Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM weight overview

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 400 SM weight FAQ
What is the Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM dry weight?
The available dry weight is 295.4 lb (134 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Which Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM years have different weight specs?
No clear weight change appears in the usable model-year data. Other specifications may still differ by year.
How much does a full tank add to the Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM?
Based on the supplied 2.64 US gal (10 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 16.4 lb (7.5 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 475.4 lb (215.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 311.8 lb (141.4 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM after filling the fuel tank?
The page calculates about 311.8 lb (141.4 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Suzuki curb-weight number.
How large is the Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM engine for its weight?
The available figures work out to 1.35 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
Where will I notice the Suzuki DR-Z 400 SM weight most?
Expect the weight to matter more off the throttle than at speed: garage movement, uneven footing and parking angle are the practical situations to think about.
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.
