Yamaha YFM700R weight FAQ
What does the Yamaha YFM700R weigh ready to ride?
The supplied figures span 423.3 lb (192 kg) for wet/running weight and 396.8 lb (180 kg) to 423.3 lb (192 kg) for dry weight across the years in this page. Wet weight is the better guide to what you actually manage on the road.
Is the Yamaha YFM700R heavy compared with other Yamaha motorcycles?
Relatively speaking, it is on the heavier side. The model sits near the 65th weight percentile in its Yamaha category, so it is heavier than most of the compatible comparison set.
Does the Yamaha YFM700R weight change by model year?
Not every covered year uses the same figure. The page groups identical values together and lists the later model years where the supplied weight specification changes.
How much does the Yamaha YFM700R fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 2.91 US gal (11 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 18.1 lb (8.2 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Yamaha curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Yamaha YFM700R with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 603.3 lb (273.6 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
How much heavier is the Yamaha YFM700R with a full tank?
The page calculates about 414.9 lb (188.2 kg) to 441.4 lb (200.2 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Yamaha curb-weight number.

The calculated torque-to-weight range is 8.02 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How large is the Yamaha YFM700R engine for its weight?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 1.62 cc per lb to 1.73 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
