Love this thread makes work much more enjoyable getting back to read peoples comments.

I’m in for the Mountain Weigh off just to be apart of the S n M community fun. The build up for trip #1 is killing me.

Do you like beer?

Is a prerequisite

Beer and Whiskey is fine with me.

Hoping to when I’m home and new parts are installed. As close to 599lbs as I can be.

What have you all done to drop weight?

56lbs is a lot. A Earth X battery and and can will only save you a 27 lbs... how are you getting the additional 30lbs.

What's a kakwaklizer it sounds amazing. Oh and to stay on topic how much does one weight, does it collect more less snow than an Axys?

I exercise as much as I can, and avoid sugar.

Make sure it’s topped up when you weigh it....

Ive seen that vid before.

Unfortunately we have seen a previous vid and the proof of ready to ride sleds done by a polaris dealer, which showed very light polaris sleds, with inconsistencies.
The unbiased test done by the members last weekend showed way different results.

Again a vid done by a manufacturer and it showed Only 43 lbs of snow added to the yamaha. While the other two packed on over twice that amount IMO shows a marketing bias and is not worth arguing over.

Every one knows that the G4 has the smaller fuel tank, the cat has way less heat exchanger weight and coolant, and imo the polaris will always be lighter by design.

Want to really put the weight argument to bed??? Get together on the hill and weight the same sleds again. If guys are game to try this, hopefully before accessories are added. The accessories are weighed before added to the sled.

Here is Post #588
All that you need for a simple mountain weigh off.
Do three in one day for a good general average.
Really simple. This was a response to Maxwell, he brings out the best ideas from people.


You are the typical 162% correct that the results are inconclusive with this I must agree.
Doo once again was not the best.........there is no f'n way the results are conclusive until Doo wins.

This is not hard to do, park the sled on a tarp on the hill.
Scrape that sucker clean. Put snow in 5 gallon pail (two pails for the doo) and weigh.
.....won't even need a fancy scale (bathroom scale will do - easy to transport).
Add this to the weights we just confirmed at the weigh off.
BOOM......you get real world weights again. (you can then even adjust for the fuel tank size....lol)

This even eliminates all the mods like cans people will have done.
Won't matter how much gas is in the tank either.
You only need to weigh the snow!!!!
Gives that equal bananas to bananas every one wants.
Gives conclusive results to 163%.

Do three weigh ins in one day, very easy and fast to do.

Sounds like a waste of a day to me lmao

Once my 30 ton crane is back from Fox Creek.... lord knows I'll need it

I’ll be adding to My Build Section when I get home and install everything. And maybe I’ll drive my sled to the same shop on the same scales these 4Stroke haters weighed the rest of the sleds on haha. So then there isn’t crying about different scales, atmospheric pressures, and gravitational pulls showing my Sled at 599lbs. Ya know?

I’ve seen 643 - 656 lb stock weights so I guess we will see what an 18 with some mods weighs.

Like the last weigh in it a good way to get together for some laughs.
Just a little myth busting.
Gives the cabin dwellers something to see.

Well you head up the Kakwa Trail stopping at each Walltent camp you know and have a paralyzer on the mountain. And they do add the weight on but generally after enough you just relieve yourself back down to Chris Burandt Polaris Weight.
