Sooooo........anyone weigh the new sleds yet?

PLEESE show me how this is incorrect 2008=429 pds. 2010=446 pds. Seems pretty simple to me but I'm sure you'll have some excuse as to it not being correct. When the XP came out I went to Riverside to check it out, the running boards flexed down about a half inch when I stood on it, did they still do that in 2012?

You can add a few in 2012 too (likely Etec caused). I had assumed everyone knew this.

From the BRP website, the 2008 dry weight for a 154" summit X is listed as 429 pounds.

From the BRP website, the 2010 dry weight for a 154" Summit X is listed as 446 pounds.

Ya they sure do hence why everyone adds stiffeners. Like bounce said there may be a doubled up plate here and there but not 20 lbs worth. I would be second guessing brp s release weight in 2008 rather than assuming they added mysterious weight

Ya released weight was a bit off from what I remember as well, Buddy I work with bought one in 08 and and we weighed it pretty much bone dry here at work and the dry weight worked out to be right around the 440 mark, 2008 800r 154

Wow I love this chit !!!

I would like to see the big 3 Full of all fluids weight just to know, But really all I have been wondering is the belt drive on the poo going to make any diff in the drags I do with my buddies? Last year both 2012 sleds 154 X with can and my dealer demo 155 pro with can and e-start. The poo (me) lost. (Buddy on the X was heavier than me)

I will give it to Ski-doo, sled has some really good power stock but I still went with a new Poo they just feel (IMO) much more responsive to my input. If my T-nytro felt half as good to ride as either of them 2 sleds I would still be ridding it.
Now back to the weight issue, as I have said before I have a new 155 Pro bone stock (Noe-start, stock can) with next to nothing for fuel in it and an overhead electric host all I need is the scale and other models of sleds we can weight them dry than wet or just wet don’t really care as long as we get a wet weight on them.

How about using the highways scales?

Weight your truck, drive home and load sled, and weight again! Should be pretty close as long as one lives within a reasonable distance of the scale.

Someone else already mentioned that, but my response was that all the HI way scales I have seen only weigh in Kg and in increments of 10 so it could have a very wide margin for error. Say if the poo was just the right weight to have it round down and the doo or cat was just the right weight to round up, that could start a bunch of whining...

To bad you wouldn't fit in the toilet! So that none of us had to read that!

Never thought about that side of it......and you are correct about the whining!

 

[Kyle91rs]

if u have a 160 pound guy on a sled and a 240 pound fat guy on a sled yes the 160 pounder will go faster and farther

You callin me fat ya little twirp???

 

[Barker]

You callin me fat ya little twirp???

I wouldn't worry about it that guy on any sled an't going fast or far! If he took a couple pound crap it's because his cuz'n packed it in there!

He ment that they only go in 10 kg incriments so say its a 24 kg the scale will say 20 or if its a 25 it'll say 30 so you can obly get a close weight not a 100% accurate weight

Ya I didn't think to many people on this site would have trouble with that conversion (2.204623 lbs per Kg) the point I was tring to make is that all of the truck scales I (see that "I" that means "me")have been to don't read into the single digits. For example it would read 4750 Kg even if the load is 4754 kg.

All scales scales can be calibrated. We have a truck scale at our plant for weighing sulphur trucks and its calibrated every so often . I don't think accounting would like it if every truck that rolled on the scale was 5 kg heaver than the printout. The most important thing to remember when using a scale is making sure it is zeroed before rolling on it, or if it reads a number before rolling on it compensate for it on your final reading.
I have a scale for weighing my pinweight and have a known 100g mass to calibrate my scale before use.
