For those who care: Weight of L18 vs MCX

[Ole Miss Rebels]

In 2008 I traded my 2005 Xstar with MCX for a 2008 Xstar with L18. I immediately noticed after my first ride that the wake was different (slightly steeper and peakier). I have wondered since that time two years ago how much more the L18 weighs than the MCX with a V drive transmission. Today I found out from Indmar that the MCX Vdrive set-up weighs right at 800 lbs. The L18 with Vdrive set-up weighs 1030 lbs. Those 230 lbs made the perceptible difference that I noticed on my maiden voyage when it was just my wife and myself. That is just a little FYI for anyone who cares. Now, how much do the RTP and LY6 Vdrive set-ups weigh? Just curious. Does anybody know?

RTP/MCX to LY6 add 60 lbs

I guess I'd better have 2 ladies ride laying on the sunpad for the extra weight.

"honest officer, the girls make my WAKE bigger" :D
