Removing Decompression Assembly

what do you call this sir xclickclickx...
after market UMA cam sprocket looks like its light weight aswell i think HKholic is running one, he will know more about the specs materials weights and all that, but only down side to this is when you big bore and have high compression the electric start will work but not when the piston is in the wrong spot therefore you will have to put it in gear and roll your bike so the piston moves into compression strok and then the electric start will get it started, Hope you understand what i mean :D

Unfortunately, the UMA is not lighter than this(see below), a modified stock sprocket. But the UMA is a much needed piece for those running a jack-up(stroker) crank with a longer cam chain. The timing ends up being too far off, hence the adjustable cam sprocket.:D

It's an unusual pattern the holes are cut in, do you reckon that was balanced factory with the rest of the unit?
Just contemplating making up for all the weight added in my chunkier lobed experiments! ;)

It's possible they are for balancing, but after removing the entire decomp assembly that all goes out the window. Hahaha.....chunky lobes, I like it! :D

Just sent a mate back in NZ an email to find out more about the balancing, may be possible to lose an extra couple of grams again on the mill ;)
