I think about 70 kg, I could lift the engine zx9r build 1998 easy toegether with my brother.

The zx9r engine build from '98 towards 2003 are cable operated clutches.The engine before 98 were clutch hydraulic operated... someone will correct me if I'm wrong..

Sounds about right.....

Yes, spot on with the clutch, weight, 65-70kg ish. I was able to pick up the engine out the boot of the car to the garage, so I don't think that it can be more than 70kg or I'm entering for next year Strong Man Competition!

Cheers

Ian

If you want to use this engine try to get the E Series, they have a stronger gearbox than than the C series I have.

I think the E engine is from year 2000.
There is a modification to the C series engine to enhance the gearbox, it's been talked before here on the forum..
