How much does a jen 2 Vmax weigh

[rusty]

I just sat on a new Jen 2 Vmax at North County House of motorcycles/ It felt very heavy compared to my Jen1 which is about 525 pounds

683 Wet.

How did you get your Gen 1 down to 525 lbs.?

I think they are 610 wet or so stock.

My owners manual says 476lb dry

I have no Idea where the dry numbers come from, but the 610 wet number is more realistic. Nobody rides a "dry" motorcycle anyway.

That should be 576 dry...that's the correct dry weight.

The Gen 2 is approx 75 lbs heavier...wet or dry.

The Gen 2 definitely feels heavier when sitting on it or pushing it around. Once you are rolling at speed that all changes and it feels more nimble and extremely stable.

If either of my Vmaxes get too wet, I put on rain gear and try to keep riding. lol

Aaaaaaaaaaa, gee.........I dunno - about 2 1/2 lbs, I suspect, without currently owning any hens. Turkeys are considerably heavier. :ummm:unk:


Oh wait. I was supposed to ask "What's a henway?", wasn't I? So busy here looking for my carb chains, I completely blew that one!

I thought the manual says the gen one is 634

I know. I totally blew that one. I should have played it straight and played along. I guess I don't make a good team player. :bang head::biglaugh:

I guess your right/ I looked it up again/624 lb:confused2:

 

[EAGLEPI]

If you have after market exhaust that changes the weight but the specs say,
Dry WeightCurb Weight: 683 lb. (California model: 686 lb.)

If anyone is interested I got the info here;

It is definitely heavier than a gen 1

He's no good at this Rick!

Oh...what the hell, we'll give him another chance. :rofl_200:

About 2600lbs - the tractor, of course. I have no idea how much a Brockway truck rig would weigh, as I've never seen one in person.

....aw crap, there I did it again. :bang head::biglaugh:

Crap....to be honest I had no clue what Rick was referring to.

I thought brockway was what you get with the beef when you order number #12 at the Chinese take-out. :confused2:
