BST wheels will make a huge difference, CF bodywork will help too, aluminium subframe will shed a few. If its a race bike, take out the headlight, signals, the switches to t control your now absent signals. Yoshi has aluminium tank, I think there may be fiberglass ones too. I think aftermarket swingarms are lighter than stock... umm.... thats all for now.
Most of the time, the cheapest weight you can take off the bike is by taking it off the rider! Only running 3/4 gallon of fuel, Exhuast, and Battery should be the next in line.
Id say that a ultra light battery is the bestt bang for the buck after exhaust. Wheels r expensive but will shave several lbs. Remove rear pegs and mounts. Shocks. The list goes on. Its all about the green baby. All about the green.
Good ideas/suggestions so far. But most commonly overlooked/neglected, as chrisjp and Professor have already pointed out: rider weight!! Plus a healthier/more fit rider will also have more physical/mental stamina.
