Just wanted to see if anyone has feedback on flywheel weights for the 16+ KX450F. I'm a moto-only B-rider, but I feel like my bike stalls extremely easily during braking, or sometimes when lugging a high gear out of a corner in a low-traction situation.
I have the idle turned up pretty high to fight this, but I still stall more than I would like to admit!
I've never used a flywheel weight before, but I see steahly offers a bonded weight, where kawasaki offers an optional OEM bolt-on weight. I'm a little worried about gluing on a weight that can spin over 11k RPM, but the Kawi part (21007-0629) is almost $400.
Anyone have experience with either?

I slip the clutch a lot and keep the bike in the power in normal corners, but on slick hard pack when I'm searching for traction and am lugging the bike I tend to stall.

Did you upgrade to a GET or just remap the stock ECU?
I say try the weight and see if it helps. Just wanted to try saving the money if its a technique thing.
