Across the 2005 and 2007 model years, the Yamaha XT 225 motorcycle has a listed dry weight of 238.1 lb (108 kg).
Yamaha XT 225 weight overview
Its low overall mass should be most noticeable off the throttle: moving it by hand, backing out of a parking space and managing stop-start riding should take less effort than on a heavy road bike. The comparison uses dry weight because a usable wet/running figure was not supplied, so the actual ready-to-ride motorcycle will be heavier.

Yamaha XT 225 weight FAQ
What is the Yamaha XT 225 dry weight?
The available dry weight is 238.1 lb (108 kg). Actual ready-to-ride weight will be higher after fuel and operating fluids are added.
Is the Yamaha XT 225 lighter or heavier than other Yamaha motorcycles?
Weight is broadly typical for the category, landing around the 35th percentile in this model-level Yamaha comparison.
Which Yamaha XT 225 years have different weight specs?
There is not enough comparable model-year weight data to determine a year-to-year change. A usable weight figure is available for 2007. No usable dry/wet figure was supplied for 2005.
How much does a full tank add to the Yamaha XT 225?
Based on the supplied 2.3 US gal (8.7 L) tank capacity, the gasoline itself weighs about 14.3 lb (6.5 kg) when full. This helps explain part of the difference between dry and ready-to-ride mass.
What is the combined Yamaha XT 225 and rider weight?
Using the model’s representative dry weight and a 180 lb rider, the combined bike-and-rider mass is about 418.1 lb (189.6 kg) before riding gear, luggage or a passenger.
Is the listed Yamaha XT 225 weight ready to ride?
The published usable figure is dry, not curb weight. A simple dry-plus-full-fuel estimate is 252.4 lb (114.5 kg), but that still is not a substitute for an official wet/curb specification.
How heavy is the Yamaha XT 225 after filling the fuel tank?
The page calculates about 252.4 lb (114.5 kg) with a full tank by adding the listed fuel mass to the dry figure. Treat this as a practical estimate, not an official Yamaha curb-weight number.
What is the Yamaha XT 225 torque-to-weight ratio?
Where compatible torque and weight figures are available, the model works out to 5.89 lb-ft per 100 lb. This gives more context than torque alone because it relates engine twist to the mass it has to move.
How large is the Yamaha XT 225 engine for its weight?
The available figures work out to 0.94 cc per lb. This is not a performance rating, but it is a useful way to compare engine size against total motorcycle mass.
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.
