Only sort of... Dry weights are almost always lies, so I reckon the only way to get them down to the claimed weight is generally to simply not count bits of bike.

So THATS why Jo wasnt so happy with you that time.

Wet weight, averaged from the number of times I have had to pic mine up off the ground - too much

Maybe I should look into weight reduction on the bike too......

You only need one.
Put your front wheel on the scale and make sure the rear wheel is on the same hight, ballance your bike and read the kg's. Same methode for the rear.

I had:
front: 84,3kg
rear: 91,1kg
bike: 175,4kg

Calculations for the fluids:
petrol: 16l x 0.81kg/l = 13kg
coolant: 1,6l x +-1kg/l = 1.6kg
oil: 2.3l x 0.876kg/l = 2kg
total of: 16.6kg

Dry weight: 158.8kg

Theoretical dry weight (for the N): 165kg
