Suzuki SV 400 S weight overview
This is middleweight territory: substantial enough to feel planted, but still well short of heavyweight touring and large-cruiser mass. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Suzuki SV 400 S weight FAQ
How much does the Suzuki SV 400 S weigh?
The source data gives 368.2 lb (167 kg) to 370.4 lb (168 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.
How does the Suzuki SV 400 S weight compare with similar Suzukis?
It is on the heavier side. Its representative dry weight is around the 68th percentile among 14 compatible Suzuki allround models.
Are all Suzuki SV 400 S model years the same weight?
There are year-to-year differences in the supplied data. The earliest covered year is used as the baseline, with later changed values shown separately above.
What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Suzuki SV 400 S?
A full tank works out to about 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) from the listed 4.23 US gal (16 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.
What does the Suzuki SV 400 S weigh with a 180 lb rider?
The approximate combined total is 549.3 lb (249.1 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.
How much heavier will the Suzuki SV 400 S be than its dry weight?
Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 394.5 lb (178.9 kg) to 396.7 lb (179.9 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.
How much heavier is the Suzuki SV 400 S with a full tank?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 394.5 lb (178.9 kg) to 396.7 lb (179.9 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Suzuki SV 400 S torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
Available data gives 8.16 lb-ft per 100 lb to 8.21 lb-ft per 100 lb. That ratio helps explain how strong the engine is relative to the bike’s mass, especially at lower speeds.
How many cc does the Suzuki SV 400 S have per pound?
The model has about 1.08 cc per lb in the available data. This simply shows how much engine displacement there is for each pound of motorcycle weight.
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.
