Cr250 clutch wieghts
Running a 2001 cr250 ignition with flywheel and wondered if flywheel weights would have the same benefit on the cr500 as it would on the cr 250?
What do you mean? Would additional weight to a CR250 flywheel have the same effect as a FWW on a CR500?
...why wouldn't it? Reciprocating mass is just that...it can't discriminate between ignitions. Now call the residual effects a benefit or not is your choice. I think to a large degree FWWs are highly unnecessary.
And what does this have to do with clutch weight(s)?

Nothing to do with clutch weights typo on the title, sorry. I just wondered if there would be a point because the stock cr500 flywheel is larger and weighs more giving it more rotating mass. The size and weight of the cr250 flywheel is preferred but would distributing the mass differently with weights give any noticeable performance gains?
have you been for a ride with it as is? If not it may surprise you, you might like it. I put a PVL ignition on my 490 maico that has a flywheel 1/2 the weight of the stock motoplat, thought I would hate it but I actually like the way it responds to throttle now, much snappier and still pulls stumps.

The weight of your flywheel would depend on the type of riding you want to do.
Some of the riding you do, you might be better off with a heavier flywheel.
Then other times you could do with less weight.
OEM flywheels are a good all around compromise, not the best in every situation.
Going with less weight will improve the performance sometimes and going with more will also improve it at other times.
Having less flywheel weight will make it easier to stall with to much rear brake pressure.
Having more flywheel weight will not be as easy to stall with the rear brake.
I am not saying one is better than the other, you would just have to adjust your riding / braking slightly to accomodate the change in weight.
Only you can tell what best suits you, try both if that is possible for you to do.
There is no right or wrong in this case, just what you like best.
Remember what someone else likes may not suit you.
Less weight will help the bike to accelerate faster and to slow down quicker.
More weight the opposite is the result.
