Have you got some large scales handy
currently out of the bikes and available for weighing I have a 955 engine along with engines from a 600 Monster and a 748 and if my mate gets his finger out possibly would be able to weigh a 900SS engine as well
From lifting them at various times I would say they are all quite heavy, heavier than my ZXR400 engine and my R6 engine and my Fireblade engine even my TL1000 engine feel lighter than the 600 engine

Hmmm ... shame oxford isnt an easier journey or I'd bring my bathroom scales over !
I'm enjoying the low-speed smoothness of the 748 so much compared to the 900SS lump in the beast that I am wondering how much heavier it would be if I put an 851 lump back into it !

MORE QUESTIONS!!!

theres plenty of ice around at the moment,but?
how come the battery "acid" has'nt froze in my battery? the coolant has got anti freeze the window washer fluid also has anti freeze the vodka in the freezer hasnt turned to ice either cos its alcohol i know so why hasnt the battery fluid got anti freeze in it and it aint alcohol either?????
the answer is possibly basic school science but i dont know?

Simple really, it has a high content of hydrogen chloride (hydrochloric acid), which the freezing point as around -114degC.
Your battery acid will freeze well above this point though, because there's a high water content which , as we all know, freezes at 0degC.

So depending on the percentages of HCl and H2O that you have in your battery, the mixture will freeze at somewhere between -114 and 0.

thankyou!!!!lets hope it doesnt get that cold!!

Just a few more days of this Quiz and then I shall be consulting with my fellow judges about awarding the prize. Let's have a final spurt of questions to make it worthwhile.

I think I'll start a poll to get votes from the few people who've been paying any attention to this whatsoever throughout February. :lol::lol::frog:

OK - showing my total lack of knowledge...
