The source data gives 385.8 lb (175 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.
What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Yamaha Banshee YFZ350?
A full tank works out to about 19.7 lb (8.9 kg) from the listed 3.17 US gal (12 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.

Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 405.5 lb (183.9 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.
How much of the Yamaha Banshee YFZ350 total weight comes from fuel?

What is the Yamaha Banshee YFZ350 engine-size-to-weight ratio?
The model has about 0.9 cc per lb in the available data. This simply shows how much engine displacement there is for each pound of motorcycle weight.
Is the Yamaha Banshee YFZ350 easy to move around by hand?
The number is manageable for a road bike, but you still notice it when parking, making tight low-speed turns or catching a lean. On the move, chassis balance can make it feel lighter than the scale suggests.
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.
