Great idea Don,I’ll shoot him a PM right after I get a memory upgrade in my hard drive to handle the answer.

JDJ, I’m hardly going to realize a weight reduction if I do that but thanks anyhow.

So I thought about JDJs advice and looked for a solution, I ended up re installing the battery and drained the gas tank. Hey I’m thinking at 1.63 lbs per liter, I come out ahead in the weight reduction department. Guess what smart guy, bike still won’t start so the battery obviously has nothing to do with it.

Drain tank and remove battery. Net savings about 28.3 lbs. Bike will handle better, tip in better and even brake better. Will have to add 3 lbs back for Fred Flintstone pedals though. and a pound for bota bag of gin and ketamine to keep the party going I think.

Gin and ketamine? That sounds like a straight up Cycler mod right there.

I know. You’ll type and type and type but not really saying anything

Reinstall your battery. You need it and lithium batteries are exceedingly light.
Refill your tank, obviously you need fuel.
Remove your starter motor, it's very heavy and useless when running.
Remove all brake discs, surprisingly heavy and won't effect starting.

Don’t just remove the disc’s…
Machine off the flanges that they bolt to and while yer there the seals as well!
And with no caliper why leave caliper brackets - those can go too : )

Remove tank and wheels and purchase cardboard box and move to Venice.

Didn’t Ducati steal that place from the French?
Or were you referring to the town in LA where cycler gets his meth?

Yesh the meth place. Right by Santa Monica homeless capital of the world. Sunshine, cheap wine and wild women on meth.

Hmmm, this mod is really popular with v2 owners... they're very interested in flat footing

Yes I agree, I’m not sure why though. I had a 959 and never tried that mod. Looks and sounds very solid though.

I mean the pedal thing of course. Now the bota bag thing maybe once
