MY BIKE WEIGHS TOO MUCH!!!!!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] I was wondering what were some good ways of shaving some weight? It really could use a diet!

 

Loose the floor boards and mounts......rubber pieces on the fenders that connect to floorboards, lighter tires, loose the lights and assemblies, remove the starter, oil block off kit, remove the airbox and connect filter to the carb, loose the skid plates, shave the plastic, aluminum rims, grind all welds. Stuff like that, just look around at stuff you need and stuff you don't, and make the decision.

 

if you dont need it, cut it off! (No, that statement was not meant to be dirty) [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

DOHHH!! bradracer is right but i wouldnt waster ur time grinding welds wont even save u a pound

 

I think Polaris put aluminum front bumpers on all the newer models, but it dosn't hurt to break out the magnet and check. Some of the 4x4 models had them, and through Polaris they were pretty inexpensive.

 

get a new exaust you save about 10 lb .

 

Bradracer sumed it up pretty good.....and what I always tell people when they want a lighter ride is loose some weight themselves...I meen I'm sure we all are a few pounds over weight, plus its probably cheaper shedin pounds off yourself then your quad[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
