I would guess in the 520 gram area for a motor that spins that high.

I'm trying to look it up, but having a tough time. Why is the weight so important to know?

I guess if you're balancing and blueprinting, you would want/need to know it.

True, but at that point, the tech needs to weigh each piston to balance the
set.

I just wanted to see how close in weight are the stock pistons vs a aftermarket Diamond piston.
