Weighed the Viper 162

[jrusher]

Ya my buddies t-3 was 539,, someone else weighed one with electric start came in at 569 i believe..

 

[jrusher]

Ya i hear ya.. I'll take the extra weight penalty for the extra ponnies.. In the tight trees ya it can wear you down but whatever helps keeps me in shape lol..

I think that is lighter than my M1000! Thanks, keep us posted when the turbo goes on. I am 240lbs and 6ft 4inches and I would consider myself about 50lbs heavier than the average rider give or take? I have know issues with throwing my 1000 around at all and looking forward to throwing my leg over one of these sleds! Being a bigger guy I notice a difference when I jump on a 800 sled vs my well running 1000! Thus why this sled appeals to me, same weight and more ponies!

What sled are you coming off of?

 

[Summitric]

Topped it right off with fuel.. Now time to add some HP and cut some easy weight :d

is that with bags, and shields etc? or stock with full fluids? I like your color choice.... nice sled, man

 

[jrusher]

Nytro and pro..

[jrusher]

Thx .. Its full ready to ride other than spare belt and whatever tools you pack.. One bag was on sled behind seat i believe its for spare belt ..

So I guess my Nypex isn't that heavy after all!!! Full if snow and ice, spare belt, tool kit and a bit over 1/4 tank of fuel weighted in at 602 lbs....

Yamaha weighed a Viper 153 with MPI turbo this spring was 641lbs ready to ride. MPI turbo kits are not that light. Probably drop 10-15lbs off the kit with a better muffler.

If it's 600# that's pretty respectable

Just got turbo kit install pretty much wrapped up. After removing unneeded parts and adding a light weight battery Ive gained a total of 6-7 lbs..
Gotta hand it to the Boost It boys kit fit and finish is unreal on this kit and the instructions and install video make it a breeze for the DIYs..

Don't be a knob...

bought the the same scale on line this morning for 154 dollars delivered

 

[noob]

king knob dishing out the compliments. lol why don't you try posting something constructive and people might tolerate you. Yes, you have stated and we know the yammi is a heavy sled. You have mentioned it many many times. You can't/won't get over this fact. take your scale and go weight some cows or hay bales and let us know how heavy they are compared to your 50000 dollar sled.

On a more important note, my boost it turbo should be installed by the end of this week when I'm back from vegas. Gonna be a fun year with the pro and viper.

Boost it and alpine kits will be significantly lighter than mpi due to the fact that they just have a downpipe off the turbo rather than a suitcase muffler

Is there any reason one couldn't 86 the muffler on the MPI kit and run a straight downpipe like the others do? In the interest of weight savings that is.

I think mpi has a lighter can for their kits! The suitcase if for emissions!
