Across 5 covered model years from 2002 to 2007, the Suzuki DR-Z 125 L motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 174.2 lb (79 kg) to 178.6 lb (81 kg).
Suzuki DR-Z 125 L weight overview
This sits at the very light end of motorcycle mass, which is especially useful when the bike has to be moved around by hand or held on uneven ground. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Suzuki DR-Z 125 L weight FAQ
How heavy is the Suzuki DR-Z 125 L?
Listed dry weight is 174.2 lb (79 kg) to 178.6 lb (81 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 Suzuki DR-Z 125 L heavy compared with other Suzuki enduro/off-road motorcycles?
It is on the lighter side in this dataset. Its representative dry weight sits around the 19th weight percentile among 13 Suzuki enduro/off-road motorcycles, meaning most compatible models are heavier.
Does the Suzuki DR-Z 125 L 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 Suzuki DR-Z 125 L fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 1.74 US gal (6.6 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 10.8 lb (4.9 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Suzuki curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Suzuki DR-Z 125 L with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 356.4 lb (161.6 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
Can I treat the Suzuki DR-Z 125 L 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 185 lb (83.9 kg) to 189.4 lb (85.9 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
What is the Suzuki DR-Z 125 L torque-to-weight ratio?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 4.18 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
How large is the Suzuki DR-Z 125 L engine for its weight?
Engine displacement relative to bike weight is 0.69 cc per lb to 0.71 cc per lb. It can help compare motorcycles from very different displacement classes without relying on cc alone.
What are the lightest and heaviest Suzuki DR-Z 125 L years?
The usable year data ranges from 174.2 lb (79 kg) in 2006 to 178.6 lb (81 kg) in 2003.
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 Suzuki Cycles website.
