2022 Suzuki DR-Z400SM

Chassis Features

• Wide, 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 black or white bodywork features angular graphics for a race-ready appearance.
• A pouch on the rear fender carries the tool kit, owner’s manual, or other cargo.

• 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 enrichener circuit to help provide smooth throttle response when accelerating or engine braking.
• The left side body cover has quick-release fasteners for easy access to the air filter.
• The use of a PAIR (air supply) system to the exhaust helps the motorcycle achieve emissions compliance without affecting performance.
