i think these factory teams can beat the minimum weight. i think they get the bikes as light as possible then add the weight back on is an area on the bike that makes the rider more comfortable. but if they dont do that, then i think its a good idea imo

Not all of the factory bikes can get down to 220... A few do though.

Obviously the KTM teams are hitting the min. You mind giving us an idea of who's not and what those bikes weigh?

A Ti shifter with a rubber tip hmmm, is stronger than an aluminum one, but without seeing the back side if it is machined out, id say heavier.

In Supercross they are all close to the limit but out doors they are about 10-12 lbs over.
What changes from sx to outdoor to add 10-12 lbs?

The rubber tip has been around for years. Not really sure why you would run it? better grip/feeling?

I think newmann said it good, they put on more durable (heavier) parts to take more punishment for the Motos

Bigger radiators, oil coolers, maybe more protection on vital parts? Hand guards, bigger tanks. So maybe with extra fuel extra coolant you also have more weight.
