Suzuki DR 100 weight overview

WHAT THIS MEANS

The weight is relatively manageable, so the bike should demand less effort than a heavyweight machine when backing up, parking or making slow-speed corrections. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

What the weight numbers tell you

Using a model-level dry weight comparison, the Suzuki DR 100 is heavier than about 80.8% of 13 Suzuki enduro/off-road motorcycles with compatible weight data.
The listed fuel tank capacity is 0.53 US gal (2 L) to 1.48 US gal (5.6 L). A full tank of gasoline is estimated to weigh about 3.3 lb (1.5 kg) to 9.2 lb (4.2 kg), which helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.

Suzuki DR 100 weight FAQ

What is the Suzuki DR 100 dry weight?

The available dry weight is 274.9 lb (124.7 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.

Is the Suzuki DR 100 lighter or heavier than other Suzuki enduro/off-road motorcycles?

Compared with similar Suzukis in this dataset, it is heavier than about 80.8% of 13 enduro/off-road motorcycles using the same weight basis.

Which Suzuki DR 100 years have different weight specs?

There is not enough comparable model-year weight data to determine a year-to-year change. A usable weight figure is available for 1985. No usable dry/wet figure was supplied for 1987.

How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki DR 100?

Based on the supplied 0.53 US gal (2 L) to 1.48 US gal (5.6 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 3.3 lb (1.5 kg) to 9.2 lb (4.2 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.

What is the combined Suzuki DR 100 and rider weight?

Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 454.9 lb (206.3 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.

Is the listed Suzuki DR 100 weight ready to ride?

The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 278.2 lb (126.2 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.

How heavy is the Suzuki DR 100 after filling the fuel tank?

Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 278.2 lb (126.2 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.

How much of the Suzuki DR 100 total weight comes from fuel?

The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 1.2% of the bike’s listed weight. This helps show why a dry-weight number can understate what you actually manage on the road.

What is the Suzuki DR 100 engine-size-to-weight ratio?

The available figures work out to 0.36 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
