD]
[TD="class: was_price"] [/TD]
[TD="class: alt"]$1.79[/TD]
[/TR]
[/TABLE]

But my bike does not have this.

I asked my dealer about it and they said that it was not needed. This was last year sometime.

I have heard that the flywheel reduces vibration.
Input anyone?

The manual clutch 2010 RTs did not have the flywheel...at least not the early ones. My 2010 PE did not.

 

[Sopher]

Then why would later ones have it? Yea I know production lines change and all, but if the newer ones have it, why would mine be a candiate for it?

 

[NancysToy]

The older ones can't get it without additional changes, including changes to the clutch. Lamont and Doc looked into it, and it was impractical.

 

[SPYDERPOPS]

There were two standard shift RT's sold in Arkansas and they did not have the balancers. They were set-up with tapped holes but were not there.

After the owners complained about vibration the dealer ordered and installed the balancers and the problem was solved.

The funny part was another one built about the same time had it. This was discovered after one of the owners without took a ride on the one with the balancer. He was not happy and they took care of it.

My pulley did have the holes and was taped, took to dealer and complained about vibration and he ordered a balancer. all is well now. 2010 rt standard shift.

You can bolt the counter weight on the outside of your pulley but without changing the inside parts you're setting yourself op for trouble down the road. There's a reason the other parts were designed to go with the counter weight.
