GSXR Flywheel

Post by Username » Wed Oct 19, 2011 8:51 pm

I've got a GSXR 1000 flywheel for a pending alternator conversion. It has F4T38771 5Y30 identification marked on the flywheel rim. Can anybody confirm from which model GSXR 1000 the flywheel has come from?

I think ID from the flywheel markings will be difficult. This is usually not the part number.

Perhaps weighing it might be easier to find which model it came from?

I think Mike Norman recommends the K7 as being the lightest - link below shows it weighing 610g. This was a couple of years ago mind.

Whatever model yours is from I wouldn't worry about it....

Thanks for your help.

I have been told that the 5Y30 was the manufacturing date (week 30, 2005) so I thought it was a K5. I'd like to know for sure so I can get the right stator to go with it.
