Okay, I just went to fuel my bikes up to the limit.

Wet weight, all fluids (water/oil) including gas up to the limit. Both bikes with the super-heavy throttle slop stopper from James installed :) :)

My SL in street setup (but race exhaust :) ), including blinkers, CF and Al crash protectors (DP, zoshix and Rizoma), OEM subframe and monocoque, custom evotech tidy tail, two rizoma R80 mirrors, bigger wind screen, most of the steel bolts replaced with Ti and Al, GiaMoto rearsets, lithium bat, etc...... 177kg

My Tri in street setup (but with Akra full evo Ti system) including blinkers, OEM subframe and monocoque, one Rizome R80 mirror, one DionDevice, Bitubo steering damper, huge GSG crash protectors, TPO axle, Windshield CF, ducabike oil-quarium and clipons, everything replaced with CF including Rotobox wheels and Sicom discs, all bolts Ti or hollowed Inox or Al, Cox rad guards, and I don't know how many bling stuff, but still 525 chain with quick change adaptor (still waiting for it for the SL), lithium bat, ..... 180.5kg

Sh*#t, the SL is still lighter. That was a real suprise for me. And the engine is a trillion times more aggressive (and louder :) :) ).

Are you guys doing the front tire on scale added to rear tire on scale method?
 
Cuz what I did, cuz mines so light, I picked it up, stood on the scale, then subtracted my weight.
 
Mine is 360 lbs. with about 1/2 gallon of fuel, I didn't weigh it completely empty and I've never filled up completely up. So I figure it's about 357 with an empty tank. Weight balance was 184 front/176 rear, weighed using two scales and balancing the bike on them.

As a side note: If you're using a single scale, put a board under the other tire to elevate it to the same height as the scale otherwise your weight will come up low.
 
Wouldn't a better way of doing this to weigh you on the bike with gear/fuel at a weigh station or recycling center?

What good is it to brag about your bike being 2lbs lighter but the rider weighs 30 more?

This is absolutely stunning!!!!! What kind of wheels? OEM monocoque? Is your SBK electronics remarkably lighter than the OEM stuff?

I use a 200kg (china) digital crane scale, I guess real accuracy is +/- 1lbs.
 
Meanwhile r1 is around 20kg heavier, at least. Keen to hear those who have ridden both whether it feels 20kg heavier. I'm guessing not?

That is what most people do, and from what I gather it is relatively accurate. I just cant wrap my head around the physics of it.

It isn't like you can cut the bike in half. When weighing the front wheel, it seems some weight from the rear half of the bike would still be felt and vice versa.

I don't know.

But when people do that, they get realistic numbers. I just cant wrap my head around it.

Yep, measuring the weight axle by axle and adding the numbers works (same system as for weighting huge trucks or aeroplanes), but keep in mind what jarelj already said: the vehicles hoizontal position must be the same.

The aim is to make the bike lighter and then compare apples with apples. So no it would not be a better way to do it. I do not think anyone is bragging either they are just stating what weight the bike is after mods.

Note that no one has mentioned their weight in the posts ? The purpose of thread is the weight of the bike.

Feel free to start a thread about what you weigh.
