removing magnets from an sv1000 flywheel

[@stanza77]

Thanks for the vid. Hey, any particular advantage or disadvantages of the fat vs thinner flywheel design?

[@Mad8vCycles]

weight. lighter flywheels let motors spin up quicker.

[@Moriartijs]

Kind of worried that this would demagnetise magnets. How hot does it gets?

[@Mad8vCycles]

@@Moriartijs not hot enough. I used a gauss meter to check at some point a while ago

[@maxello1861]

just got a sv650n (2004) did an oil change and brake fluid change, aswell as chain maintenance, it has ~20k miles on it, should i do this on it aswell or is this a specific SV1000 thing to do? anything else you'd recommend me do?

[@sovietsuperfuel]

Couldn't you use a butane torch and heat the flywheel up from the outside?

[@Mad8vCycles]

uneven heat could cause magnets to crack. so no. you dont want to do that.

[@champcat5931]

The magnets on my 02 sv650 came off by themselves inside the engine lol

[@Mad8vCycles]

thats a bit unusual. 650s dont tend to have the flywheel epoxy problem

@@Mad8vCycles yeah i didn't expect to see that when I popped my stator cover off. But replacing the magneto and stator fixed it
