Engine weight?

03 Aug 2008 20:25 - 03 Aug 2008 20:26

Anyone know whar the weight of a KZ750 twin is? Just the engine, empty?
I am trying to figure out whether my rolling table will handle it.

Thanks!

If it helps I believe a 650 is about 150 lbs so I would think your 750 would be a little less.

My 750 twin is about 500 total, I would have guessed maybe 200 for the engine and gearbox but thats a rough guess.

Having lifted 650, 750 four, and 750 twin, engines by myself, I can tell you they are all about the same weight.

And that's around 170-180 lbs.

Actually, I recall putting a 650 motor (complete minus carbs) on a scale a few years ago, and IIRC, it weighed 175 +-5 lbs.
