Well after checking over the new to me axys, Dielectric grease in the connections and relays, checking motor mounts, and setting belt deflection which was way off 2-3/8". I finally got the two side by side to compare. Starting with just picking the two up by the front bumper the 16 feels a lots heavier. The 16 is chaincase and e-start vs. belt drive and pull start of the 13. They both have empty fuel tanks and full oil tanks. Maybe between the e-start and chain case is the cause of it but it feels like more than 20lbs heavier though.
Standing on the boards and shifting weight back and forth from running board to running board the 13 moves a lot more. The handlebars move 4" on the 13 and 1-1/2'' on the 16, and with a pull on the handle bar the 13 comes up on edge way easier than the 16. The 13 does have offset spindles and adjustments to spring tension where the 16 is set to 39" with stock spring specs.
I want to find some flat ground and a couple more scales and do some weight comparisons. I really liked the way the pro handles and from all the reading it sounds like the axys is way more agile than the pro but goofing around in the yard it seems alot more planted.
Any comments or feedback is appreciated.
Thanks Rob
