So most of the 450's are 350lbs dry (give or take a few)... The outlaw 525 IRS is 395 dry and the 525 S is 375 dry.

What do normal quads (or similar oil/gas/coolant capacity) quads gain in weight? Do most consider the wet weight with a full tank of fuel, or just oil/coolant?

Figuring 3 quarts of oil, and a half gallon of coolant...that adds about... 15 pounds? Gas @ 8 lbs a gallon would be another 25ish lbs if that is necessary to constitute full wet weight...

I guess what I am curious about is full wet weight of say a YFZ & the DS compared to the wet weight of the 525 irs and 525 S.

I have not weighed my DS 730 but I know its a heafty bugger! I imagine im somewhere right around 500 lbs all dressed up (the quad...not me...lol), but I could be off by 20 lbs either way...

I guess the 525 IRS would be about 100 lbs lighter, and the 525 S about 120 lbs ligther than my DS? and about

 

gas is only 6.8lbs if i remeber right

 

Both Outlaws would be about 35lbs heavier, and this is due to there large fuel tank of 3.9 gal compared to the 450's. And most 450's don't weigh 350lbs. Only the ktm, yfz, and ds450 are in that range. The LTR, KFX, 450R, and the Outlaw 450 are all 365lbs+. The YFZ is also a question on how accurate there dry weight is. Many have been weighed wet and they were ner 390lbs. There is no way there is near 40lbs of liquid on a YFZ.

 

Now that I have been researching it more, people are stating that polaris' "dry" weight is with oil/coolant but no gas, where as the rest of the manuf (yamaha specifically), dry means DRY. If that is the case, that would narrow the margin even more!

 

It seems that a lot of these factory numbers are a little off ....... you'd have to drop it on a cargo scale full of fluids to see for sure .......
