Default Steahly/ Flywheel Cover ?

I just put a 11 oz. Steahly flywheel weight on my 98 YZ250. The spacer they gave me doesn't even come close to fitting . I need about another 1/4 of clearance to make it work. It looks like an aftermarket cover is the only remedy. Does anyone know which one will give me the clearance I need? Or maybe another way of getting around it. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Call Steahly, their tech support is the best! They'll even talk you out of a weight if they don't think it'll help you.

Is it setting all the way on properly? Make sure those allen screws aren't sticking out at all when screwing the weight on, and that the weight makes nice even contact all the way around. If you ordered it from Steahly, or a dealer they should have given you the right one for your year bike. If all else fails, give them a call as PBMAXX already stated.

Unfortunately, I'm positive the weight is installed right. The flywheel is almost flush against the case. On this weight it is meant to replace the nut that holds the flywheel on. There is a larger outer lip on the flywheel that the weight tightens to via allen screws. It's even the right one since it's marked on the packaging. I thought I saw on these forums someone else who had the same problem but couldn't find the thread again. I'm a little irritated at Steahly for not mentioning this but it would take a much deeper cover then stock to give the flywheel enough room to spin freely. Guess I'll just have to give them a call on Monday.

OMFG!!! Upon second inspection it turns out I'm a total moron. I looked at it again today because I couldn't believe a company with the reputation of Steahly would sell a product that doesn't fit.It turns out there is a washer that sits deep in the flywheel that I missed the first time. It fits perfectly now.

DISCLAIMER: Please disregard any of my future post as I feel you all may become dumber for listening to what I have to say.
