Race battery

I'm pretty sure that's a full 2kg lighter than the current battery in the bike.  I'll double check at the weekend.


I've also had another think about the weight/power issue and don't think it's such a worry. The Alu TZ250 tank was 2.6kg.  I don't need anything that big so should easily be able save 3kg if I make an aluminium tank and fibreglass cover.  Besides this bike is 3X as power full as my MZ, it has proper suspension with adjusters to twiddle and learn and I wont have ridden a bike for 3 years by the time i get on track.  Being bang on the power/weight limit is the least of my issues.

UPDATE

I've weighed the old battery, this new one is almost 2.4kg lighter.
