28 grams per ounce. Divide the grams by 28 to get ounces.

520/28=18.57oz

Sarge I just weighed my brand spanking new Saito 91 and it was 20.0 ounces. Mine is the GK version with the velocity stack and the new style muffler. My digital scale is brand new and I have checked it several times and it is also right on. Hope this helps

I have the older style muffler, which weighs 2 oz. The engine itself is 17 oz. Seems like the new muffler is 1 oz heavier than the old one.

Thanks everybody. The reason I wanted to know about the weight is because it's going on a UltraStick .60 and they tend to be nose heavy and I think with the Saito I might be able to get away with using no or very little weight. I think the Saito is even lighter than a OS .60.

I have 2 Saito .91s, one of each type. Both weigh 20.5 ounces on a digital scale.

If you add in the weight of the standard muffler on the OS 61 FX it comes out at about 680 grams, about 24 oz. My Saito 91 was 555 grams out of the box incl muffler, which I make about 19.5 oz

You are therefore saving 1/4 lb

Just for info if converting grams to Oz.'s the following: take total grams and X that number by .035= total Oz.......
Example 555gramsX.035=19.425oz
