What is the weight of a current 450? Not advertised weight but who has actually weighed theirs with fuel ready to go?

If you eat at Subway it shouldn't matter.

My Case 550 Long Track weighs right at 15,000 pounds. I don't know what the 450 weighs...

i weighed mine on a cattle scale, just for kicks, shits and giggles and it came up to 248lbs. full of fuel and all liquids. And a carbon pro exhaust. But that weight loss up top makes a hell of a difference.

What was the air pressure in the tires?

I wonder if you ran 12 pounds in each tire, as opposed to 10 pounds in each...would your bike weigh 4 pounds more???

That's why you should run helium in your tires. 12 pounds of air adds 12 pounds where 12 pounds of helium takes 12 pounds off. You have to be very careful going over jumps though because your tires tend to want to float to the top and you'll land on your head.



Also, strokes are around 10 pounds each so if you ran a 2-stroke instead of a 4-stroke you could drop 20 pounds.

That's probably what the air input on the side of my "shock thingy" is for. I'm going home to pump that thing full!!!!



I weigh 190 pounds, but if I can buy a $1000.00 exhaust to save 3 pounds, then by golly, I'll do it!!!

lol, no i dont think it would add 12lbs. But i run 8lbs up front and 10 in the rear, so maybe it adds 18lbs.

The michelin tires sidewalls are stout. so i like running low pressure.

and i got sponsored by WB (not anymore though) lol so i didnt pay a grand for a pipe

the cr500 v cr450 shootout from MXA says they weighed it at 232--I think that was ready roll no fuel.

Oh...didn't mention tire pressure...assume 12#s and adjust for what you ride (Tongue

My kubota comes in a shade over 3000 w/ the front end loader.
