I could loose 4 stone and leave the bike as it is .

Depends what you want to use the removed weight for. Make it go faster or easier off road.

To get it faster take the high bars and screen off and go for clip ons, sit on the back of the seat be like a sports bike rider, and change the gearing to get better top end speed.

For off road remove all the extras, Lights indicators etc as well as the bits you were removing.

But if sreious off road is the game, trade it in for a WR450F for trail riding. Yamaha's Enduro model.

If other makes are possible Beta Alp is basically a Trials bike with a tank and seat.

Cannot remember the maunfacturer but if Ultralight is the game I have seem a mountain Bike and a BMX bike with small petrol engines in.

As for me I still need to loose 4 stone before I can complain about the bike...
