well my suggestion is to buy an after market light fly wheel, the reason why is they were designed to be light and durable... with the oem one they weren't engineered to be light ... however if you wanna do the lightening I'd say 5 pounds... the more you take off the less dependable it will be.

I would not suggest removing 10lbs from a stock flywheel...that is getting silly.

5lbs and you'll have a nice little upgrade for a few hunfred bucks.

Leitner Performance al the way...they did mine and it was/is flawless.
