And.....this is the introduction to the posts that will follow with why we should weigh with full RTR. Let the chit barrage start.
Personally I like the way Carls Cycle weighs (everything but fuel). It just takes out the variable of different sized tanks.
Of course it's a debatable topic. Always is every year. I was just more curious to see what the actual weight was aside from the marketing hype "dry" weights which we all know are subjective....
Read the link above, sleds are full of everything except gas! Not dry weights....
"We had a 2013 PRO 155" in the store this week and put it on the scales. It came in 16lbs lighter than the 2012. This sled is a demo and has 700 miles in it.
We weigh sleds "wet" which means full of antifreeze, oil reservoir topped off and chaincase fluid(which there is non on the 2013 PRO). The gas tank is completely drained.
The weights below were all measured on our scales(Longacre Racing Products computer scales) and these are "wet" weights. All sleds were new and assembled out of the crate, except for the 2013 PRO which has 700 miles on it.
2013 PRO 155" 438 lbs
2012 PRO 155" 454 lbs
2012 M8 153" 496 lbs
2012 ETEC 800 154" 501 lbs"
nope..polaris over the last 3-4 yrs has been using vinned sleds for the spring demos..which means they arnt prototypes..if they used protos, they would have a red sticker on the tunnel and no vins...all the demo sleds are vinned 2013 sleds..actual production sleds....Looking for a production weight not prototype. Unless you've been riding in south America I'm thinking 700 miles means spring prototype.

Or, as stated above, we have the lightested and best sled on the snow no matter what snowmobiler thinks.
