Default Lightweight FLYWHEEL with STOCK clutch?

Is it ok to get a lightweight Flywheel and stick with the stock clutch?

My stock clutch is in perfect condition and have no reason to swap it out... but I wanna get a lighter flywheel. Will this be ok?

don't think you should lighten your stock flywheel.. it'll throw off the balance and it wasn't engineered to have material removed from it, therefore, structural integrity of the disk might be jeopardized.

You can remove weight safely, its just a matter of how much and making sure its balanced afterwards. You wont have any problems using a stock disk with a lightened flywheel.

good point... , but as long as you get everything balanced together after its lightened... why would there be a problem.

I heard it can wear your stock clutch really fast. Yes?
