Lightweight Wheels-Why They Make Such A Big Difference One of the best performance modifications you can do to your motorcycle, is to put on lighter wheels! I know, you see that these wheels weigh like 10 pounds less than stock, so you're thinking, 10 pounds isn't gonna justify paying all that money for nice light rims. But the question is not how much weight are you saving, it's where is the weight you're saving? Regular Automotive Oil In Motorcycles? There is a lot of confusion about oil in motorcycles.
