What is the actual weight of my bike?

This may seem like a newbish question but I have seen reports and specs listed all over the internet ranging from 436 lbs all the way to 500+ lbs. I realize I have to account for my rack and crash bars, but throwing that aside, what is the ACTUAL weight of the ktm adventure? Wet/dry?

454.7 lbs dry. It's in the owners manual:)

Crash bars, luggage rack, gas , oil,tool kit etc. Don't plan on riding her under 500 lbs.

Which I do not have unfortunately. Bought used.

Dang, didnt realize I was that heavy... :/
690 R is looking more attractive everyday...

536 lbs.



(we're playing "guess my" weight right?).

Get a couple of bathroom scales and roll 'er up.

Most truck scales are on even when closed. Take a run to your local weigh station.

Just gas it and hang on ... I'm still looking for where she hides that poundage every time I get on the big ole girl

You can say that again, But when they are upright they are the best in the land. No 690 would do.

Agreed!

You can get a PDF copy of your owner's manual at:

You can get them at the official KTM site too, but the other one is easier.

Take your worst estimate and add 50 lbs. Seriously. I had my bike trimmed of all excess weight (single exhaust, single front brake rotor, Talon hub, no crash bars, no rear racks, no luggage rack, etc.) for a big rally and it still weighed in at over 450lbs with only 2 gallons of fuel. They are big bastards.

Just ride into a truck weigh station, let us know what they say!

told ya.....

hey CJ how heavy is the AWD bike?



or how heavy is this one?

2008 Adventure, fuel topped, with KTM crashbars, Gobi side & topcase brackets, few tools and double tire irons under the seat.

Read 254,5 kg (561lbs) and without 9,5 kg (21 lbs) plank, beast is 245 kg (540 lbs).
Quite close Geek

jesus christ. I thought I at least was under 500lbs with the thing

Someday I might see how much of the bike I can replace with carbon fiber. Maybe I will ditch my pannier mounts for a giant loop. Though I feel like those things add some protection to my exhaust.

We are such a bunch of Nerds...
I love it!

Q~

huh? I am the king of cool

Here is what I've noticed about these bikes. They have a way of making one think that scales lie. Drop her into gear, let out the clutch and a 150lbs disappear.
