Weight saving?

[Darkside]

I’m speculating you could loose more weight taking all the e-start stuff off, remove the battery (perhaps a capacitor instead). But I like e-starts. My Beta 4T evo (Trials) starts incredibly easily. Just push the kicker through to start it. But I would still like an e-start for it. (But of course I problay wouldn’t like the weight).

Lotus, I think you may be right. It might have been the opposite. He went to kicker only and removed all the estart stuff

Just get fitter and stronger and it won't matter

If that was going to happen, it would have happened already. I'm afraid I'm on the downhill slide going the other way.

Any idea what the thread was called or how old it is?

There is nothing online for performance upgrades (excluding exhaust): no Vertex high compression piston or Hot Cams racing cams

bummer, but I'm ok with the power. I mean, after riding the RE I kind of wish I bought that instead but I'm not really regretting anything. I'd be cool with shedding some weight and a powerbomb header. Unsprung weight is one thing I might work on. Ti rotor/sprocket bolts aren't that expensive. Maybe a RE harness and strip all the lights off.

Don't get hung up on weight
Just get fitter and stronger and it won't matter

Why not do both?

I can't tell the difference between lifting a 110 kg bike or a 105 kg bike
Especially when it's covered in mud
And 5kg saving worth of light weight parts will cost a fortune
