spend lots and lots of money on it.

 

I can think of a few big items... Full Exhaust System will drop a few pounds. 10 or more I think. Some new wheels will drop a few very good pounds..... Un-sprung weight I think they call it.

That's where you are going to loose the most.

Hit up Disco for parts.. Link located below.

 

Is it a "track" only bike? If it is, I have some first-hand experience for you. I just converted my 07 600RR into a track bike, and here is what I did:

remove bodywork
remove headlights
remove radiator fan
remove horn
remove passanger rearsets
remove light/horn controls
remove kickstand
remove no needed wiring
remove rear fender
remove chain guard/mud flap
remove exhaust shield
remove front sproket guard
remove levers
remove rearsets

add Sharkskinz bodywork
add Puig windscreen
add CRG short levers
add Gilles rearsets

This is just a start...if you are making a trackbike. Good luck!

sorry i searched weigth reduction and it didn't come up thanks for the link

 

lol I doubt DIET TIPS would be something you would think of...lol

 

I have a 2004 and it doesnt feel heavy to me. What are you trying to accomplish?

 

ratio would be the answer there wouldnt it..

full exhaust.. carbon replacement parts like tank cover hugger... convert to a one headlight machine, everything you need to replace costs so be prepared to burn thru the cash!

 

Don't sit on it.

 

wheels. use marchesini's. theyre a bit pricey though, but its unsprung weight so it would help out a lot

 

BST are lighter but if you're racing I would have to agree with Panda, but only because most racing organizations don't allow the use of Carbon Fiber

 

Trade it in for an 07

 

You need to lose as much rotating weight as possible so start with wheels, chain, sprokets, etc..

 

hang your balls on the rear stand when you leave the pits.
