I love my 1250. She seems heavier each passing year. I would like to know how to get her to lose a little weight.

Go on a diet and lose 10 pounds?
I added stebel, bar risers, gel seat, speed healer. I think things are going the wrong way.
Spend a few days on an ST1300......you'll be amazed how light Suzi feels after that!
You can do things like carbon fiber BST wheels, aluminum handlebars, run lighter weight oil, fill the tires with Helium, remove the gas tank, and ditch the passenger!

On the move she's lithe. I have to push her around the garage now often and since I turned 70, she's heavy.

I was thinking remove any body parts not necessary and even abs, etc.

Spend a small fortune on TI hardware. Full exhaust first you will probably drop 25 or more pounds over a factory system with a full TI exhaust
Replace bolts with TI bolts
TI Axles gun drilled
Carbon Fiber Wheels
You should be able to spend about 3 times what a few year old bike is worth with no problem if you want to drop weight

The Full Ti exhaust on my ZRX is 9 pounds including a full length exhaust can, stock header alone was over 30 pounds plus the exhaust can
No full ti for 1250

Three months give you plenty of time to work on the but Honey story
Honey wants me to buy a new car. My 1993 Sentra is practically new with 25k miles on it. Course the brake lines are a little furry.

7 yrs ago I had to lose 50 lbs due to finding out I had a heart condition. The difference that made on the way my '07 Bandit and '00 KLR worked was amazing.
I am not overweight, 6'1", 178 lbs. I am dieting realizing I should be at the lower end of the spectrum. I hope this crowd has some references to hardware changes. Thanks Achesley. Spent some time in Baton Rouge over the years.

appendix?
I just had some mesh added due to moving my tire changing machine box after filling in the open spaces with more small tool boxes, tubing benders, etc.
I got rid of most of my hair awhile ago.
Boy, mention a little hernia correction or a little balding and the laughter dies down to whimper. There was some electrician in Alabama or somewhere who did lots of lightening but I can't find the posts.
