22.8 lbs

mtn mike on boost · Dec 26, 2012

pulled the hood on my xm to top off coolant
(think i had some air in there still)
anyways thought i would grab the old bath
scale and it came in @ 22.8 lbs w/ the glove
box ext.
weight loss would be easy here, the problem
i think is how to make an aftermarket/ homemade
hood w/o it being too ugly.

The hood is definitely heavy.

I'd sell it if I were you. Easy way to shed 550ish pounds lol

Mine was low on coolant too. I was wondering if it was from rolling it over a few times. Was thinking of leaving it low......maybe not a good idea?

how do you get 22 pds on a piece of plastic WoW.

The intake box is the size of the hood. Yes a cuple of filters and venting would get rid of a lot of weight.
Who's gunna do it first and test it?

I think I'll ride mine the way it is. The hood is the least of my problems with weight.

I plan on riding hoodless for the spring, just need a way to mount the gauge and its go time!

mikesbike2003 · Dec 27, 2012

Good idea. Let us know what you come up with.

Ya thought the same about being low on coolant guess what happens when you remove the cap even after 1 day of not being ran??? ya the only 1 in below full mark becomes gyser overflow , none of my other sleds have ever done this. go ahead give it a try:face-icon-small-hap

x2 on the gyser, and mine was after sitting for a week

x3 on the gyser,

I really wish the aftermarket would give us an alternative for the xm and the xp. Similar to what diamond S makes for the pro. With enough venting one could easily lose the second (forward) airbox. IMHO

zx hood was 28 lbs. which equalled 28 ft on the hill.

find a way to get rid of the airbox and mount the new BRP RS race hood it's an XM don't see why it wouldn't work?
