[whiterabbit]

I want to shaved some weight off my bike. I was 160 i went down to 130pounds and thats as low i would go on my self. Now i want to shaved some off my bike. what can i do?

PS: those 30 pounds off. will keep you with the big boys 1000s and 1400s.
(DICK N BONES) rules!

That's dedication right there. I would never drop to 130 to loose weight on the bike. But for your question, exhaust and rims would be the two big ones. Aluminum sprockets and other small things. Carbon fiber anything you can.

race fairings will save you alot

you can do alot of small things that will add to a few lbs off. Remove pass pegs, get a rear seat cowl instead of pass seat, remove rear fender and use fender elim kit, use rear brake light with blinkers built in, remove front reflectors, remove fuel evap system, remove all smog hardware, remove resinator (underneath the intake), swap all steel nuts/ bolts with titanium. And like rainking said, full ti exhaust will save a considerable amount. I went with the full Akra race system and dropped about 10lbs. The only proven weight savings in rims is to go with carbon or magnesium rims, and at about $3500 a set, you have to really want to loose the weight.

Sounds to me like someone is doing some eating and gagging after some meals, if anything just stop eating you will shave another 20 pounds in a week LOL. Heck that way you dont even have to touch the bike, just lay there and watch the weight just fly away

Not trying to sound bad but I doubt anyone just weighing 25 pounds less on a 600 would run with me on my 10 let alone a 14 or busa...I've raced a guy on a fully moded out 05 636 that was talking smack saying his bike would beat my stock 09 zx10r right when I first got it lol, we'll just say it was a waste of gas to even race the guy and he was about 130-135 and had his bike dropped to the ground cause he was about 5 6' haha

1.dead stop-went three times, didnt even see the guy.
2.then we did a couple 20-30 roll ons and he stayed at my side threw almost the end of first but as soon as second came I was gone.
3.Dude was now pissed and said lets do a 60-180 roll on haha, guessing the guy doesnt know his bike tops out at 160-165, but what ever I did it any ways. Thats all I will say, thats why I dont race 600's in striaght lines. Now at the track its a different story but truth be told...You live in florida right? You know jennings right? Fastest lap time out there is put down by a 1000 so I dont know. It depends on the rider on the track. Anyone can go in a striaght line haha

who the hell is talking about racing a 600 vs a 1k. Thats like a twin turbo porsche racing a civic, it doesnt matter how riced out the civic is, it will never have a chance. Just because we are talking about 600's don't think we are talking about racing a liter bike. I have done alot to my bike and am at about 115hp, I can keep up with a 750 pretty good untill about 100, a 1k would start walking away almost instantly.
