weight loss 4th gen

Recommended Posts

The cush drive deletion must have eliminated quite a bit of unsprung weight at the back. How much weight was eliminated? I'm also wondering, wouls there be any negative effect on the output shaft bearing and seal life when the cush drive is deleted on a bike? I could imagine that the drive shock/stress on those would be increased somewhat.

Dutchy, do you have a spare Akra exhaust ? That would be awesome :)

Wheel is Marvic rc30 5.5" and I think it was 7 lbs. The front is the match, in a 900rr front end.

So far the Axle went from 7 lbs to 5.5, but the Cush and sprocket went from 7.5 lbs to 1.5 ;) There will be a little more stress on the output shaft with no cush, but this won't be my touring bike. The 99 800 is for that. The RC30, NC30, NC35, etc all came from Honda with no cush drive.

Subframe went from 10.3 lbs to 2.7 lbs

more to come
