    Welding the piece back on will get you booted out of an offical rotax event. Not an issue if your running TAG.

    Word of experience: Once you break off a post and reweld it… The flywheel might be fine then but the stress on the clutch shoes from the breakdown is just a DNF waiting to happen (Cheerleader from the infield because of this very thing). My advice, use the rewelded one if you can’t afford it but get a new assembly once you can, use the fixed one for emergency parts. You’re on borrowed time…

    thanks for the advice everyone-I knew the welded routine already and have heard that it isnt the best solution. Dont need a DNF, however I wont be racing anytime soon-cant keep throwing money at issues that seem to never end! I cant afford the $350 right now-probrably not next month either. I was hoping to find a used/new spare flywheel that I could put my fresher shoes on. They only sell this as a whole assembly now and it is costly.
    Everyone please keep their ears open. Anthony might have one. I talked to Brad-he’ll sell me the flywheel seperately for $235-seems high to me?

    By the way-make sure that all of you Rotax owners put the $7 triangular clutch support plate on the posts. Tom Denin made me aware of this yesterday when mine broke. This is a part that Rotax came out with 2.5 years ago to solve this issue. It could save you $350! The springs and clips and rubber sleeves are sold as a kit and cost a ridiculous $27.

    thanks for the response…j

    Welcome to Rotax parts “bend over and I’ll take care of you” prices. That’s right for that little piece of metal!

    That triangle… I have mixed feelings about that. I went through 2-4 of them and then my flywheel broke. Just an FYI for you. Of course I’m at Masters weight and I know that has something to do with it.

    Better yet: You should see the Motori7 flywheel and clutch pads. Now that’s what I call beefy engineering! Lessons learned from a Rotax and improved!
