I did this some time ago.
It was about 205 Wet with 85 miles of fuel used (about 6 litres or 4.5kg) and a main stand and a TomTom (manual states 208).
So adding the fuel back in and taking the stand off (about 2kg) we are back to what the manual states, 208kg.
The stated dry weight is 183, which probably low when you consider petrol is about 75% as heavy as water and for a 22 litre tank, thats about 17kg, then add on 3 litres of oil, about another 3 kg, Thats about 20kg total.
Add that to the 183kg advertised dry weight and we have 203kg.
Thats only a 5kg discrepancy. This may be accounted for as the early show models had Yamaha Akroprovic exhausts on, not the huge car type exhaust that are on the production models.
