Title: Weight?
Post by: OMEGAMAN on April 23, 2008, 11:50:43 PM

 ;)

Had the tzr/xt640 weighed after the first race at Snett & was pleasantly suprised at an all up weight of 131Kg

Am working on that now to shave a few more Kg's off before next meet.Targeting around 120Kg  (less cakes & pies?)

Oh!  also working on the exhaust (as it failed the noise test at 108Db) OUCH!!!!

did you have it dyno'd ...... quite a few of the supermono's were after the first race ?
That TZR chassis is a lovely light little frame.... my blue track bike (which Andy used) came in at just over 120....helped by magnesium wheels and engine cases..

Didn't have it dyno'd as I'm sure they wouldn't have appreciated the noise?

Also had a slight oil leak (I think the oil tank may be leaking around a weld underneath?) which needs putting right.

Was very pleased with the engine though! no leaks anywhere?

Very suprised that your's weighs 120kg with that lightweight stuff on it. (now I know what I have to beat!)

Hello

It was 126.something kilos wet after the race.  Tho a front brake actuator bolt (absent when weighed) would have added a few grams.... ::)
