Kawasaki KLX 300 R weight FAQ
How heavy is the Kawasaki KLX 300 R?
Listed dry weight is 231.5 lb (105 kg) to 233.7 lb (106 kg). Because no usable wet/running figure was supplied, treat that as a lower starting point rather than the exact on-road weight.
Is the Kawasaki KLX 300 R heavy compared with other Kawasaki enduro/off-road motorcycles?
It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative dry weight is around the 42nd percentile among 13 compatible Kawasaki enduro/off-road motorcycles.
Does the Kawasaki KLX 300 R 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 KLX 300 R fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 2.6 US gal (9.84 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 16.2 lb (7.3 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Kawasaki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Kawasaki KLX 300 R with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 412.6 lb (187.1 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Kawasaki KLX 300 R dry weight as curb weight?
No. The usable figure is dry weight, so it excludes at least some operating fluids. Dry weight plus the estimated full fuel load is about 249.9 lb (113.3 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
How many cc does the Kawasaki KLX 300 R have per pound?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 1.25 cc per lb to 1.26 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
Will the Kawasaki KLX 300 R feel heavy at low speed?
Its low mass should make hand-moving and parking easier than on most full-size road motorcycles. Seat height and center of mass can still change how manageable it feels.
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. Confirm critical figures in the owner’s manual or on the official Kawasaki website.
