Guys

Any experience or thoughts re. the long-term effects of having a lightweight crank pulley?

I would have thought that the OEM pulley mass would act as a dampener to smooth out crank harmonics, and am worried about the long-term impact on the crank if I instal a lwt pulley for performance reasons.

Am I worrying about nothing?

cheers
