Default lightened crank pulley

No they don't, the reciprocating mass is reduced though which theoreticaly should improve engine response.

i have no idea, but what bob says is sound

the GGR website claims you gain power, tho i belive this is for under driven pulleys?
not sure if mine is underdriven TBH

As Bob say's, just like a flywheel, it doesn't give you more power, just let's the engine rev easier.

<pedant mode>
I'm sure Bob means rotating, not reciprocating.
</pedant mode>

The pulleys are much smaller in diameter than the flywheel so weight for weight they have much less rotating inertia than the flywheel.

They look pretty though.
