What is the stock weight of a 400 sport? i did a search with little success so id figure id ask.

im trying to see how much i lost. i weighed mine in last night and according to my scales, which are fairly accurate, weighed 330 lbs. with 2 gallons of fuel in the tank [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

any replies greatly appreciated

that sounds about correct. the 2002 scrambler 400 2x4 is 494dry. so for no struts/springs all the little stuff and some cutting that seems correct to me. I've also read the older ones were lighter stock. don;t know if this helps you much.

 

yea i did all of what you mentioned plus i chromemolied my sub frame. and made a chromemoly s.arm

those stock swing arms are heavy. the battery's heavy too!

so lets see here 494 - 330= 164 lost lbs. but you said dry, meaning without any fuel im guessing.

so 2 gallons x 7 lbs per gallon = 14. 14- 330= 316 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] so the bike itself weighs 316lbs dry. 494-316= 178 lost weight.

Beat that jenny craig!!!!!!!!! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

not as lite as brents, but im working on it. (his weighed in at 245 with a gallon of fuel in the tank [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img])

Conig, I have seen that chart floating around on the forums from time to time, so it probably fairly accurate. Years ago I read in one of the mags that the Sport weighed 475lbs dry, so 481 is very close.

 

The 2001 models were 481...they acheived this by putting on aluminum floorboards and aluminum wheels...still heavy but I love it anyways!!!

 

dont forget about the oil, and I think the sports were liquid cooled too....so take that weight off also [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

What all did everyone do to lighten them up?I have the floorboards cut off and my fenders trimmmed pretty far.i dont have that much money to spend but i want it lighter.any help.Thanks

 

LOVE the reference chart! even at only 20yrs old, i've been watching this market for a LONG time, and am kinda old-school, so horsepower numbers are awesome for me to finally have on a lot of the machines from the 90's!

 

I am also 20 and I have been watching the market for a long time. keep up with the info old timers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] you are keeping us youngins happy
