Mountain Cat ES 153" (electric start) with tool kit, spare belt, windshield bag, oil tank filled to the top, with lithium battery (-11 lbs) and 5 gallons of fuel 524 lbs. Note: 3lbs subtracted from the 527 shown for the weight of the ratchet straps.
Ouch she’s still a heavy piggy lol

I will try and get it when I get back out to the shop.Can you fill it up to the top with fuel and reweigh it?
Which battery did u install?

Edit: I just checked the spec sheet that came with the sled and it states that the ES model comes with a 10.5 gallon tank.[/QUOTE said:My sled had enough fuel in the tank from the dealer to start and load. When I went down the street to fuel up it took 11.4 gallons so I suspect they have an 12 gallon tank.
It's a Shorai LFX27A3-BS12
That’s still a pretty big and heavy battery at 4.95lbs according to the website. Last time I weighed a stock car battery it was 12lbs., so you lost 7lbs. The starter motor and related mounting hard ware I’ll bet is at least 10lbs, plus there is a couple pounds of electrical cable and battery mounting hard ware. Plus the ES sled has the old heavy gas tank, non-ES tank is about 5lbs lighter. I’d guess you’re still close to 25lbs heavier than a nonES sled. Do that puts the non-ES under 550wet. But non-ES holds 1-2 more gallons of fuel, so who knows. I’ll weigh my non-ES MC 162 tomorrow RTR when i pick it up and see
boondocker97's math is right on the money. I filled it with fuel (11.7 gallons) and it came in at 569 minus 3lbs for the straps for a full wet weight of 566.
To put in prospective on just how far sled technology has come, I weighed my buddy's older Polaris 550 fan cooled 136" sled. It has a windshield bag, handle bar bag, taller seat, tool kit, 1/2 tank of fuel (just guessing 5 to 6 gallons) and no electric start. It weighed in at 528lbs minus the 3lbs for the straps.
Back in the day a guy would have bought a fan cooled sled for the lighter weight. I never would have guessed that it would weigh close to the same as a liquid cooled 800 153" with electric start!
No issues in cold weather? How cold do you usually see it?The lithium battery is actually lighter then what their website states!
It is worth noting that this battery is a LFX27L3-BS12 which was left over from my old Nytro. To fit the MC without extending the ground cable, you will need to use a LFX27A3-BS12. They are the same with the exception of the terminals being reversed.
