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

Versatile and strong, 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine has push-button starting

SuperMoto boasts fully adjustable MX-style suspension plus high-grip sportbike tires on strong spoke wheels featuring anodized, aluminum Excel rims.

Both the Grand Blue and Solid Black or the Solid Black bodywork feature new graphics packages that complement the motorcycle’s styling and mission. 

Lightweight, 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong, tractable power.

Compact, four-valve cylinder head has 36mm intake valves, 29mm exhaust valves, narrow 28-degree included valve angle for efficient operation.

Like a GSX-R, the shim-under-bucket valve adjustment system does not require service until 14,500 miles (24,000 km).

Simple electric starting is powered via a lightweight starter motor with an automatic mechanical decompression system.

SCEM-plated cylinder (nickel-silicon-phosphorus) is lighter and more durable than an iron liner and has excellent heat transfer properties.

Forged aluminum piston is 10 percent lighter than a cast piston and receives additional oil-cooling through a crankcase oil jet.

Fed by a six-liter air box, the Mikuni™ 36mm carburetor incorporates a deceleration enricher circuit to helpMprovide smooth throttle response when engine braking and then when accelerating again.

The left side body cover has quick-release fasteners for easy access to the air filter.

The use of a PAIR (air supply) system on the exhaust helps the motorcycle achieve emissions compliance without affecting performance.

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

Magnesium-alloy clutch, magneto, and cylinder head covers contribute to the bike’s low weight.

Compact, five-speed transmission utilizes a cable-operated clutch with a separate magnesium outer cover for simplified clutch maintenance.

Low-maintenance, long-life, sealed O-ring type drive chain produces minimal sounds when riding.

Wide, blue- or black-anodized RK Excel aluminum rims with stainless steel spokes are fitted with sporty radial tires: 120/70-R17 front and 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 a single-piston caliper.

Long travel, Showa inverted front fork is derived from the RM250 and features adjustable compression/rebound damping and a special 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 Supermotard 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 sub-frame helps reduce weight, simplify maintenance, and contributes to the trim rear fender appearance.

Front and rear axle sliders, and specially designed mirrors that rotate, help protect against damage in the case of a tip-over.

Derived from the off-road DR-Z400, the solid black, or the blue and black combination bodywork has new, angular graphics befitting the performance capability of the SuperMoto.

A pouch on the rear fender carries the tool kit, owner’s manual, or other cargo.

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

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

Electrical systems, including the easy-push button starter, are powered by a compact, 6.5-amp, maintenance-free battery.

The DR-Z400SM’s instrument panel has a tire circumference adjustment feature that allows you to fine tune the trip-meters for accuracy after mounting a tire that may have a different profile as compared to the original tire. This adjustment helps the dual tripmeter display be precise for the distance traveled so navigating can be precise.

An accessory, remote button lets the rider reset the selected trip meter to zero, while keeping both hands on the handlebar.

12-month limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits are available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).

A variety of Genuine Suzuki Accessories for DR-Z400SM owners are available including a low profile seat, cargo rack, hand guard set and a large selection of Suzuki logo apparel.
