Is the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 heavy compared with other Kawasaki custom/cruiser motorcycles?
It is on the lighter side in this dataset. Its representative wet weight sits around the 1st weight percentile among 43 Kawasaki custom/cruiser motorcycles, meaning most compatible models are heavier.
Does the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 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 Kawasaki Eliminator 125 fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 3.4 US gal (12.86 L) to 3.43 US gal (13 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 21.1 lb (9.6 kg) to 21.4 lb (9.7 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Kawasaki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 511.8 lb (232.1 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.

Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 303.1 lb (137.5 kg) to 340.8 lb (154.6 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 2.08 lb-ft per 100 lb to 2.61 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How many cc does the Kawasaki Eliminator 125 have per pound?
