2014 Yamaha SR400 Features and Benefits:

Retro style with authentic design

Unlike some retro bikes that are modern interpretations of older designs, the SR400 is an authentic living classic which has been constructed to virtually the same specification as the original model. With its air-cooled engine and twin-shock chassis, this timeless big single represents a return to motorcycling's core values.

Air-cooled 4-stroke single-cylinder engine

You'll often hear of a motorcycle's engine being described as being its heart, and nowhere is this more true than with the SR400. Not only does the air-cooled SOHC single cylinder engine thump away at low revs like a heartbeat, but it also gives this timeless classic its engaging character and enduring appeal.

Fuel injection for good economy and smooth running

While remaining true to the SR400's original design and concept, we have also taken the opportunity to make a number of technical improvements such as the fitment of fuel injection and transistor ignition for good economy and easy starting. And for reduced emissions the chrome exhaust system features a 3-way catalyzer.

Tubular high tensile steel semi-double cradle frame

One reason the original SR400 has become such an immensely popular model throughout the world is because riders of all ages and experience levels appreciate its light and slim body. This is made possible by the compact tubular high-tensile steel semi-double cradle frame which also doubles up as an oil tank to save space.

Plush front forks and twin shock rear suspension

The SR400 is equipped with traditional suspension that gives a plush and comfortable ride, with the front forks giving 150mm travel and the twin shocks at the rear giving 110mm wheel movement. And with its slim fuel tank, raised handlebars and long dual seat, the SR400 benefits from a natural and relaxed riding position.

Decompressor and piston position indicator for easy kick starting

To underline our commitment to originality the SR400 is equipped with a kick starter as the only means of getting the engine running. Starting is made easier by the decompressor lever on the handlebars and a piston position indicator on the side of the cylinder head, as well as the new fuel injection system.
