Do a lot of very tight/rough trails, 12/43 gearing is helping, anybody heard of a flywheel weight for these little beasts?

Could you weigh it for us and put it in the weight sticky?

I keep hoping someone's going to have one off and take pictures and weigh it so we can look at options, but so far no one has. You could boldly go where no man (or fish or wolf) has gone before!
FWIW I've had them made for various jap singles over the years, usually just a steel 'ring' shrunk onto the oem flywheel .. . . but that was on bikes with some space to fill between the case & oem item .. . . without taking the cover off my WR2 for a looksee, & judging by the outside diameter of the case over the flywheel end, there isnt going to be enough clearance to make it worth the ffort .. . . .sorry .. . .
Havent taken the clutch out yet but sometimes you can replace aluminum friction discs with steel friction discs and get the heaver flywheel effect... Used to do that on the Honda CR's but I bet the WR already has steel discs in it because the CR's would contaminate the oil pretty quick with the stock aluminum ones...
