2003 kat 600

does anyone know how much roughly a kat 600 motor weighs?

[FloridaKat]

I'm going to take a guess....figuring the whole bike weighs around 457 lbs. then subtract....

frame = 60 lbs?
wheel/rims = 30 lbs?
fairings = 10 lbs?
handlebars/forks = 30 lbs?
Assorted electronics/cables = 10 lbs?
Battery = 10 lbs?
Seat = 5 lbs?
Fuel tank (dry) = 15 lbs?

~287 lbs., but don't quote me on that.

this is what i know
forks 35
tires and rims 60
and i know i can pick up the motor with ease
if i had to guess i would say anywhere from 120 to 180
can anyone confirm anything?

About 150-ish . I've heard most people say about 160-180 for shipping purposes . Yeah , If I can pick one up , it ain't no 287lbs . 120 is WAY light ( sure it's heavier than that) , and 180 seems a bit much , so I'm sticking with 150-160lbs .

I'm surprised Special K hasn't chimed in with the exact answer. I know he has shipped lots of motors through the years. I bet he knows off the top of his head.

hmm... wonder if it's on here somewhere.....

What do ya know... looky here what I found.

.....I have shipped over 12 Kat engines. They weigh 185 - 200 pounds, including the pallet, depending on whether or not you include the alternator and starter......

185 including pallet, thanks, so im guessing 160-180 without

[Special K]

180 lbs roughly

Thanks Greg - you're too fast!

[Court93kat]

No problem Keith.

That's what I spend all day on here for.

Most pallets weigh like 30-40ish lbs . I throw them around often enough at work .
