The Centerforce kit includes a high inertia flywheel that helps maintain engine RPM in rough terrain. The Centerforce flywheel is a Billet Steel Flywheel that replaces the O.E. 33 lb. flywheel with a higher quality 50 lb. Billet Steel Flywheel. Centerforce has two different kits a Dual Friction part# (KDF379176) also a Centerforce II part# (KCFT379176). Both kits include High Inertia Flywheel, Pressure Plate, Disc, Alignment Tool, Pilot Bearing, Throw Out Bearing and Bolts. Both kits are direct bolt on replacement with a higher holding capacity for those big off road tires. I called Centerforce at 928-771-8422 to get this information.

See if you can get the clutch, pressure plate, TOB and pinion bearing only. Should be about $500. At least that was all I paid for my '07 (but OEM bearings; CF didn't have theirs out ATT).

I have always thought that a lighter flywheel was the way to go.

Any thoughts?

While this idea is good on paper, I haven't noticed an issue with a loss of RPM much at idle with the stock flywheel when hitting stuff on the trail... So I'm not sure it's something that needs changed at the cost of dynamics in the driveline....... Sorry for the run on.
