so I'm interested in making a permanent fix for flywheel magnets i have a k3 and would like to lighten and balanced the flywheel at the same time any ideas on the best way to go about this or how to capsulate the magnets would be great
Yeah, wasn't a fan of that adding metal idea, increases the weight of the rotor, and unless its a press fit, the magnets can still vibe themselves free of the rotor.....If i remeber corretly the forum member Jumjum went a little overboard and sort of did what you are describing.
He lightened the flywheel and welded some stocks into place which acted as pockets for the magnets............
Dont know what has happened with the Sharealike guy, hop eits not health related.....nobody has had replies from them for a long time.... WERKS Parts in the USA are your only go really.im not knowledgeable enough skilful or own the machines so ill be getting the work done i have been trying to call sharealike to maybe do it as i am after a clutch basket also but no answer
i am looking into the newer dl1000 flywheels also and if they can be modified to fit sv
I have a late model DL rotor on my current bike. Crank end are different size so I just swapped in a 14 DL1000 crank. I lightened it a whole bunch.im not knowledgeable enough skilful or own the machines so ill be getting the work done i have been trying to call sharealike to maybe do it as i am after a clutch basket also but no answer

Not sure the 650 had the same issue with the magnets.....but they are stuck now.....clean it up well ... And wow that flywheel is very thin.....Hi I have a gen 1 sv650 and I turned the flywheel down to lighten it and I did it without removing the magnets the after machining. got worried after reading that it was a age thing that the standard magnet glue starts to let go.
The magnets can slide around affecting the charging and throwing the fly wheel out of balance.
I should have removed the magnets and re-glued them with jbweld, instead after machining coated all round the magnets and filled the gap between the magnets.
I am happy with my results and I know those magnets are going no where.
the 1 thing I would change is I used the jb weld with added steel and surprize it really have steel in it, and it keep changing shape to look like the magnetic fields, requiring me to keep massaging it back in place creating a untidy glue job.
So use the jbweld without steel.
Before removing magnets scribe round them and right numbers on the magnets both ends 1-12 if 6 magnets. and take pictures. I look at the pictures now and think I should have turned down the starter clutch a bit more.
Yes I cleaned it up and balanced it using a bearing on a shaft mounted in a vice. Its been on the bike over a year, full revs often and still going. Its a faction thicker than full race items I have seen on the net, I zoomed pictures on the net to work out what should be a safe amount to machine off.Not sure the 650 had the same issue with the magnets.....but they are stuck now.....clean it up well ...

interesting so can this be fitted to an svI have a late model DL rotor on my current bike. Crank end are different size so I just swapped in a 14 DL1000 crank. I lightened it a whole bunch.
I thought I updated topic here with those pictures.

He said he had to put a 2014 DL1000 crankshaft into his motor.....the DL rotor wont fit the SV crankinteresting so can this be fitted to an sv
