    How does it measure up?

    Okay so i've been thinking a lot lately about the weight of my R, and where i could shed some pounds. There was an old thread on this but it got hairy so i thought i would just start a new one. So has anyone had their quad on the scale lately. If so let us know the weight and what you have.

    I would really like to know what an R with a aluminum or chromolly frame, aluminum axle, some carbon parts, hipers(don't know if they weigh less) some fox floats, billet motor mounts, aluminum rad., alu. bars, even wave rotors, alum. spindles, etc would weight up, it would have to be light

    My 250R with a chromoly frame weighs around 75 lb. I usually just strap it to my back and carry it up to the line so I don't get any dirt on the tires.

    You can see what I have in my sig... With a full 4 gallons of 91 octane in my IMS desert tank mine weighed somewhere around 385 wet, and ready to go.... That was with dirt tires, which are heavier than paddles. I need to get the weight set up for sand...

    my old 510cc Saber "R" weighed in a 297 wet and ready to ride.

    there was still another 15-20lbs that could have been shed, but it's VERY expensive those last few lbs.

    i think 300 pounds is a good destination to try to meet. and thats SUPER light compared to the 450's. under 300 and your going to start sacraficing some strength in some spots.

    just dug into the archives and found that the oem spec is about 326lbs dry on average, thats from honda so absolutly no fluids. Also saw that there is about a 23lbs difference in a 250r and 450r motor, crazy!

    As for the radiator, my bad i knew that it was late.
