Bike weights...the real deal

[sixstringsteve]

how are you guys measuring seat height?

 

[Cascadia]

I measured min at the lowest point, where I actually sit.

2006 Honda CRF450x
F:131.5
R:143.5
Total weight = 275
**This include approx. 2 gallons of fuel


2009 Yamaha TTR 125LE - electric start
F:93.5
R:100.5
Total weight = 194
**This include approx. 2 gallons of fuel

how are you guys measuring seat height?

My 500 is almost level, so I just measured it, the 300 I measured at the lowest point (also where you naturally sit).

Man, the CRF150F is a porker compared to the TTR125L. Twenty-nine pounds is huge. Selling the 150F for a 150R anyway.

 

[sixstringsteve]

I'll bet a TTR 125L is even lighter than a 125 LE (electric start). The 125L's have so little compression, I bet I could start it by hand. I definitely see the appeal of an e-start for little guys though.

Yeah that alone sells the TTR for the girlfriend

I will have to pull out the scale and give a report on the 2013 300 xc after I pick it up tomorrow. :greg:

 

[thefirstzukman]

09 klx250sf

147.2 front
159.2 rear
33.25" seat height
3 gallons of gas and rear rack added

Claimed weight 302.1 lbs. and seat height is claimed 33.9".
My bike was a supermoto factory and I swapped on monster off road tires and gas tank holds 1.3 gallons more fuel, plus rack so I would say its was lighter than factory maybe.

Bike weight doesn't really bother me to much most the time..

2013 KTM 300 xc

Front: 117.8
Rear: 122.2

Total: 240.0

Manufacturers claimed weight: 222.9 dry

This weight includes the following accessories that probably add up to additional 8-10 lbs.
Aluminum skid plate
Scotts steering dampner
FMF Turbine Core II silencer
Carbon fiber pipe guard

The bike also has approximately 1 gallon of gas in the tank.

I did not do a seat height measurment since I have not set the sag on the bike yet. I will update it after this weekend.

Ok, here's mine

'03 KTM 525exc

F: 140
R:141
Total: 281 (mfg dry weight 260)
Approximately 1 gal fuel
Seat Height 37.25"
Bark busters, desert tank, steering damper, fork subtanks, headlight, HD tubes
It would be tough to get it down much more, I can see maybe dropping 5 pounds.
Ktm in 10 years have dropped almost 40# off the 500, not too bad!

 

[Greg]

Wow Grant!! You handled that weight like a champ!

 

[ChestonScout]

finally a bike heavier than mine!

 

[Tonkaman]

Wow Grant!! You handled that weight like a champ!

Seriously! You had me thinking it was a 225 lb race bike

 

[sixstringsteve]

My KX/KDX Hybrid:

111.0 front
124.2 rear

235.2 lbs total w/no gas

no gas in the tank, with skid plate and radiator guards.

20 lbs lighter than the KDX 220. Not bad. I could get it down another 5-10 lbs if I got really aggressive. Ditching the stock exhaust alone could shave 5-8 lbs, but I like it enough as is. There are higher priorities than a super light weight, like a headlight and a kickstand, etc.
