DOES THE PLACEMENT OF THE WEIGHT MATTER?
You bet! Four ounces on the inside of the flywheel is not the same as four ounces on the outside of the flywheel. The farther the mass is located away from the axis, the greater moment of inertia. On most modern bikes, the exact position of the weight is controlled more by the limited available space than by a desire to tune the rotational mass. Only one aftermarket firm designs their weight by measuring the moment of inertia.
