Bike will be track/street. I called Falicon and was told by their tech that the "balance" shaft has nothing to do with the balance of the rotating assembly. It is there to cancel harmonics and quell natural vibrations. I was also told that I could remove it, but unlike a GSXR 1000 or some other I-4 motors, I will most likely GAIN vibration even after the balancing. I was then told that for road racing this bike, I should under no circumstances pull it.

I will keep it.

Also I don't have the pull the flywheel before I send it to Falicon so that will be nice.....
