Weight of a ZXR engine - FAO whoever asked the other day.

Post by deviant »

I know there was a thread on here with someone asking, but it's vanished into the ether with all the recent goings on.

Anyway, the answer is ABOUT 50kg

Thats for the engine alone, no carbs, oil cooler, rad, fluids, downpipes.
In the garage:
Kawasaki ZXR400 L3 - shiny
Suzuki DR800 - bouncy
1978 Suzuki GS400 - PROJECT RETRO RACER!
Kawasaki GPz500S - for sale soon
Honda CG125 BR-J - in bits

well yeah. over three days I had a ZXR engine and a VFR750 engine in and out of the back of the car. I did the ZXR on my own but couldn't do the VFR motor.

Cheers, it was me who asked!
when mine was couriered the courier firm found it to weight in at 47kgs on a minipallet, that was with a sump full of oil in it as-well.
I got mine couriered from manchester to gatwick for £55 cash on delivery and arrived two days later.
cheers
