So today I finally decided to use the scales to get actually real world fully loaded weights for the CR. Just sitting there without rider the bike weight was: 462 lbs. That's about 54% front 46% rear weight distribution. With me sitting on it the total was: 654 lbs. (that was the best i could do to balance with the 2 scales under the tire) That's about 49% front and 51% rear weight distribution. And the details: I am 6' 1" at about 210 lbs. My bike is pretty stock with stock exhaust. Things taken off: all reflectors, belt guard, cheese grader, inner air box cover. Things added on: Jarden fender eliminator, GPR stabilizer, 2 HID ballast. |

Huh. That's a lot heavier than I thought. Full fuel? |

It was full of fuel. It was heavier than I expected as well. |

K&N filter is maybe a little more than stock. Maybe 1 additional pound for the HIDs Maybe 3 additional pounds for the GPR Everything else should be a wash. I do have a 200/50 rear tire on but that only has a few hundred miles left and shouldn't be very much heavier than the stock 180/55. The stock dry weight i remember hearing was 395. Then add: 35 pounds for 5 gallons of fuel ?? pounds for coolant 5 pound for 3 quarts of oil ?? brake/clutch fluid Couldn't total more than 50 pounds |

I thought the 1125 was 375 dry, and the Firebolt was 395. What about the battery? Does dry weight include the battery? |

Also, do you weigh 210 fully geared up? That means the scale should read around 672 at a minimum with you on it. Looks like there's some error in the readings. |

You forgot about the 12lb battery. |

I did not know that battery wasn't included. Good to know. |

"Dry" is no oil, no fuel, no coolant, no battery. "Wet" is everything EXCEPT fuel. They're outdated forms of measurement...but "it's the way the industry has always done it", so.... |

Erik Buell Racing uses wet weight minus fuel, and the 1190RS clocks in at 389lbs. |

With a Drummer and a full tank of gas, on a truck scale that weighs in 10 lb increments, my cr showed 440. So I read that as 435-445. FWIW. R |
