Steel parts: center stand, subframes (front and rear), suspension parts
for front.
Really thick alluminum parts for the front swingarm and Omega Frame.
ABS, Cat, EFI computer
All heavy parts.
What was the weight on a 1993 FZR1000?
The best ways I can think of for lowering weight on the GTS is to change
the subframes to aluminum or titanium, remove centerstand, remove ABS,
Change back to carbs, remove Catalyst, and of course change the bodywork
to carbon fiber. :) Unfortunately after you remove all those components
what do you have? A FiZing GTS.
