My 08's weight.

I'm sure this has been covered somewhere else, but I figured it couldn't hurt to post it up. My work has car scales for corner-balancing car suspension, so I threw my bike on the scales (scale under each tire and under the kickstand). Full of fluids and about a half tank of gas she weighed in at 424lbs. Only mods are listed in my signature. Tipped the scales at about 590 with me on it :thumbsup:.

Hope this helps somebody in some way, now I just gotta get it dyno'd so I can start bragging about my power/weight ratio :badteeth:

Getting down there, you're looking at around 440 with a full tank of gas then. Seems an aftermarket exhaust is netting the 08's around a 20 pound loss.

Yeah sounds about right. I'm curious where the other generations stack up in weight. The stock 08 exhaust is entirely too heavy, but it's a good easy place to shave weight.
