899 Wet Weight

The dry weight is on the internet, can’t just the fluids be weighed, probably not that simple

 

100kg limit on scales isn't very representative of today's society.

 

Lots of tri options buys will have but they have road kit removed

 

That will change when Mike Ashley takes them over. Nothing lightweight about him.

 

This is very similar to what I got when I weighed mine. I weighed it the same way as you.

 

I'd be interested to weigh my V4S when I've finished getting it where I want. I reckon I'll have lopped ~15KG's off it's as built weight when I'm finished.

Where can you get your bike accurately weighed??

 

Iirc many MSV tracks have a weigh station

 

Oh really? Thanks for that chum

If we had Wal-Mart you would be fine.

 

I weighed mine and it was 182,9 kg (front 91,3 kg, back 91,6 kg) and that's with about half a tank of fuel, Termignoni exhaust and li-on battery.

 

According to my investigations, the wet weight is supposed to be 200kg (dry weight 176kg)

 

Also, just realised I was talking about the 959, which I always forget is a little heavier than the 899 (which I just checked as officially being 169kg dry and 193kg wet)

 

Hmmm, this thread has inspired me to weigh my V4S. Where do you weigh them? How much fuel are you supposed to have in? I think the SG of petrol is about 0.73 so easy enough to work out.

 

I think the tank is supposed to be full. A lot of people use bathroom scales to weigh the front and then the back, ideally with a same height (as the scales) spacer (plank of wood or similar) under the wheel not being weighed to keep the bike level.

 

The Mrs would go spare if she caught me putting the bike on the bathroom scales They're probably made by Christian Le Bouton or similar.

I'm off to Cornerspeed soon. I'll ask Neil if he's got any scales... not bathroom though

 

Don’t let her catch you then!
