Weight reduction info

Post by Ride_on » 21 Aug 2012 01:17 am

Just been changing my rad in the 940 (non-AC), and though it was very light compared to my 360 rad. The 360 one was lying around the garage so I weighed them;

360 : 6 kg
940: 3.3 kg

Amazing the difference an Al+plastic rad has over a steel one.

The 940 only weighs about 1350 kg I think.
