I wasn't doubting your numbers. Mostly curious if maybe they are adding more parts to that weight than what is actually attached to the engine.
I have read somewhere but I do not remember where. I read that the weight of the new motor as displayed on Rotax.com included more components being weighed than components weighed on the 800etec.
Wish I could remember where I read that.

Im sure the 850 will get lighter too. I dont think the Chassis is the problem anymore.. It seems light, and nimble.. Without the motors in them, it sounds like the doo chassis is actually lighter.. So for 2019-2020 model year they will probably redo the front and rear suspensions totally, and then from there all thats needed is a little weight reduction in the motor, and walah, beast sled.
