Re: Anyone know what a standard SV really weighs?
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.

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
