Nobody else should buy these sleds. Everyone should buy something lighter. We should all be the same and like the same things. Thread over.......

Oh NOOO!!!! Now I have to get rid of my new 800 that is in the garage cause it weighs too much. :deadhorse:
S
is that 4975#s or 497.5?
We will just combine cats to the yami section now, both reliable and fat just different color.
So the spec sheet shows these at 465-470 dry, I didn't think there was 30lbs of fluids other than gas.
Put a Pro on the same scale and see what it weighs
how can geo's 12 hcr weigh 478lbs, if this is correct it weighs more than my 09 162 m1000 did stock. But no one can ride one of those heavy piles without getting tired. This weight thing is so f cked this year, just weigh a 12 cat and a 12 pro on the same scale, same fluids, so we know what to aim for.

Is it just me?
Guess I have to brake this down for you Guys
470.0 Lbs dry M8 153 Snopro 50th Special
15.4 Lbs for 6.993 Lt of Coolant
7.18 Lbs for 3.26 Lts of Injector Oil
.7 Lbs for .355 Lts of Chaincase Oil
6.67 Lbs for 4 Lts of 91 Premium Gas
499.95 Lbs Total
I guess that I have burnt couple cups of gas.

Geo used 2 2x4's and a bathroom scale and although close, not accurate. I've used the 3 bathroom scale arrangement before, gotten the weight and then jumped on the machine. It should have weighed 180# more with me on it, but it read less.
I think the weight of the proclimb 8 is settled now, lets move on to the m1100t.
I'm guessing: Spec sheet says 576# dry 600# crate (all fluid except gas/oil) 670# ready to ride
First he said no gas then broke it down with 7lbs of gas, so which is it. I know what geo did but go the same crate weight on his '11 as listed and then lighter on the '12.
If you find a pro please let us know, or even a M with close the same fluids full other than gas,
He ain't heavy, :musicnote:
He's my brother :musicnote:

Boy these guys are tough on u sofaking. I tell you what a Guy goes out and did all this r&d on the new pro and they trash everything you do. Thanks for all the useful info. Hey only one thing can you weigh whiskey and rum. I don't want to lift too much these days off. Ha ha

Is this a weight thread?!
Must be if even numbered days are reserved for oil threads.
Btw my 800 weighs 2120 Newtons, not corrected for local gravitational differences.

So there is a thread over in the general section about a bunch of riding buddies that got together and had a weigh in. Sleds full of fluids, gas, etc.
Here is the link . . .

A couple numbers that surprised me.
12 RMK 600 155 (estart) 561lbs
11 rmk 800 155 Standard(not pro) 552lbs.
09 xp 154 (Estart) 549lbs
10 cat m8 bd turbo 162 559lbs
08 nytro mcx turbo 162 timbersled front and rear, lightweight seat 657lbs.
Thoughts on this.
In regards to the m1100t. It is going to be aprox 640lbs wet That is 17llbs lighter than the nytro. You can knock 15lbs off with a muff. So for $300 you can already be 32lbs lighter than a nytro with better geometry. Also the nytro holds 7gal. So for the same amount of fuel in the nytro it would weigh another 18lbs. So a total of 33lbs lighter than a lightweight nytro in stock form. Almost 50 with a new muff.
In regards to the 12 m8. It is likely to be less than 560lbs wet. So that aligns it with the pro +10lbs
So the guys that claim cat is the new yamaha. . . Quit it. Your making me feel bad about the coolest sled I have ever owned before I even get it when in reality I have nothing to feel bad about. Yes it is going to be heavy but it is not going to be yamaha heavy.

Hey sofa king ya good idea. You should pm me your results after the diet. I am very curious how low it will get. BTW I got your back buddy.

Post your weight reduction ideas and final results. Screw the guys who think the earth is flat.
Before and after would be great, regardless of what it weighs now compared to whatever, the before and after will be a straight up comparison, and everyone would like to see what you can loose with what mods.
BTW, I wasn't trying to bash you for weighing it, just playin around with my other comments.
