Suzuki's New Supermoto: DR-Z400SM
KEY FEATURES:
- Suzuki's new Supermotard model based on DR-Z400S - combines
Supermotard style and features in a narrow, lightweight street-legal
package
- 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 17" aluminum rims and radial tires: 120/70-R17
front, 140/70- R17 rear
CHASSIS 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
- Narrow profile with smooth transitions between the tank, seat
and bodywork
- Chrome-moly steel frame 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 and simplify
maintenance
- Chrome-moly steel footpegs, aluminum rims/hubs, plus engine
guard and rear disc guard
ENGINE FEATURES:
- Lightweight 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces
strong, usable low-rpm power
- Compact 4-valve cylinder head with 36mm intake valves, 29mm
exhaust valves, narrow 28º 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 Mikuni™ BSR36 CV-type
carburetor fed by 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 engine starts
- Thermostatically-controlled cooling fan mounted to the left
radiator helps maintain consistent operating temperature in traffic
