Yamaha DT 125 RE weight overview
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.

Which Yamaha DT 125 RE years have different weight specs?

How much does a full tank add to the Yamaha DT 125 RE?
Based on the supplied 2.83 US gal (10.7 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 17.6 lb (8 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Yamaha DT 125 RE and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 435.7 lb (197.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Yamaha DT 125 RE weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 273.3 lb (124 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How much heavier is the Yamaha DT 125 RE with a full tank?
Filling the listed tank brings the calculated bike weight to roughly 273.3 lb (124 kg). This estimate is most useful when no official wet/running figure is available.
How much of the Yamaha DT 125 RE total weight comes from fuel?
The calculated full-tank fuel mass is about 6.9% of the bike’s listed weight. This helps show why a dry-weight number can understate what you actually manage on the road.
How does Yamaha DT 125 RE torque compare with its weight?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 3.75 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.
