Default Best ways to loose weight?

Hey guys, I was just curious of some of the best ways to shed off pounds on the raptor? What stuff to eliminate that doesnt matter and such? I've already taken off my parking brake, heelguards, headlights, skid plates, and I think thats it. Any response is appriciated! Thanks.

yeah, those wheels are really expensive. aftermarket exhaust is expensive, but you can lose 10 pounds. remove the lights, change the tires, cut some plastic, swap handlebars, and if you really want to spend money, hit up some chrome-moly.

I shaved a total of 16 pounds by just changing my rear wheel/tire combo. Went from the holeshot XCT's on steel to Kenda Knarlys on alum (T-9 Bajas). The new combo seems every bit a durable (both 6-ply, etc...) too.

Also, it's less spinning weight stressing the tranny !
