Mr Gibbs told me it was a bad idea on these. They dont have the strongest cranks in the world and adding extra weight to it increases the chances of it snapping quite a lot !! I had this confirmed by another KTM mechanic/guru.
Might be worth experimenting with the power-valve setting (I don't know off-hand which way but just try it one way then the other). Loosen the locking bolt first.
Thats under an inspection cover on the cylinder, just make a note where the marks are before experimenting :)

As far as I know - the EGS engine is in quite a lower state of tune than the current EXCs. I did have an older EGS and was nothing like my mental current bike. So perhaps the flywheel weight is more suited to this autolube model.
I remember talking to someone who's name I forget (cos I'm rubbish like that ) up at the dirt bike show a few years ago and he had done Romaniacs twice and roof of Africa all on a 200 exc and swore by the fitting of a flywheel weight and Gnarly front pipe reckoned it was like riding a trials bike with attitude
