Hayabusa engine weight
Anyone know roughly how much a busa engine weighs? I bought an electric winch from maplins which can lift 100KG max, it's under that right?

I thought they were around 92k - not that it matters, since both weights are under the 100k..

I dont believe it weighs 80kg when fitting to a car (it may do with all hoses and stuff connected and full of oil/coolant)
you really dont need a hoist, me and a friend picked mine up and just dropped it in.
I would say no more than 55kg

Sorry - went to edit my post and deleted the b*gger by mistake.
Last one I weighed was in the high 80's!
That was dressed, but no headers or airbox.
It's Evolution Baby!

maybe im stronger than I thought 
we put the engine in minus the airbox, throttle bodies and loom. and of course no oil or coolant.
mines an 09 engine but i dont believe it can make that much difference

Thanks everyone. I know i don't need a hoist really but it was only £20 in Maplins clearance so i couldn't resist.

Just go into Maplin's and it's in their clearance leaflet. Bargain i thought.

the usual figures quoted are about 60kgs for most 1000cc bike engines, and 90kgs for busa. I suppose that 30kgs is why its so strong!

Rig an eyebolt next to the winch and use a pulley on the engine, that way you have twice the lifting power, although that wil get you half the
purchase (Pull)
Beware of what you wish.. for it may come true....
