Light weight pulley

So are using light weight pulleys worth it or not? If so what are people using?

While every kilo of reciprocating mass reduced helps lessen the engine interia, I suspect the amount of mass you reduce by replacing the pulleys doesn't make a lot of difference.
They do look good though.

I replaced my 2kg stock MY00 pulley with a 500g Perrin pully and yes you do notice the difference.

That's right, you notice increased bearing wear and increased stress-inducing vibrations. As the original crank pulley is double mass harmonic balancer.

Beware of cheap eBay rebranded/unbranded items. I've just replaced mine with a Perrin item, the previous one was wearing out at the keyway.
