The DR-Z400S looks like an off-road machine, and it is - with all the unmatched performance capabilities you'd expect from a Suzuki. But look a little more carefully and you'll see you get a bonus: it's 100-percent street legal. The DR-Z400's exceptional off-road performance should come as no surprise. After all, it uses the same advanced suspension as the renowned DR-Z400E. It also has a lightweight, compact design that helps it offer crisp handling everywhere from tight, technical trails to wide-open fire roads. Off-road or on the street, the DR-Z400S provides strong torque across the powerband and amazing throttle response. And it features remarkably smooth performance, complemented by conveniences such as electric starting and a compact, easy-to-read instrument cluster. On the trail or cross town, you can't beat the 2008 Suzuki DR-Z400S. | Specs | | Engine: | 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC | | Bore Stroke: | 90 x 62.6mm | | Compression Ratio: | 11.3 : 1 | | Fuel System: | MIKUNI BSR36, single | | Lubrication: | Dry sump | | Ignition: | Electronic ignition (CDI) | | Transmission: | 5-speed constant mesh | | Final Drive: | RK520KZ0, 112 links | | Overall Length: | 2310 mm (90.9 in) | | Overall Width: | 875 mm (34.4 in) | | Overall Height: | 1230 mm (48.4 in) | | Seat Height: | 935 mm (36.8 in) | | Ground Clearance: | 300 mm (11.8 in) | | Wheelbase: | 1485 mm (58.5 in) | | Dry Weight: | 132 kg (291 lbs) | | Suspension Front: | Telescopic, coil spring, oil damped | | Suspension Rear: | Link type, coil spring, oil damped | | Brakes Front: | Disc brake | | Brakes Rear: | Disc brake | | Tires Front: | 80/100-21 M/C 51P, tube type | | Tires Rear: | 120/90-18 M/C 65P, tube type | | Fuel Tank Capacity: | 10.0 L (2.6/2.2 US/Imp gal) | | Color: | Black, Blue |
