2016 Suzuki DR-Z400SM

Chassis Features

• Wide, gold-anodized RK Excel aluminum rims with stainless steel spokes are fitted with sporty radial tires: 120/70-R17 front & 140/70-R17 rear.
• Strong braking performance is supplied by a front disc brake with a large 300mm floating-type rotor and dual-piston caliper, plus a 240mm rear disc brake with single-piston caliper.
• Long travel, SHOWA inverted front fork is derived from a RM250 and 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 a tapered RM-inspired aluminum swingarm combine for precise rear wheel control.
• Renthal tapered aluminum handlebar has an aggressive look, reduces vibration and has a great bend for spirited riding.
• 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 form the dry-sump engine oil tank.
• A bolt-on aluminum subframe helps reduce weight, simplify maintenance and contributes to the trim rear fender appearance.

Electrical Features

• Compact digital instrument cluster with speedometer, odometer, twin-trip meters with addition/subtraction capability, clock, timer and stopwatch functions.
• On-road legal lighting with bright 60/55 watt halogen headlight, compact tail/stoplight, lightweight, rubber-mounted turn signals and horn.
• Electrical systems, including the easy push button starter, powered by a compact 6.5 amp maintenance-free battery.

Engine Features

• Lightweight 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong, tractable power.
• Compact 4-valve cylinder head with 36mm intake valves, 29mm exhaust valves, narrow 28-degree included valve angle and shim-under-bucket valve adjustment system.
• Simple electric starting via a lightweight starter motor and an automatic mechanical decompression 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 percent lighter than a cast piston and receives additional oil-cooling to the piston crown through a crankcase oil jet.
• Smooth throttle response with a Mikuni™ 36mm carburetor fed by 6-liter air box. The left side cover has quick-release fasteners for easy access to the air filter.
• Thermostatically controlled cooling fan mounted to the left radiator helps maintain consistent operating temperature in traffic.
• Additional weight savings with magnesium valve cover, clutch cover, and magneto cover.

Key Features

• Suzuki's Supermotard model based on proven DR-Z400S - combines Supermotard style and features in a narrow, lightweight street-legal package.

Transmission

• Compact 5-speed transmission utilizes a cable-operated clutch with separate outer cover for simplified clutch maintenance.
• Low-maintenance, long-life sealed O-ring type drive chain produces minimal sounds when riding.
