Did the stock bike actually come it at 415 lbs with a full tank off the showroom floor?

The stock bike came it at 406 with 10 liters fuel.

Way to go!

All it takes is money and time. This ZRX of mine has lost over 100 lbs from its stock weight.

Right on the money, as 5L gas is another 8 lbs for 414 lbs.

@Pmack @AV80R I have a brand ne bike coming into the shop tomorrow right off dealer showroom, we will fill it with gas and take weight and then do mine right after to see where were at at the present time. like I always mentioned with the N400, the bike is not that heavy and quite nimble, yes putting the ZX4 on a diet is somewhat needed but not necessary. guys that weigh a buck something soaking wet don't have to worry about to much after the exhaust change. older guys hold on a few more donuts that they care for may want to do more. if DP26 can lug around a motogp bike, then the rest of ya stop complaining about 3xx lb bike !!

I'm not complaining, but the wife is used to a N400! My target for her street legal bike is 385 full of fuel.
Fender eliminator, low mount exhaust, scrap the passenger hangers/pegs, and a lithium battery should put it really close.

Less weight is better power to weight ratio as you know.
I have dropped 40lbs since I met you at Jennings about a year ago now?
A N400 moves me along much better at 190lb vs 230lb.
Cheaper to take the weight off of me than off of 6 different bikes!

 

[Pmack]

@AV80R , Is that a Christen Eagle in your avatar?

 

[SCracing]

@Pmack I'll post the weights of both bikes tomorrow just to see where we're at. wheels and the exhaust will be the 2 that make the most difference .

We need to have a conversation about how you lost that weight. 👍
I'm losing weight but cannot for the life of me keep it off and the rollercoaster of gains and loss has me dizzy. 🥴
Being a truck driver doesn't help. 🤷🏼‍♂️
I'm still putting in muscle but that's something in my blood and stopping will be more detrimental by doing so.

Congrats though on the weight loss. You really do feel better and have more pep in your step.
Sorry for the off tangent.
Back on topic. 👍

if only there were wheels to buy!!!

 

[SCracing]

@vcyclenut oh there is, only problem is getting them and how much they will be. I'm working with MOS to hopefully have these built and get them to some of us that have the MOS on our N400s and the new guys on the block that want a nice wheel at a very reasonable price !

so if we cant but them , I stick by if only there was some we could buy, lol

Yep, Christen Eagle II

I have always loved Christen Eagles since I first saw one at Oshkosh in 1988. I was 14 or 15 at the time.
Sorry for the de-rail folks!

 

[Chuck Graves]

with how much fuel in it?


how are you weighing it?

I bought 3 decent scales to try to weighing it, with one under each wheel and one under the kick stand but even with creating plates to spread the weight across each scale the results are not consistent enough to be really useful

We use scales from intercomp. Their scales are pretty much the industry standard of scales for Motorsports racing. They also make a few other types of products.

Is the 4 cell enough to stay at a constant voltage during riding? If your bike loses voltage, you have the problem of getting leaner and leaner, depending on how the voltage tables are set up for injector values.
