Weighing your bike .
Have read how you can weigh your bike useing bathroom scales . Weigh front ,weigh back add it together .The none weighed wheel must be the
same height as the scales .Thought i'd try it .(2 people needed )
Tried the triumph first . Total weight 215 kg .less 4lts fuel = 4kg ,oil = 5 kg .toolkit 1kg ----= 205 dry kg .looked in manual 205 kg dry ...
Bandit =bugger the scales packed it in
My girlfriends brother used to weigh planes for a job .Waiting for a return phone call to confirm this method .Sounds dodgy but the numbers are right .
Any thoughts ,or some spare bathroom scales you can use ?
JUst found some more scales
Bandit - front 114 kg -back 102 kg -less 1lt fuel 1kg =215 kg with oil and coolant . less 6 kg for oil and water lets say 210 kg dry
manual says dry weight 222 kg . Time to weght box of bits.

That's how they weigh trucks on the highway these days Gus so its correct.

Or if you've got access to a cattle sale yard you can put it on their cattle scales
