Got me a Husky 353 clutch cover from Baileys to replace the gray one, at the time was about $53. Worth every penny, exact fit.

That has always been the true weight of the 50cc version, and just .2 lbs more than the specs say.

If you put a 2153 on the same scale, it likely will show 11.3 - a little more if the muffler is a cat one...

A 353 clutch cover will fit, as will a 351, 350 and 345 one, or a 346 one from before may or so in 2007. They all are the same cover. I wouldn't bother though....

She does weight 11.2 pounds. Never a drop of fluid. The guy said do you want to gas up and start it.?

I said "NO". I want to weigh it bone dry.

I think that puts the myth to rest that the 2153 is

.2 pounds heavier.

Under the top cover they look like exactly the same thing to my untrained eye. In fact like twins.

Brothers of another color.

Why should that info "put to rest" anything - there is absolutely zero new info here?:confused2:

The 2153 actually will weight a few grams more, as there is a little more plastic in the starter side covers, and the streigh across handlebar is slightly longer in total. :laugh::laugh:

Nobody ever said that the weight difference mattered (except as a joke) - but the difference in the handlebar angle does.

Different scales obviosly can show a little different numbers - but if you look a little into Youngs different pictures, they illustrate a few points (no real surprices though). :msp_smile:

In this case, the cat muffler from the 2153 added 1.6 oz. When that difference was eliminated, the 2153 still was a 2.2 oz heavier than the 346xp.
