Kawasaki KLX 300R weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

This is a genuinely light bike. That usually makes parking, pushing it around a garage and catching small low-speed balance errors easier than on larger motorcycles. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Kawasaki KLX 300R weight FAQ

How much does the Kawasaki KLX 300R weigh?

The source data gives 233.7 lb (106 kg) as dry weight. A fueled, road-ready bike will weigh more than this figure.

Are all Kawasaki KLX 300R model years the same weight?

There is not enough comparable model-year weight data to determine a year-to-year change. A usable weight figure is available for 2007. No usable dry/wet figure was supplied for 2024, 2025.

What does a full tank of gas weigh on the Kawasaki KLX 300R?

A full tank works out to about 16.2 lb (7.3 kg) from the listed 2.6 US gal (9.84 L) capacity. Actual fuel density varies slightly, so treat it as a practical estimate.

What does the Kawasaki KLX 300R weigh with a 180 lb rider?

The approximate combined total is 413.7 lb (187.6 kg) with a 180 lb rider, based on the representative dry weight used on this page.

How much heavier will the Kawasaki KLX 300R be than its dry weight?

Do not treat dry weight as curb weight. Adding the listed fuel capacity alone produces roughly 249.9 lb (113.3 kg); the true ready-to-ride figure can still differ because dry-weight definitions vary.

What is the Kawasaki KLX 300R full-tank weight estimate?

Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 249.9 lb (113.3 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.

How many cc does the Kawasaki KLX 300R have per pound?

The model has about 1.25 cc per lb in the available data. This simply shows how much engine displacement there is for each pound of motorcycle weight.

Is the Kawasaki KLX 300R easy to move around by hand?

By scale weight it is light, so backing up, garage movement and slow-speed corrections should require less effort than on heavier bikes. Geometry still matters.
