Bucket weight...

[nudemetalz]

Okay,.. time for the dumb Bucket thread.

I weighed Lady Penelope tonight. She's 88kg's full of fluids and a few litres of fuel.

How heavy is your bucket?
(no tonnage figures please Sully.. :clap: )

[quallman1234]

Heavy!

The RS50 frame is seriously heavy! Ask Andrew or Trudes needed 3 people to lift it a decent height.

[Grub]

I weighed Lady Penelope tonight. She's 88kg's full of fluids.

Oh dear Nudez ... there's two things about a lady you don't talk about ... 1> Her age and 2. Her weight.

mummble tut ... what is the youf of today coming to ...

Hmmmm ... must go and weigh Parker and Brains ... All irrelevant anyway. It's not the weight of the bike I have to worry about, I have to stop eating pies!

[TygerTung]

CG125 has about 55kg on the back wheel and 25 on the front if I remember correctly, doesn't sound very balenced does it? Might be more sounds a bit light. Can weigh it tommorow. It's too cold and dark to go out to the garage now.

My super special honda has about 45 on each I think.

[Trudes]

Have no idea how heavy Pammy is, she seems quite light, I can lift her rear end, but she is a little top heavy....;)

BOOBIES!!!!

Im not sure how much me lil Sambo weighs..... Its not much though. He's lighter than the A100 and Malcolms pit bike. I can actually lift him! Im sure Dave will be along soon to tell me how much he weighs!

Sambo was weighed a few months ago at 80kg wet
My TZR145 was 85kg wet on the same scales

[Str8 Jacket]

Sambo was weighed a few months ago at 80kg wet


Cheers dude! That means he weighs 140kg with me on it, not too bad at all! :D

[F5 Dave]

That number rings a bell for the H. My 50 barely grazes 60kg with an empty tank so maybe 65 with as much gas as I'd ever run. People think my 50 is super powerful, it's not, but it is light. Bigger engines have heavier cranks etc, never get a 100 that light using road based engines. Was 0.5kg lighter when it was in the RG50 frame, the RS is heavier. Problem is I'm almost 80kg these days.

Think my road legal RG50 was 83kg with a full tank.

[nudemetalz]

And here I was thinking I did a good job lightening the whole machine, considering standard they're around 115kg's.
I gotta lose some weight too by the looks :wacko:

[F5 Dave]

What are you on about? 4 strokes are heavy so it's not too bad. That's why you get 150cc to play with. Careful not to lose too much weight where the vibes could cause issues.

[nudemetalz]

True, but lighter weight equals less horsepower necessary.
I don't think 88 kg is featherweight to the point of vibration issues.

Anyway, my AX1R is 45kg dry. Really.

jesus thats light!

They'll be weight watchers scales then?

Sounds like the weight of the engine?

[Skunk]

Nah. It's lighter than that.

[speedpro]

Old #6 was 70Kg with a few litres of gas. New #6 is 80Kg with a few easy Kgs to lose.

[Sully60]

88 kg is pretty good dude.

Remember your not using light weight wheels, suspension components and bodywork etc and like Dave says there's some metal in them thar four stroke engines.

Skunk, 45kg for the AX-1R? I think you should have to carry a CB125T engine around as ballast!:bleh:

[Skunk]

I think you should have to carry a CB125T engine around as ballast!:bleh:
ZX1R does that. I have no idea what the AX1R weighs. Haven't got any scales (that I can use) either but I'd love to know...

[Citroenjunkie]

Henry is definately the lightest

:clap:

[TygerTung]

Use general bathroom scales, just weigh one wheel at a time.

Stands to reason than weight of front wheel+weight of back wheel= weight of bike. If you know what I mean.

[Skunk]

OK, got some scales... 85kgs for the AX and 145kgs for the ZX

[Str8 Jacket]

HAHA! Fatties!!!!! :girlfight:

[Skunk]

Sob! :cry: Meanie...

[diesel pig]

My H100 in a RS frame weights 70kg with one liter of petrol in her.
My ex water cooled(RG400 barrel and head) GP100 in a 1987 TZR250 frame(shortened) was 84kg with water and no gas.

[nudemetalz]

Dang, those are light, D-pig !!!

[speedpro]

OK, got some scales... 85kgs for the AX and 145kgs for the ZX

HOW did you manage to make the ZX sooooo heavy??

[Skunk]

Just what my scales say. 65kgs of the front, 80kgs on the rear. Total 145kgs.

Is there a flaw in that?

The ZX is missing as much as possible and I was surprised at the weight of both. I expected the AX to be around 70-75kgs.

[Trudes]

Ok, nobody jump down my throat, but are we sure this weighing method really works??
Seems to me that it would be a bit like standing on a scale with one foot on the floor, going, " ok I weight 50 kgs" then standing on the scale with the other foot on the floor and it weighing 50 kgs and then adding them and coming to the conclusion you weigh 100kgs.... just asking...

[Str8 Jacket]

FFS Trudy, you're a fucken idiot! :rolleyes:

[Trudes]

Explain it to me then... I don't get it. Remember now, there are no stupid questions, just stupid answers.

[nudemetalz]

It does actually work, Trudes.

I weighed my bike's ends independently, then I got a stand and put that on the scales.
Zeroed the scales to allow for the weight of the stand and then balanced the bike on top of it.
Came to the same weight as before.

With weighing yourself by your legs independently, you can easily transfer your weight more or less on one foot to give different readings, whereas it's not possible on a bike (unless your adding or taking off weight as your weighing it).
That make sense?

[Skunk]

The weight each wheel puts on the ground is constant (when the bikes not moving). (Human bodies don't do that very well but something stiff like a bike does.) Well, there would be a slight discrepancy due to the suspension but not much.
It's quite valid.

Must be something in the water in Norf Welly

[Trudes]

Thanks Nudez and Skunk! Yes, makes sense to me now, and makes me feel better that you have tested it also by weighing the bike on the centre stand, which is a great idea. Cheers:niceone:

[FROSTY]

I thought you had to have the "other" wheel resting on a surface the same height as the scales for it to be semi accurate

[Sully60]

I thought you had to have the "other" wheel resting on a surface the same height as the scales for it to be semi accurate

Yeah I think you've got a point there Fosted one.

The other way of looking at it is the contact point of the tyre across the width of the scale would have to be consistent eveytime you did it.

With the one wheel on the ground the ground technique you are effectively measuring the force generated by the mass of the bike through a 2nd class lever. The fulcrum is the axle of the wheel on the ground , the bike is the load and the effort/force is what the number on the scales. If you move the wheel that sits on the scales the force will change as the relationship between the fulcrum and the effort point changes slightly. Frosty's idea alters the height of the fulcrum which can also affect the result.

In saying all this it's splitting hairs really as the width of a set of bathroom scales are relatively small as is the weight and length of the bike, so any inconsistencies are going to be even smaller.

So, as you were...

[nudemetalz]

Yes, I know what you guys are saying, but the difference is miniscule IMO.

However, I decided to test the theory. (yup, Mythbusters NZ-style:2thumbsup ).

46kg's on the front wheel with rear wheel on the deck.
45kg's on the front wheel with the rear wheel level with the front.
(I assume the rear would do the same)

Not a lot of difference unless you're a MotoGP team.

(Oh and apologies Skunk)

Just to humour an old man --could ya repeat the exersize for the back wheel.

[nudemetalz]

Just to humour an old man --could ya repeat the exersize for the back wheel.

Alrighties, since you asked nicely...I did it

The rear was 42 kgs bike level and 43 kgs rear up.
I thought well that makes sense with more weight to the rear than if the rear was up, so I had got the front around the wrong way....:argh:
The correct weight for the front is 45kgs up and 46 kgs level.
Hence 88kgs both measurements.

Did I humour the old man ?? :clap: ;)

[quallman1234]

145kg, doesn't seem right!

Surely not.

Try this maybe?

Get a piece of wood long enough to put your bike on.

Measure the weight of the wood, then put the wood on the scales and put the bike on top of it, balancing it with you hand (should be minimal extra weight doing that).

Then minus the weight of the wood off the total weight of the two?

Something like that would be a bit more accurate i would imagine, oh and make sure the scales are close to the middle.

Or if you have a stand, just balance it on the stand on the scale.
we did that with the dirt bikes and it seems accuratish.

[Sully60]

HOW did you manage to make the ZX sooooo heavy??




145kg, doesn't seem right!

Surely not.



Yeah, considering the C model roadbike only weighed 141kg dry.

The 125T engine is bloody heavy but not 4kgs more than the ZXR engine, headlight, bodywork and all the associated roadbike guff that we rip off.

Get off the bike next time you measure it Skunk!

[quallman1234]

Ohhhhhhh its the ZX my bad, thought it was the AX.

Honestly is the dry weights ever accurate.
Ive heard they take everything possible out, etc fork oil, oil, fliuds.

But still 145kg is on the heavy side. At least it looks good.

[koba]

hehe gunna nick some scales to weigh the pitty...

[Slingshot]

Just weighted Frankie, she's roughly 77Kgs.

I've never weighed it, I already know it's bloody heavy.

I don't call it the Leadsled for nothing!

I shall purloin some scales and weigh the thing, maybe I could get the coppers to meet me at the weigh station on Hutt Road on the way to work tomorrow, that should handle it eh?

I got the beachbuggy weighed at silverstream tip, it was $5 for a printout.
The beach buggy was 660kg sopping we fully loaded or 450kg dry.
The scales should be able to handle measuring the leadsled as they do big trucks up there. :lol:

[koba]

Ok, finally got some scales.
Will weigh the pitty when it aint so cold outside.
I was having a play with the old racebike I wanna turn into a bucket.
With the 600 motor in it the weight on the front wheel was 64.9kg.
Bummed out by not being able to wiegh the back without help :angry2: Damn fussy digital scales!

Will try to get the weight of the rear so I can see how the narrower wheels and smaller engine effect it.

I dunno if the bucket motor I have in mind will be any lighter tho...

[nudemetalz]

Does the pitbike register the scales at all ? ;)

[koba]

Does the pitbike register the scales at all ? ;)

:lol: It may not!
Going to check tonight.
I Am really keen as to get the back of the old racebike done too, it may be lighter than skunks bucket with a 600 in it!!!

[Sully60]

Come on sully 147 twin ?????kgs Yours that is

Well after much procrastination and subsequent harranging I have finally weighed the sled.

With a couple of litres of fuel, oil and the twin exhaust system it weighs 109kg.

That's lot of kg's!

I'm not saying what the all up weight of bike and rider is:nono:

[nudemetalz]

Sheez, Sully !!! :blink:

Your rider/bucket combination may need a plimsoll line....:msn-wink::bleh::lol:

[Skunk]

Fuckin lightweight... :mellow:

[koba]

FINALLY!

I weighed the pitbike.

56.4 kg all up :banana:

Lighter than me...

[Skunk]

I reweighed the ZX1R: 155kgs.
The AX1R: 92kgs.

I blame the pies...

[nudemetalz]

sheeezus....155kg !!!!!!!:eek:
You gonna have to get 50hp out of the ZX1R now you know !!!

[speedpro]

I reweighed the ZX1R: 155kgs.
The AX1R: 92kgs.

155Kgs - bloody hell!!

My McIntosh "only" weighs 200Kg and I was thinking that was heavy.

155Ks is close to double my FZR/MB. Have you tried heating the frame to melt the lead and let it run out???

[Skunk]

Fuck. That was too easy...

Weighed in old red today, 104kg with full fluids and about 3l of petrol. Bit less than I was expecting although manual says 125kg and its still fairly stock, bar removal of all road gear and 17" wheels.

The smaller L/h carb would have saved some weight.

[k14]

As I said, apart from 17"s it is pretty damn close. Different seat and no road equipment is about all thats done, oh and no starter motor and rewired electrics.

Nah I managed to find another carb to match the right one, she's gonna be flying thats for sure :yes: :scooter:

Guys we have scales down at the kart track and our CB Twin was 105kg, loaded with fuel.
Not sure what the FXR/Loncin 150 is, but will see if we can weigh it at the next meeting.

[Buddha#81]

Seems to have worked for Buddha? :cool:

Terminal velosity.........:shit:

[koba]

had the scales out today.

RG150 frame = 14.5 kg. ( with a few extra coats of paint)
RG150 Swingarm = 5.5kg

KLR600 engine with carb = 48.6kg

NSR250 MC18 frame and swingarm together = 12.7kg (this has a seperate subframe unlike the rg)
My subframe (could be lightened for a bucket) = 5.8kg

[quallman1234]

had the scales out today.

RG150 frame = 14.5 kg. ( with a few extra coats of paint)
RG150 Swingarm = 5.5kg


I swear its heavier!

[koba]

I swear its heavier!

Yeah, I was surprised there isn't more difference.
I may try that one again just to make sure I got it right.

[speedpro]

RG150 Swingarm = 5.5kg


How do you make a swingarm that heavy?? Or does that include suspension link and shock??

[koba]

How do you make a swingarm that heavy?? Or does that include suspension link and shock??

Nope, it may have had the bearings in it but nothing more.

They are all steel and Beefy, Bannana kinda bit on the right side and MASSIVE link bit between the two sides.
I think in trying to make it look like a sporty alloy one they wern't to worried about weight.
Mine may have had some water in if from sitting outside but it has been stored with almost 6 months to dry out...

[quallman1234]

How heavy's the RG's engine? 15-25? its not that heavy

[koba]

How heavy's the RG's engine? 15-25? its not that heavy

Pretty sure it would be over 20, maybe more like 30.
That is still pretty light.
I will check next time I have a complete one out.

[SHELRACING]

My next project is a FXR150 Motor in a FZ Deltabox frame.

Frame, Rear shock and Swingarm 20kg, balanced on the bathroom scales.
( must remember to put those back before she gets home, aye :innocent: )


The Fx150 motor was 27kg, but the cams and piston are out cos the motor is all blowed up.

Anyone interested in a thread on the build of the FZ/FXR bucket. Input from some of you fellas would be most helpful. :2thumbsup

[F5 Dave]

um, ok here's an idea. Why not put the fixed FXR engine back in the FXR? They seem to handle just fine & fairly light.

[speedpro]

FZR has lots better running gear, 3LNs anyway though the earlier 2KRs are OK

[dangerous]

Reasonable question.

FXR motor came in bits in a box, rooted, repairs not vaiable
FXR frame was modified (slightly to take the Loncin Motor)
We want a second F4 bike.
Looked at Speedpro's 3ln based machine. Which impressed
Got the frame, and a lot of the running gear.
Need a new project so I don't drive the misses up the wall.

Be an interesting bike don't ya think ??

[F5 Dave]

Erm, no I'm still confused.


So you have a frame etc & an engine but it is:
"FXR motor came in bits in a box, rooted, repairs not vaiable"

So you are going to fix a non-Viable engine?

Or have to buy another FXR to scoop the engine out of? If you do I have a mate who wants FXR rolling chassis.

[Skunk]

I understand it as he has a Loncin motor and FXR frame, and a broken FXR motor... :confused: But that don't make sense either.


My next project is a FXR150 Motor in a FZ Deltabox frame.

[speedpro]

The FZR chassis is light and way better than the FXR. Standard wheel and brake setups are better as well though the front(and rear) calipers are heavier than needed on a bucket. The FZR though 20 odd years old was built as a sport bike rather than a budget commuter and is still better even 20 years later.

I bought the FXR150 with a motor removed and dissassembled for $200

So I had a good rolling chassis, and put a new loncin motor in it.

The FXR motor was taken apart by kid. all the components were thrown in a box. The crank and bearings are shot. All the major engine components are there. But on the face of a quick reassembly. Minor ( i mean minor ) components may be missing, but a hassle to replace.

The motor is good for parts Barrel, head, cams etc, and is not for sale

So I have a good reliable 'B' grade bucket. FXR Chassis running a Loncin motor.

MY next project is to build another bike. I am looking at but not committed to an FXR150 engine in a FZ Deltabox frame. I have an almost complete rolling chassis, and would need to buy a S/H FXR motor. If I can buy a motor (when finances allow) for $500-600, the blown motor is not viable to repair.
A motor from a wrecker $750 which is a bit steep

When the project bike is built
I get a new bike
My misses gets the FXR/Loncin. She loves it a great bike for her and she doesn't mind spending money on the project bike.

Going back to the issue of weighing your bike While I was up in Auck I put the FXR/Loncin on the Kart track scales.

The scales are big enough to take the whole bike. Results as follows

Whole bike 103.5 KG
Front wheel footpegs Level with platform 50kg
Rear Wheel footpegs Level with platform 52.5kg

The front wheel / rear wheel method works, with only kg difference. Surprised me how close the readings were.

85kgs for the AX and 145kgs for the ZXWasn't a bad guess (being complete bullshit) after all.

Weighed the beast.

40ish each end, quite well balanced believe it or not. Probably why it feels so light generally.

MotoFXR150 41.5kg on the front and 51.5kg rear, 93kg......not too bad for a fairly standard fxr with a tailpiece. The rear would drop more if I took the GSXR wheel out and put the slightly lighter FXR one back in.

Yeah but the poor thing has to dribble around with my 105kg fat arse on it. Don't get too hung up on the weight (unless you're battling for the lead), you could knock 10kg off it and a young fulla on the same bike weighing 55kg may kick ya arse. 10kg's a tank of gas.

79.5kg for my AX1R. The secret diet is going well. It's got to get under the riders weight...

[bungbung]

d'oh, my bucket was 94kg, I wasn't :weep:

[Korea]

Weighed the RG/RX125 - 101kgs with 1/3 of a tank of go-juice. Surely should be some weight savings to be had yet though... :yes:

Checked my new 2 stroke I was a bit disapointed 42.4 rear 44.4 front 86.8 total,

That was a typo. The TZR loncin weighed 94kg wet, maybe 3 or 4l of gas on board. I still weigh 104kg in leathers though

[Trudes]

You have an excuse though, you're really tall.... and your leathers are really tight!!!:niceone:

Thats good for a fxr I have hacked most of the unwanted of mine and got it down to 103kg wet .Are you still running the standard swinging arm ? What was the biggest saving you found cheers Rick

[dangerous]

What was the biggest saving you found cheers Rick unwanted shit in the engine... balance shaft, starter gears, kick shaft, its amazing the weight off all that shit and dont forget the hp used to rotate it for no reason.






having a TZR frame helps tho

Getting rid of the FXR frame didnt hurt, fxr swingarm is about 6 kg by itself

Probably gained a bit of weight inthe wheels dept

[Rick 52]

Cheers guys I have lots of work to do then .
The delta looks great nice work
