I have a 2006 M7 and Id like to put it on a deit what cost effective weight loss can I do

The cheapest way is to eliminate everything you don't need. ANy guages, etc. Then a lightweight can can save up to 10 lbs over stock.

yes the can is one thing that Im not able to do because next year the sled gets slp pipes and can and the website looks like ther differnt cans for the preformace pipes and I dont want to ruine my warrenty by putting it on today

The next thing is to change all the idlers to billet wheels to shave weight

rip off the seat, run only enough gas/oil/fluids you need for the day. every gallon is 8 lbs. you could drill some holes in the track, it would look like swiss cheese afterwards but will take a lot off. i wouldnt drill the track unless you are serious about mountain riding. holes will cause less flotation when you go slow but will be more than enough when moving.

another option is to put yourself on a diet

ya losing pounds yourself is always good, should try myself sometime.

I only weigh 165lb + or - 5lb dipending on how meny cases of aiming fluid Ive had lately

so ther isnt much for me to lose

the whole track sounds like a week link??? but I can see the pounds falling of the sled

like the fliuds tip a m7 haas 11 gallon fuil and about .75 gallon oil??? I think
