| Suzuki has burst on to the supermotard
scene with the stunning new DR-Z400SM. Perfectly encapsulating
the supermoto combination of handling and performance, the new
Suzuki is powerful, compact, lightweight and exquisitely balanced.
Attributes which make this an ideal bike for the commuter.
The 398cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC engine is compact, lightweight
and delivers broad, tractable power and torque.
Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) cylinder for
durability, weight reduction and superior heat transfer.
Dry-sump lubrication system makes the crankcase compact and helps
achieve low engine positioning for agile handling.
Lightweight magnesium-alloy clutch, magneto and cam covers.
A digitally mapped DC-CDI system monitors throttle position/engine
rpm, and adjusts ignition timing for efficient fuelling.
Massive 310mm (12.0in.) floating type front disc brake, same size
used on the GSX-R1000, and 240mm (9.0in.) rear disc brake shared
with the RM250.
Long-stroke inverted front forks derived from the RM250, for an
extra-smooth stroking action.
Digital instrument includes speedometer, odometer, and dual trip
meters with addition/subtraction functions, clock and stopwatch.
