So I took delivery of my 2008 900 custom yesterday and im trying to fill out my registration form and i cant find anything in my documentation about the gross vehicle weight. is it listed on the bike? the title says that the GVW is 0. as this is my first bike i dont know how it works on a motorcycle and was wondering if any more experienced riders could help.

GVW would be the bike plus max load capacity. Curb weight is 610.8 lbs. max load is 397 lbs. I think. So 1007.8 should be the answer or really close to it.

There should be a tag somewhere on the bike. Look at the swingarm on the belt side possibly.

got an email back from the dealership they said "after a little bit of digging your gross vehicle weight is 549lbs, so that should work for registration purposes", might actually be the dry weight but im sure that the DMV wont give me any problems as i have written documentation for that weight. might actually help with registration cost.
