    Teza you can do it with bathroom scales ;)

    You just need to put a block of wood the same height as the scales under the other wheel, then weigh each end and add it up.

    It may also pay to put a bit of ply on the scales to spread the load over the deck of the scales.

    I weighed the DRZ and it came in just under 140 kg’s. :(

    The 350 weighed about 113 kg’s, the tank was about 3/4 full. :)

    My back loves the weight loss :) Now to convince the Wife thats a good thing :whistle:

    Thanks Adam,I did try that this morning,but I didn’t use a block under the other wheel, the rmx came up at 114 kg with about 5 lts of fuel,which I thought was a bit light on. I’l try it again with the block.
    27kg is a good weight lose from the old DRZ to the 350,got to love that.
    Cheers Teza.
