Kawasaki KMX 125 weight FAQ
What does the Kawasaki KMX 125 weigh ready to ride?
The supplied figures span 253.5 lb (115 kg) to 260.1 lb (118 kg) for wet/running weight and 211.6 lb (96 kg) to 242.5 lb (110 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 Kawasaki KMX 125 heavy compared with other Kawasaki enduro/off-road motorcycles?
It sits fairly close to the middle of the category. Its representative wet weight is around the 51st percentile among 46 compatible Kawasaki enduro/off-road motorcycles.
Does the Kawasaki KMX 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 KMX 125 fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 2.38 US gal (9 L) to 2.46 US gal (9.3 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 14.8 lb (6.7 kg) to 15.3 lb (6.9 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Kawasaki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Kawasaki KMX 125 with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 440.1 lb (199.6 kg) using the representative wet/running figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
How much horsepower does the Kawasaki KMX 125 have per 100 lb?
Where compatible power and weight figures are available, it works out to 6.19 hp per 100 lb to 7.09 hp per 100 lb. That places it around the 50th percentile within the compatible Kawasaki enduro / offroad power-to-weight comparison.
How much heavier is the Kawasaki KMX 125 with a full tank?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 226.9 lb (102.9 kg) to 257.8 lb (116.9 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Kawasaki KMX 125 torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 3.78 lb-ft per 100 lb to 4.53 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How many cc does the Kawasaki KMX 125 have per pound?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 0.48 cc per lb to 0.59 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
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.
