What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level wet weight comparison, the Yamaha FJR1300AS is heavier than about 98.8% of 42 Yamaha sport-touring motorcycles with compatible weight data.
The listed fuel tank capacity is 6.6 US gal (24.98 L) to 6.6 US gal (25 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 41 lb (18.6 kg) to 41.1 lb (18.6 kg), which helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
The supplied data shows model-year weight differences, so the safest figure is the one attached to your exact year rather than a single all-years number.
Where both power and weight are available, the model works out to 16.47 hp per 100 lb to 21.65 hp per 100 lb. This makes cross-size comparisons more meaningful than raw horsepower by itself.
