This can make the motor more responsive (less inertia to spin up when accelerating) but can also roughen the idle? (less inertia to keep the motor spinning smoothly between ignition events (especially in 4cyl)). Is it worth doing? Maybe. If you compromise the structural integrity of the flywheel you may lose your legs when it breaks and comes through the floor though I'd expect that the majority of weight in a flywheel is just for ballast and not structurally required. You could probably safely remove some. If you have to ask, no you can't do it yourself as it needs to be precicely balanced after the process. Take it to a machining shop to be done (not Midas).
