Across the 2008 and 2011 model years, the Suzuki Impulse 400 motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 374.8 lb (170 kg) to 390.2 lb (177 kg).
Suzuki Impulse 400 weight overview
The bike falls into a normal middleweight range. At road speed the mass is usually less obvious; parking, slopes and walking-speed maneuvers are where you notice it most. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you
Suzuki Impulse 400 weight FAQ
What is the Suzuki Impulse 400 dry weight?
The available dry weight is 374.8 lb (170 kg) to 390.2 lb (177 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Suzuki Impulse 400 lighter or heavier than other Suzuki sport bikes?
Weight is broadly typical for the category, landing around the 46th percentile in this model-level Suzuki comparison.
Which Suzuki Impulse 400 years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2008 and 2011 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki Impulse 400?
Based on the supplied 4.23 US gal (16 L) to 4.49 US gal (17 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) to 27.9 lb (12.7 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Suzuki Impulse 400 and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 562.5 lb (255.1 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Suzuki Impulse 400 weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 402.7 lb (182.7 kg) to 416.5 lb (188.9 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
What is the Suzuki Impulse 400 full-tank weight estimate?
Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 402.7 lb (182.7 kg) to 416.5 lb (188.9 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much of the Suzuki Impulse 400 total weight comes from fuel?
The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 6.7% to 7.4% of the bike’s listed weight. This helps show why a dry-weight number can understate what you actually manage on the road.
How does Suzuki Impulse 400 torque compare with its weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 6.99 lb-ft per 100 lb to 7.28 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
Motorcycle specifications can vary by model year, market, equipment and the exact dry/curb-weight definition. Calculated fuel-weight and ratio figures on this page are estimates derived from the supplied specifications. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Suzuki Cycles website.
