Does anyone know what the max carrying weight of the GZ? Can't seem to find the answer to this on my web searches.

Thanks

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating is 775 lbs - 350 lbs of bike = 425 lbs of load capacity.

Suzuki advertises the bike's curb weight as 331 lbs.

331 lbs. dry.

OK, but the Suzuki site lists the GZ250 (specifications) as 331 lbs curb weight, including fuel, oil, battery, etc. as needed to ride it. Is it an error?

EDIT: I checked the manual here and it states dry mass is 302 lbs, so 331 curb weight seems about right. That should allow a maximum load of about 444 lbs.

Probably.....350 is an estimate rounded for easy math. Including your farkles, that's all.
