Most of these bikes will have at least one flywheel failure in their lifetime. Low-quality epoxy was used on OEM flywheels to secure the magnets to the rotor body. Over time and many heat cycles, the epoxy fails allowing the magnets to come loose and contact the stator, potentially causing catastrophic damage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor years, service shops \u0026amp; dealerships have offered low-cost repairs for Kawasaki flywheels. This sounds like a great idea at first, but there are some serious issues! \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe common repair is using Marine Blue Epoxy to reattach the loose original magnets or to install new ones. Epoxy fixes do repair flywheels in short term if they are done correctly. However, this kind of repair can easily cause immediate problems and impact long term reliability of your ATV.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Heavy Duty Flywheel to the rescue!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNew RMSTATOR\u0026amp;trade heavy-duty flywheel rotor for Kawasaki Motorcycles is a well-priced solution to problems with the OEM flywheel, and an excellent alternative to all the mechanical troubles you can encounter with a repair.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt to OEM size -\u003c\/strong\u003e Fits precisely in your ride: install it and forget it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImproved epoxy - \u003c\/strong\u003eUses high-temperature epoxy that is stronger than OEM, eliminating the possibility of magnet detachment.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-grade steel capping - \u003c\/strong\u003e Prevents harsh additives in motor oil from degrading the epoxy attaching the magnets.
