down to 321 lbs</end quote></div>

I can't even imagine what my mild build would run if I could drop 215Lbs. Some day I will strip it down and lighten the frame and sub frame, but for now I just enjoy it too much.

Does anyone know what a stock frame weighs? How much can you really save for duning.

heck, i want to know heat i can do to mine to make it 450 too, and still be friendly/durable on the trails with occasional small jumps.....is THAT possible?

 

quadlocos 733DS custom chassis with yfz based drag suspension,with jj@a axle,3-sprokes,marvins,small battery,nitrous ect. weighs right at 290-300lbs,a smaller fuel tank and few other changes could take 10-20lbs more off, chassis is all chromoly and std drag hill chassis stuff
the frame/sub/stem was around 34lbs,a stock ds frame is 51lbs bare,a stock ds seat weighs more than most 450 seats and subs,lol

his bike is a 200-220lb yfz with a ds motor that weighs 50lbs more and a few more preferred but heavy parts,lol
if he ever decides to bite the bullit i see 25-30lbs of motor weight that could go pretty easy also

 

is that a ifferent engine to lose the 25 30 more pounds?

 

no, ditch the whole starting and charging system,remote start and run a small battery for the ignition and recharge often. only good for the hard core though
theres got to be a minimum of 20-25lbs there

guys if you want something to be light and durable then why dont you use titanium instead of aluminium. Titanium is stronger than aluminium and lighter...............................but more expensive.</end quote></div>

Titanium is half the weight of steel but twice as strong or something like that- so it would be the way to go imo.

Titanium costs a LOT of money though

 

Whoops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

We are working on a 280lb oem ds.

 

that would upset a few raptor riders
