V-Twin Flywheels: Why Should You Upgrade Your Flywheel?
How does a Flywheel Impact on my Bike’s Power Build?
The flywheel plays a crucial role in your bike’s power build by ensuring precision and engine balance. Even slight misalignments can create significant mechanical issues over time. OEM flywheels often lack the precision engineering and highest quality materials required to meet the demands of a modified high horsepower build. Keeping your stock flywheel can result in reliability issues and even engine failures when it’s put under more strain than it was designed for.
Note: Watch this video “Why Do Harley Flywheels Twist?” for more info on this.
Upgrading to a much stronger high-quality S&S Flywheel will help maintain the exact tolerances necessary in power builds, ensuring better performance, durability, and smoother power delivery throughout the engine’s lifecycle.
S&S Flywheels for Harley-Davidson® Engines
S&S have been designing and manufacturing performance parts for V-Twin engines since the late ’50s. S&S have invested 60+ Years focused on producing high-performance parts that add strength & durability to Harley-Davidson® engines.
An S&S Flywheel is dynamically balanced using state of the art machinery and leaves their facility trued to perfection, ready to install. Using higher-grade materials and higher quality bearings to dramatically reduce the likelihood of twisting, to ensure smoother-running & producing the maximum output from your motorcycle’s engine.
Do You Need This Upgrade?
If you’re modifying your engine for more Horsepower & Torque, then we highly recommend replacing your stock flywheel with an S&S Flywheel. Manufacturers design parts to meet the engineering requirements for the engines they sell… When you start adding Big Bore Kits and more Power Boosting Camshafts into your engine, you’re exceeding the upper limits of a stock flywheel.
There is an incredible amount of rotational torque being produced in your engine and your stock flywheel can start twisting. When a flywheel starts to fail it can do a massive amount of damage to the rest of your engine. Remove that risk by replacing it with an S&S Flywheel engineered to handle extreme power builds.
