Shown in the picture on the left is a new flywheel
that has been matched balanced to the old one to
an out of balance of 114 grams at position 16 at 6
inches radius.
Before balancing the new flywheel was 121grams
at position 17. This difference of 7 grams at 6"
radius is the same as 42 pounds of force at 4000
RPM.
