After so many times that i put the bikes on the scales, i got a weight for my bike. However that weight does not make sense compare to the Kawasaki claim (374.8lbs), The lightest weight that i got from the scales was 385.4lbs which is 10.6lbs heavier than the Kawasakai claim!!!!! Just the orginal muffler and licence plate holder are over 20lbs and i already remove more things from the bike plus all the modifications that i did together added less than 10lbs to the bike so according to Kawasaki the weight must be 365lbs but it is not!
Now, i dont' want to call the Kawasaki liar but whatever it is, it is one of these things:
1. The scales are not sharp enough or do not work properly.
or
2. Kawasaki took away other things like battery liquid, suspention oil, gearbox vasgazine, tires air, and some other things or even parts that i am not aware off.
or
3. Kawasaki lied about their true dry weight.
Note: i did NOT empty the battery, suspention, gearbox, or tires liquids! i only emptied the engine oil, radiator liquid, front and rear brake, and the gas tank.

I tried so many times to get the bike weight! The best weight that i got was 175.2kg=385.44lbs which was 68.1on the rear wheel, 30.2 under the kick stand, and 76.9 under the front wheel.

In some other times i got:

1. 175.9kg=386.98lbs whcih was 68.6kg under the rear wheel, 30.7kg under the kickstand, and 76.6kg under the front wheel.

2. 392lbs=178.1818kg which was 150.4lbs under the rear wheel, 73.0 under the kickstand and 168.6lbs under the front tire.

3. 390.8lbs=177.63kg which came from 147.4lbs under the rear wheel, 76.8lbs under the kick stand, and 166.6lbs under the front wheel.

I am start to think that the front and rear suspention oil, gearbox vasgasine, battery liquid, and tire air does take a big amount of weight that manufactories prefer to give out their dry weight product. At this point i don't want to call the Kawasaki liar becasue i am not sure how much the other liquid material on my bike weights plus these cheap scales that are expensive to purchase but dont cost even half the price are not sharp enough.
