Suzuki TS 400 Hustler 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 TS 400 Hustler weight FAQ
What is the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler dry weight?
The available dry weight is 273.4 lb (124 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler lighter or heavier than other Suzuki allround models?
It is comparatively light for this Suzuki category. The model lands near the 25th percentile for weight in the compatible dataset.
Which Suzuki TS 400 Hustler 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 TS 400 Hustler?
Based on the supplied 2.19 US gal (8.3 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 13.6 lb (6.2 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Suzuki TS 400 Hustler and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 453.4 lb (205.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
What is the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler power-to-weight ratio?
Available model-year data produces 12.44 hp per 100 lb. It shows engine output relative to motorcycle mass rather than just quoting peak horsepower. That places it around the 69th percentile within the compatible Suzuki allround power-to-weight comparison.
Is the listed Suzuki TS 400 Hustler weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 287 lb (130.2 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler after filling the fuel tank?
Based on the available dry-weight and tank-capacity data, a full-tank estimate is 287 lb (130.2 kg). Oil, coolant and market-specific equipment can still make actual ready-to-ride weight different.
How much torque does the Suzuki TS 400 Hustler have per 100 lb?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 10.79 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
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.
