When i changed the rims on my old girl the difference in weight between oem and new was shit Ive forgotten,5 or 6kg from memory,possibly just a tad more,the difference when riding the thing is far greater than that,1st ride i was thinking na no way,somethings not right,everything was fine it just felt like a completely different bike.Long ago i read an article on rotating mass but so long ago Ive forgotten the details,a little off track..but.I look back on all the bikes Ive had and bought exhausts etc for in search of better performance,if i had my time again the 1st thing i would have done is ditch the oem rims instead of believing the rather questionable claims made by many exhaust manufacturers re hp, and weight savings.
