yeah, that's my point - skater's mass remains unchanged but the rotational mass changes dramatically, read it again.
patrickt's comment illustrates exactly what we're talking about ...
I had my FE specifically built to be, in my uneducated words, "a quick revver." The builder went with a slightly shorter stroke, and all light weight stuff ...
patrickt's engine builder reduced the rotating mass of his engine by incorporating those mods.
