Assuming honda twin here....
You can remove the starter and the chain along with the starter clutch to lose some rotating mass.
Pull the starter, then pull the side cover and remove the chain. If you want to remove the starter clutch you have to pull the stator and remove the clutch from the back of it.
15 minute job.
You will need a plug for the hole left by the starter, Crazypj just made up a batch I believe so send him some money and he will send one your way.
On a cb350 I also gutted the starter motor and left the shell there instead of using a plug. Not as much weight savings but still significant because the weight is mostly in the motor and brushes etc and not in the aluminum housing.
