Battery: 8 lb, forged aluminum wheels: 8 lb, footrest assy: 3 lb, gas cap, 0.5 lb, bar ends: 1.5 lbs., bar ends: 1.5 lb, mirrors: 1.5 lb, rear fender: 1 lb, horn: 0.5 lb, side stand 0.75 lb, Tool kit: 2lb = 28.25 lb. + 35 for a very light full system = 63.25. There's about 5 lbs of unneeded stuff like steering stem cover and chain guard.
Even his is 4lbs lighter with the same brand scales
No tool kit on the Gen-3 like previous Gen’s..
Of course....after mods....stock it is what it is....heavy.....Suzuki says it's 582lbs which could be an error on their scales.
My guess is different countries have different things. For instance electronic mobilizer in the key/ignition in some markets, India gets the metal front plate bracket, etc. Better to advertise one weight over estimated than have other markets raising heck about it being wrong.
Mine came with tools, 3 allens and a screw driver. If that qualifies a "tool kit".
Unfortunately previous Gen’s came with all the basics to adjust chain and everything in a little tool bag including tank prop rod. Gen-3’s don’t have any of that.
That’s what helps keep the price low.
I wonder how Suzuki weighs them?
Sunoco 93 but it does seem odd that it’s that much lighter. Figure 6lbs per gallon and five gallons is 30lbs less empty.
I miss Sunoco's 94 octane!
I was making a (apparently really poor) joke about different octane having significantly different weight, but thanks for answering it.
Good points. I think they have been making one EPA compliant bike. The truth is that we may never fully validate the published numbers.
Did you include the rear seat cover? Might not even be a pound though.
