Across the 2007 and 2008 model years, the Yamaha FZ6 ABS motorcycle has supplied dry weights ranging from 396.8 lb (180 kg) to 407.9 lb (185 kg).
Yamaha FZ6 ABS weight overview
This is neither unusually light nor extremely heavy. For most riders the practical weight question is more about seat height, center of mass and low-speed balance than the scale number alone. 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
Yamaha FZ6 ABS weight FAQ
How heavy is the Yamaha FZ6 ABS?
Listed dry weight is 396.8 lb (180 kg) to 407.9 lb (185 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 Yamaha FZ6 ABS heavy compared with other Yamaha naked bikes?
It is on the lighter side in this dataset. Its representative dry weight sits around the 26th weight percentile among 17 Yamaha naked bikes, meaning most compatible models are heavier.
Does the Yamaha FZ6 ABS 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 Yamaha FZ6 ABS fuel weigh?
The listed tank capacity is 5.12 US gal (19.4 L). Using approximately 0.745 kg/L gasoline, a full tank is roughly 31.9 lb (14.5 kg). That is an estimate for fuel mass, not an official Yamaha curb-weight calculation.
How heavy is the Yamaha FZ6 ABS with an average-size rider?
A 180 lb rider brings the simple bike-plus-rider total to roughly 582.3 lb (264.1 kg) using the representative dry figure. Gear and luggage would add more.
How much horsepower does the Yamaha FZ6 ABS have per 100 lb?
Where compatible power and weight figures are available, it works out to 18.73 hp per 100 lb. That places it around the 56th percentile within the compatible Yamaha naked bike power-to-weight comparison.
Can I treat the Yamaha FZ6 ABS 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 428.7 lb (194.5 kg) to 439.7 lb (199.5 kg), and oil/coolant or definition differences may add more.
What is the Yamaha FZ6 ABS full-tank weight estimate?
Using the listed dry weight plus the calculated fuel mass, the estimated weight with a full tank is 428.7 lb (194.5 kg) to 439.7 lb (199.5 kg). That still may not equal official curb weight because dry-weight definitions can exclude other fluids or equipment.
What is the Yamaha FZ6 ABS torque per 100 lb of bike weight?
The calculated torque-to-weight range is 9.33 lb-ft per 100 lb to 9.59 lb-ft per 100 lb. It is useful for comparing bikes with very different overall weights.
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.
