Which Kawasaki ER-6n years have different weight specs?
The supplied data shows different weight figures across the 2006-2017 model years. Use the year-specific changes section above for the exact value attached to each changed year.
How much does a full tank add to the Kawasaki ER-6n?
Based on the supplied 4.09 US gal (15.5 L) to 4.23 US gal (16 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 25.5 lb (11.5 kg) to 26.3 lb (11.9 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Kawasaki ER-6n and rider weight?
