This started out with a full jerry can/harness on the back, full of oil, antifreeze, and a full tank of gas!

There is no way that came in at 478. something pounds....what gives?

Sledslut..... That weight posted is "as delivered" right? That would be just a sip of fuel, and low coolant, and oil and chain case levels, right?

Ether that or it has a real small gas tank

no its not. i watnted to fill it with fuel and oil but they wouldnt do it. cuz the scale was only good to 550lbs.

all we did was uncrate a new sled. so all that was done to it was NOTHING!!

uncrated has NO GAS, NO ENGINE OIL. is full of coolane, and chain case oil.

you have to remember guys that "dry weight" is dry weight.

thats no coolant in the system at all, no oil in the motor, chain case, shocks or brake fluid.
from factory they ship them with coolant full to where they DONT have to run the motor we top it up at pdi. has 250ml of chain case oil for the chain case, brake fluid and shocks are all setup.


that night was at our open house and we had a draw on the closest weight. we had people look at that going thats not true bla bla bla.

when we weighed the sled. we hooked up all the cables to the scale then zeroed the scale. then hooked up the cables and lifted the sled with the fork lift..

it is what it is so believe it or not, thats what we came up with.



im going to get a wet weight asap! in that im meaning full of fuel, oil and ready to ride.

Ah I was wondering why that sled was on the fork lift...I was like WTF are they doing with that, it looked as though someone was hanging it from the handle bars.

So 478 dry weight with e-start/battery installed? not to bad. Few pounds very the limenine vinyl as well.

Wow, guys.....guys, I hate to say it, but read the whole post, she clearly said it was RIGHT OUT OF THE CRATE. So yes, very little fluids in the sled. I am guessing it is going to weigh in at 519 lbs. 40 L of gasoline doesn't weigh 70 lbs. Add some oil, and coolant. Has anyone ever weighed there 08 or newer summit 154" track, electric start, with after market can. Those cans must take away 3 lbs or more.

[doohead]

Sledslut.....what does your Nytro weigh in at.......lol...wet? Sorry, that doesn't sound good. Just curious though. Thanks. Mind you I guess you probably don't know because the scale you have only goes to 550 lbs. Give me an educated guess.

[sledslut]

yeah the reason we didnt weight the sled wet also was that we didnt want to go over 550lbs and bust the scale that was only rated to 550lbs i would have done mine if we could have.

but for an educated guess i would say WET 600 - 630lbs. i will know a closer guess when a buddy gets his scale in he ordered from the states. then we will also have the wet weight of his buddys 2009 xp wet as well as long as he lets him do that.

but its like compairing apples to oranges with that question.. its a 4 stroke not a two stroke. the motor alone is i would guess 80lbs heaver if not more.
one thing i did find out is that with the motor out of the Nytro and an XP the chassies are danm close to the same weight.


but the whole point in the thread isnt to make ppl mad whitch it seems to be pressing ppls buttons cuz its not what they were told or red with the 451 dry weight from the books.

P.S. the gravity pull must be different in the alberta weather then anywhere els tho to get such a higher number LOL jk

How many gallons does the tank hold on the XP 10.6 US Gallons, Gasoline is aprox 6 pounds per gallon so tank + the 2.5 in the gerry can??? 78.6 pounds buy my calculation device.

[sledslut]

thats what we were guessing at. i said about 68lbs for the tank of gas no gerry can..


so lets say for arguement sakes 470 + 65= 535lbs.. thats not too unrealistic

no weighted my dads 2010 xp on the truck weight scales and it came in at 528 thats with no eletric start. and thats with fuel, oil, and chaincase oil.

[sledslut]

ive done that too with mine, and u cant get a proper reading cuz the scale can not be zeroed or the truck has half a tank compaired to a full tank.. but really what were saying here realy isnt all that wrong.. ur saying its 7lbs lighter thats the difference of a MBRP can, or electric start or 6l of fuel. were not that far off.

I say your right on the money give or take a couple of pounds.

[doohead]

Ya I figured the fuel weighed less then 70 lbs for 40 L of fuel. So it about 63 lbs, so this will make the 2010 Summit XP weighing in at about 550 lbs wet. Pretty good guesses some of you made, I was off by 30 lbs. Does BRP say in their books that with ELECTRIC start it only weighs 454 lbs DRY. Thanks for the posts sledslut. If you ride a Yamaha, what do you really care what this sled weighs? Just curious. I bet Cat, Polaris, or Yamaha are not exact either. Are we comparing reg fuel or premium in the tank, that probably makes a slight difference too, lol. Are you putting a 50/50 mix coolant, that would make a difference too on how much water you are using, their is so many variables, lmao. Just kidding, I don't really care. I just like to ride a sled. I know the yamaha bravo i ride is lighter then all your sleds. lol.
