easy 25+kg loss

[PBCup]

Just fitted some Ph1 wheels and removed the spare.

Weighed them and roughly 2.5 kg less so with the 16.5kg spare that's over 25 kg.

Probs been covered 100s of times but defo a worth while change.

Plenty can come out, carbon canister, recirculating valve and engine weight under engine mount to name a few.

You can get 50kgs out from removing the standard seats!! Obviously you need bucket seats so your gonna put some weight back in but only about 10-15kgs max!

engine weight under engine mount

Can you go into more detail on this mate?

 

[Bobby.]

Basically its a weight under the upper engine mount, its their to reduce vibrations i think, but it doesn't seem to make any difference when removed so i left it out.

Erm.

Erm.

you what?

Isn't the actual weight loss in using lighter wheels the weight saving multiplied by approx. 4 due to wheels being unsprung weight - so nearer 40 kilos saved by bolting on the lighter wheels alone plus the 16.5 from the spare?
I'm sure someone will correct me on this if not correct.
