Suzuki TS 400 Hustler weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

The weight is relatively manageable, so the bike should demand less effort than a heavyweight machine when backing up, parking or making slow-speed corrections. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

The listed fuel tank capacity is 2.19 US gal (8.3 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 13.6 lb (6.2 kg), which helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
Where both power and weight are available, the model works out to 12.44 hp per 100 lb. This makes cross-size comparisons more meaningful than raw horsepower by itself.

Suzuki TS 400 Hustler weight FAQ

What is the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler dry weight?

It is comparatively light for this Suzuki category. The model lands near the 25th percentile for weight in the compatible dataset.

Which Suzuki TS 400 Hustler years have different weight specs?

No clear weight change appears in the usable model-year data. Other specifications may still differ by year.

How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler?

What is the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler power-to-weight ratio?

Available model-year data produces 12.44 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 69th percentile within the compatible Suzuki allround power-to-weight comparison.

Is the listed Suzuki TS 400 Hustler weight ready to ride?

The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 287 lb (130.2 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.

How heavy is the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler after filling the fuel tank?
