We have seen one as well, not as bad as Jakes, but bad enough; plus two complaints of drivability and vibration issues after the install of a lightweight unit, both of which were traced to significantly out of balance flywheels. We also had one in the shop that would not start after a DIY lightweight install that turned out to be problems with the CPS shutters on the flywheel. Some of the lightweight units just are not very well made.
