Features

 

Key

  • Suzuki’s Supermotard model based on DR-Z400S – combines Supermotard style and features in a narrow, lightweight street-legal package
  • Engine

  • Lightweight 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong, tractable low-rpm power

  • Compact 4-valve cylinder head with 36mm intakes valves, 29mm exhaust valves, narrow 28 degree included valve angle and shim-under-bucket valve adjustment system

  • SCEM-plated cylinder (nickel-silicon-phosphorous) is lighter and more durable than an iron liner with excellent heat transfer properties

  • Forged aluminum piston is 10% lighter than a cast piston and receives additional oil-cooling to the piston crown through a crankcase oil jet

  • Compact 5-speed transmission utilizes a cable-operated clutch with separate outer cover for simplified clutch maintenance

  • Additional weight savings with magnesium valve cover, clutch cover, and magneto cover

  • Smooth throttle response with a MikuniT BSR36 CV-type carburetor fed by a 6-liter airbox. The left side cover has quick-release fasteners for easy access to the air filter

  • Electric start with lightweight starter motor and a compact 6.5 amp maintenance-free battery

  • Automatic decompression system for quick/easy starts

  • Thermostatically-controlled cooling fan mounted to the left radiator helps maintain consistent operating temperature in traffic
  • Chassis

  • Renthal tapered aluminum handlebar for reduced vibration and an aggressive look

  • Compact digital instrument cluster with speedometer, odometer, twin-trip meters with addition/subtraction capability, clock, timer and stopwatch functions

  • Long-travel, Showa-brand inverted front fork derived from RM250 – features adjustable compression/rebound damping and alumite coating on inner tube surfaces for smooth action

  • A fully-adjustable rear shock absorber with high/low speed compression damping adjuster and aluminum swingarm for precise rear wheel control

  • Strong braking performance supplied by a front disc brake with a large 300mm floating-type rotor and dual-piston caliper, plus 240mm rear disc brake with single-piston caliper

  • Black-painted RK Excel 17” aluminum rims and radial tires: 120/70-R17 front, 140/70-R17 rear

  • New front and rear axle sliders

  • On-road legal lighting with bright 60/55 watt halogen headlight, compact tail/stoplight, lightweight, rubber-mounted turn signals and horn

  • Narrow profile with smooth transitions between the tank, seat and bodywork

  • Chrome-moly steel frame tuned for Supermoto style riding is torsionally strong with minimal weight. The backbone tube, front down tube, and steering head gussets from the dry-sump engine oil tank

  • A bolt-on aluminum subframe helps reduce weight and simplify maintenance

  • Chrome-moly steel footpegs, aluminum rims/hubs, plus engine guard and rear disc guard
  • Test Drive
