I Added An 11oz Flywheel Weight To My YZ250... Here's What Changed

Is a flywheel weight actually worth it on a YZ250 for trail riding? I installed an 11-ounce flywheel weight on my 2004 YZ250 and compared it to the stock setup to see what really changed. In this video, I cover: • How a flywheel weight affects power delivery • Whether it reduces stalling • If it improves traction on slippery trails • How it changes low-RPM lugging ability • Who should use an 11oz flywheel weight • Whether I'd do it again My biggest takeaway? The bike didn't make more power, but it became smoother, easier to control, and noticeably more forgiving in technical terrain.
