I think a 2% will only overdrive your alternator. Reducing the pully will not help anything. I don't think you will get much gain from this on an MC. It is already pretty light I think.

Unlike with the stock Cooper S pulley which is about 3,4kg, the stock Cooper is already about 1,3kg, so 0,7kg saving from an aftermarket pulley is going to give nothing!

But then again 0.7 kg is still something. I get steaks here that are 500g, and thats a bit of weight. I have been considering this myself, just to even minutely increase the performance. Personally, to get the MC going faster it needs as much help as possible. So this is one possibility. . . I think.

Alta is made for the R53s, it will not fit on the R50 crankshaft snoot. I've got two OEM spares if you are interested.
