TOPIC:

Anyone know off hand what the weight is for a 1982 KZ1100...or even other year KZ1100's?

I keep getting asked, and I don't have the answer.

should be a gvwr on the stearing head sticker

I would guess about 550 lbs dry.

my 82 kz550 is 519 lbs from factory

Thanks for the replys...I got it. 628 lbs!

GVRW on my 78 Z1R is 937lbs.
dry weight from owners manual is 542lbs.
on a scale it weighed 568lbs. w/ 1/2 tank of fuel
after losing weight over the years it's now at 545lbs. w/ 1/2 tand of fuel (funny, the older I get the more I weigh!)

Per Wikipedia --
Gross weight is often confused with curb weight, which represents the weight of the vehicle with no passengers or cargo. The difference between gross weight and curb weight is the total passenger and cargo weight capacity of the vehicle. For example, a pickup truck with a curb weight of 2000 pounds might have a cargo capacity of 3000 pounds, meaning it can have a gross weight of 5000 pounds when fully loaded.

Everybody but me probably already knew this.
