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 !

Phil have you tried phoning people like Tony Brancato & John Baines between them you may get the answers you need, Steve Hilary and Louigi may also be able to help.

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.

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.

Another question!

Why is it my little Fiat got through the snow quite happily at 35-40mph this morning, but these big 4x4 X5's, Range Rovers etc. seem to struggle to get above 15mph????
