For the 2008 model year, the Yamaha TDM900A motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 423.3 lb (192 kg).
Yamaha TDM900A 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.

Yamaha TDM900A weight FAQ
What is the Yamaha TDM900A dry weight?
The available dry weight is 423.3 lb (192 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Yamaha TDM900A lighter or heavier than other Yamaha motorcycles?
Compared with similar Yamahas in this dataset, it is heavier than about 75.9% of 110 motorcycles using the same weight basis.
How much does a full tank add to the Yamaha TDM900A?
Based on the supplied 5.28 US gal (20 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 32.8 lb (14.9 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Yamaha TDM900A and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 603.3 lb (273.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Yamaha TDM900A weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 456.1 lb (206.9 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Yamaha TDM900A after filling the fuel tank?
Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 456.1 lb (206.9 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much of the Yamaha TDM900A total weight comes from fuel?
The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 7.8% 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 Yamaha TDM900A torque compare with its weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 15.47 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
What is the Yamaha TDM900A engine-size-to-weight ratio?
The available figures work out to 2.12 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
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.
