I'm tryin to put my bike on a diet and I need some insight on how to do so. All suggestions welcome

im not trying to sound like an ass, BUT if you want weight savings the easiest way is to find a treadmill and use it religiously. the easiest way to reduce weight is to reduce your weight, not the bikes.

r u always a smartass and think ur funny? jesus...

hey bro depends on if ur just wantin it lighter for street or drag use.. somethings u can do r get fiberglass body work.. remove 1 frnt brake rotor/caliper.. aftermarket wheels.. alum. sprockets. carbon tank.. just all depends on what u can spend,. and what u plan to do with the bike street/race..

02 GSXR HYBRID is correct. Sure items such as lighter wheels and rotors will positively affect your bike's ability going into turns, but dropping your body weight is truly the cheapest way to pick up speed on your bike. Dropping 10lbs in bodyweight is easy and free, dropping 10lbs in bike weight could cost you thousands.

I'm only 165lbs now. Don't want to look like a skeleton I'm thin enough already. I've heard of removing the rear break rotor too

ya like i said.. the guy asked for ways to shave weight on HIS BIKE not himself.. .... ya u can remove the rear rotor and caliper but i dont recommend that.. mines removed but i only race the bike.. so. ya.. these bikes r very light from the factory so if u want to lose more weight .. ur gonna spend some cash bro..

can you explain how thats being a smartass? its a pretty sensible suggestion considering the guy didnt post his physical stats. i weigh about 245lbs, so if i was talking about trimming weight, then theres not much point paying for carbon fibre stuff, when i could just lay of the pies for a week or so and save the same weight.

so this guys 165lbs. if that was posted in the first message, i doubt body weight loss would have been mentioned.

you fall out with this guy somewhere else?

but to answer the original question, forged wheels, titantium zorst, magnesium engine covers, lighter sprockets - all easy (but not cheap) weight reductions.
if you want to save more and get real silly with money, you can save a bit of weight on engine internals and carbon brakes + CF fairings

andtal this guy says his 600 is pushing over 150 HP on nos in another thread. he says its putting out morre HP that my 1K. all i can say is.." SHOW ME THE DYNO!!!!"

andtal.. my point is the guy asked how to shave weight from his bike not himself.. im sure if he was 245 like u or w/e then im sure hed know that he himself could lose weight to go faster.. but his original question was HOW CAN I SHAVE WEIGHT ON MY BIKE...

if u do a search my dyno should still b on this website.. with a 40 shot i put 151 to the rear wheel.. i now have the 60 shot on so ya..if u do another search i also should still have my timeslips on this site to where my best time to date is a 6.13 @ 114 in the 1.8th.

once again he asked for ways to lighten the bike not himself..

im still putting more to the ground. there is a dyno day going this weekend. if i end up driving the 50 miles to do it ill post up the sheets. looks like its gonna be cold as shit though so i might not make it.

6.13 is believable in the 8th on nos and a wheelie bar, and a decent time as well, BUT again im not into the whole pin-it, hang on, and shift style of racing. i like the challenge of a getting good time while the bike wants to flip over backward. that actually takes more skill than just knowing where to hold the throttle for a launch and hanging on.

once again u assclown.. i use the bars for bracket racing. plain and simple. i guess an airshifter is bullshit to u too huh? do u even know what bracket racing is? lmao its about consistentacy. and id say the bars help u in being just that.. as does an air shifter.dunno why i even waste my time on u

assclown good choice of wording.hmm bracket racing isnt that the type of drag racing so the slow guys have a chance yea thats what i thought. well u never said anything back so im assuming your not the ruff ryder type from the dmx videos more so of the broke back mountain type.
