2020 Suzuki DR-Z400SM: EXHILARATING SPORTBIKE EXPERIENCE.
2020 Suzuki DR-Z400SM:
Suzuki’s SuperMoto DR-Z400SM is based on the proven DR-Z400S. So it combines Supermotard style and features in a narrow, lightweight, street-legal package. This bike brings off-road soul and fun to paved roads. It’s not uncommon to take the SuperMoto down a twisty forest road, around tight canyon corners, or through commuter traffic.
Its 398cc, liquid-cooled, four-stroke engine provides strong low-rpm torque and crisp throttle response for any of these occasions. Key differences between the DR-Z400SM and the DR-Z400S are the inverted front fork, wide, spoke-style wheels, and 300mm diameter floating front brake rotor. The inverted fork contributes to less unsprung weight and improved overall handling, while the large brake and wider rims with high-grip tires offer an exhilarating sportbike experience.
The DR-Z400SM welcomes you to the exhilarating world of supermoto riding with cutting-edge dual-purpose bike design and stylish, functional top-grade equipment that captures the essence of free-spirited street riding pleasure.

2020 Suzuki DR-Z400SM Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
| Engine Features | |
| 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, and shim-under-bucket valve adjustment system. | |
| 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 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. | |
| 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. | |
| Transmission Features | |
| 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. | |
| Chassis Features | |
| 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 single-piston caliper. | |
| Long travel, Showa inverted front fork is derived from a 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 contribute to the trim rear fender appearance. | |
| Front and rear axle sliders, and special designed mirrors that rotate, help protect against damage in the case of a tip-over. | |
| A pouch on the rear fender carries the tool kit, owner’s manual, or other cargo. | |
| Electrical Features | |
| 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. | |
