Hi all,

I am interested in getting light as you can be with xt660r.
Feel free to discuss it, what parts to remove, change, cut off ....
Please do say how much weight is lost with removing parts, just saying remove this or that doesn't provide any good information.
Lets see how much this 181kg bike can survive....

Thanks everyone.

Haven,t weight my removed or replaced parts but exhaust weights a lot. I put a 2-1 exhaust on mine. Don,t know how much my WP fork weights. But if you look at offtheroad.de and there XT660 tuareg rallye bike weights about 150kg.

My only weight reduction was to remove the standard exhausts and replace them with a set of end silencers from Leo Vince X3 and this reduced by about 3 kgs I think.......

I would take the exhaust off 2 int 1 .Exel wheel rims rear end no plate holder fork plastic guards lower mud guard ditch all.Rear mud guard change enduro.

Most of the XT's weight is in the motor.

And the rider!

True enough.

The easiest, cheapest and biggest weight loss can be shed from the rider. The difference between a 12 stone and 16 stone pilot is quite literally a sack of spuds (56lb)!

Probably make the bike harder to pick up though!

Somewhere around 55kg for the motor on it's own, so definitely 'solidly built', but there's plenty of weight in the chassis as well.

I have a stupid idea for building a much lighter bike around the XT motor, but I'm trying not to even think about it till after I get back from the US.
