Replace the stock exhaust; a simple small slip-on will reduce weight by a lot. Replacing the battery or simply getting rid of it can also shed quite a few pounds.

Can a CBR250R electrical system be run without the battery?
Even if it can, you would have to bump start it.

 

Spinning class?

 

I forgot to suggest diet/exercise for the rider. Thought of it after the fact.

 

Or remove the battery after getting it running if you are going to the track or something. I ran mine a week without a battery (bump starting) because it had an issue that was covered under warranty.

 

Why lighten a bike thats already below 400 pounds?

 

Why not?

 

The stock clip ons are heavy steel. After market ones have to be lighter. Once you add a slip on or complete system, you could remove the rear passenger peg brackets and replace the one the the muffler attaches to with an after market hanger. The license plate bracket is easily removed. A smaller, lighter lithium ion battery. Remove the reflectors. Titanium bolts, axles? How much you wanna spend? Gas weighs about 6 lbs a gallon.

 

Diet?

 

a couple laps around the block, better diet, exercise. lol. but seriously... if you are obese... losing weight will help how your bike perform. if the bike weighs 350lbs and you weight 175 then you make up one third if the total weight being carried by the hp and torque. losing weight WILL effect the bikes handling and speed. not saying to starve yourself but for those of you that are over 200+ lbs (no offense intended)... you are robbing the bike of its potential.

 

Your guys joking makes you seem like real ass holes. He was asking about losing weight on the bike not his person. Guess you guy are having a hard time reading.

Through a slip on muffler and various removal and milliing and redesigning i've removed 15lbs off my bike.

 

You're right and I apologize to the OP for joking but my diet-related response seemed more light-hearted (no pun intended) than "use the search function" as the question has been asked quite a few times.

 

If you're overweight (I need to shed some pounds... Kilograms for you non-US brethren), it will help a lot since it is best to have a low center of gravity. If you're a normal weight, then there is the option of going to a lithium battery. I use Shorai in a different bike and it is incredibly light. Losing weight on a bike can be expensive, such as going with carbon fiber.

 

Lol i laughed out loud on this one

Go for a run.

 

hey I'm only 145 lbs and I train hard as **** every day but I just though I could get the bike faster with removing a couple of things thanks to those who didn't think I was a fat a**
