November 21, 201312 yr With all oils and fuel, do they really only weigh 64kg? Are they the lightest full sized trials bike you can buy?
November 21, 201312 yr Im more than happy to weigh mine fully filled with fluids. Ive only one set of bathroom scales. I suppose i could put a plank on the scales the zero the scales off . Then roll the bike on. The trouble is the scales are analogue so not really accurate. Any better idea?
November 21, 201312 yr Author If you weigh each wheel separately and add the weights together you don't need to bother balancing a plank across the scales. For accuracy I like to put a piece of wood under the wheel not being weighed so as to keep the bike level.
November 21, 201312 yr I put my 240 on the trailer and went to the local truck scale ... Weighed bike on and bike off ... Scale is certified to be accurate . And my trusty 240 pro came out at 168 lbs full of fuel .!!!! Edited November 21, 201312 yr by axulsuv

Put it down and stand on scales second time. Subtract your weight and ta dah.. Kids, don't try this at home with your 4RT. Edited November 22, 201312 yr by ross brown

Kids, don't try this at home with your 4RT. I'll try to get the weight tonight or tomorrow latest. It's covered in Butser chalk mud at the moment getting ready for the first trial there in 23 years on the 1st December. 4 routes including expert and one 1988 World round section resurrection
November 22, 201312 yr I can tell you it is certainly lighter than a 2011 GasGas and a 2014 Sherco When I lift it onto the Bike Rack!

A hernia may await !
