It's a heavy bike. It always will be.
The mainstand weighs a tonne. As does the exhaust. Although replacing the exhaust is not necessarily a great idea, you can upset things greatly. That said, those CZ exhausts are NOT an expansion chamber setup, they are just baffled (extensively).
I personally would be tempted to replace it with a MZ TS125 one if you can find it. If anything, it's probably heavier.
Removing the airbox is not necessarily a great idea. Don't chuck it out so if it runs like a bagowank you can put it back on again.
Relacing the wheels with alloy rims would decrease unsprung weight which is always a worthwhile exercise. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”
I did the 2010 Round Britain Rally on my 350 Bullet. 89 landmarks, 3 months, 9,500 miles. |
