M8000 weight??? 2014 2015

[2deep4u]

Are the 2015 fatter than the 2013
Good info on 2013 153 @ 564lbs wet 489 dry no fuel 75lbs of fuel
2014 I have no info other than 18lbs loss on 2013 471lbs dry or 546lbs wet
So I see a member weight a 162 2015 at 499lbs no fuel or even little oil
In know a 162 weighs 8lbs more than a 153 but this would indicate that the 2015 model weights 504lbs on a 153 no fuel
Are the 2014 as heavy as the 2015

a 14 162 out of the crate is about 485

Well, they sure don't need to gain weight. My guess is the 500 lb weight might be an off scale? It would be nice if someone would take all the '15 sleds and weigh them full and ready to ride. How come that never happens.

I wouldn't think it would be too much trouble for a dealer to check a 14 and 15 for the suspected difference, I know i'd be curious.

Given a posbbile jackshaft gain i don't know how that adds up to that much additional weight.

What's the big deal with listing a consistant crate weight?????

'14 and '15 should weigh really close to each other. Only thing the 15 has to add weight would be the jackshaft and rail stiffeners. Both minimal. The weight of the anti stab kit added to the 15 most likely cancels out since the front idler wheel hardware is lighter on the 15. Other than that, same sled weight. The dry weight on paper that came with my 15 153 sno pro was listed at 463lbs.
