Actual weight of DT 300
« on: January 23, 2018, 07:35:57 PM »
According to the numerous reviews of the DT the weight is listed as 367 pounds, which is similar to my Grand Vista 250, yet the DT seems heavier, so I went to the service manual and sure enough, the DT's weight is 189 kg, or 416 pounds, almost 40 pounds heavier!

Hi,

I guess one could try a lighter muffler in order to reduce the weight, any other recommendations?

Thanks
