Re: Gas Yamaha; counter balance shaft
I have heard you can remove it also, I did in mine, just for fun, but put it back, it did have more vibration at higher rpm, But it is said it wont hurt the motor, Its more of a comfort feature.

Re: Gas Yamaha; counter balance shaft
We had balance shafts in our Kohler 14hp engines. They also seemed to self destruct! We just took them out of all the engines ( used on mowers ) They vibrated a little more, but nothing objectionable.
