sectionone Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 I took my GG Pro engine out for service and it weighed 40lbs (18.143kg). Does anybody know the dry weights of Sherco, Beta, Scorpa, Montesa engines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aladdinsane Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 All you need to know is all the others are heavier then a GasGas. Now go put it back together and just ride it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrcmonty Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hi Guys I changed the oil in my 300 Raga the other day. 450mls came out and it weighed 469.223 Grams. I measured 450mls of the same oil to put back in and this weighed 469.445 Grams. Has enybody else weighed other oils. I'm thinking if there are lighter oils out there i can use, it will help me in my weight reduction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micm Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 It's a perfectly reasonable question though I would expect the Gasser to be lightest. It is a weight obsessed sport after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smalley250 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Okay here is me findings, Montesa heavy, Beta less heavy, Sherco even less heavy, GasGas less weight of all as usually in bits requiring a rebuild Oil i find that Olive Oil light to be the lightest of all oils and low in saturated fats, thus reducing the onset of obesity.

mrwhite Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) I am lazy and fat, I never clean my 315r! Can anyone advise if the extra few grams of gloop is increasing the un-sprung weight of my wheels causing me bad results. Would it be worth running bald tyres to combat this?

No Fat and bald is never a good look in my honest opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
