Out of curiosity, I weighed my 2008 S2R1000 (with Termis) on the scale at work today.  She weighs:

F = 194 lbs
R = 206 lbs
-----------
400 lbs

with 1/2 tank of fuel.

lighter than I'd have guessed,  I remember them being listed at 395 dry, I'm sure the termis shave some weight but still, not bad.

if you're weighing one wheel at a time, is that accurate?

seems like you'd have a lot to correct for.  i can get my scale to change by up to 20 lbs by moving my feet around on it.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

As long as the wheel's in the center of the scale, and the scale is accurate, yeah, it's pretty close.

Assuming your scale is 3cm tall and you've got a wheelbase of 144cm, you'll get an angle of 1.2o.

cos 1.2o = .9997806

So yeah, you'll get well within 1%, even with two measurements.

You should put a new scale on your Christmas list.

I believe it and with my Dymag wheels and custom exhaust mine is probably in the 385 range. It's great until you get out in the mountains and pop over a hill and discover the front end is not touching the road. -  [evil]Gene

My SC was similar when I first got it.  Had to register the thing when it got to Hawaii, and I ended up taking it to the scale about 15 miles after filling the tank.  Thing weighed right at 401 lbs, with the stock wheels boat anchors.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw that—it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.
