Noise Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Should be close to about 80-100kg. Not 100% sure tho as i never took mine out the frame, but the 650 draggy motor is FOOKING heavy i can tell you that one for free ha ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dt502001 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 More or less than a ton give or take a half a ounce. LOL not more than 150 lbs it's the heavest part of the bike though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steph g Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The bikes dry weight is 144.0 kg (317.5 pounds) - Ref'd from Bikez.com - so I'd take it the engine is maybe about half of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 The Crank on my 650 was 30ish KG which is the heaviest part then add on the wieght of every thing else its comes in close to 50-60kg so for a 125 its gotta be about 40kg (roughly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dt502001 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 The rm 125 would weigh in at about less than half of the xv aprox 60% less,are you thinking of stuffing 1 in? In the case of bike weight the rm's motor is not the same % of bike weight biger shock and forks add more to the % of weight no valve train components only, 1 rod and piston. lighter crank ect..
