New 2023 Suzuki Dual Sport
DR-Z400SM 400SM
2023 Suzuki DR-Z400SM, 2023 Suzuki DR-Z400SM <p>Suzuki's 2023 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.</p><p>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.</p><strong>Features may include: </strong><ul><li><p>Suzuki's Supermotard model, based on the proven DR-Z400S, combines Supermotard style and features in a narrow, lightweight, street-legal package</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Versatile and strong, 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine has push-button starting</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>SuperMoto boasts fully adjustable MX-style suspension plus high-grip sportbike tires on strong spoke wheels featuring anodized, aluminum Excel rims</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>The new Grand Blue and Solid Black or the returning Solid Special White No. 2 bodywork with angular graphics complement the motorcycle’s styling.</p></li></ul><strong>Engine</strong><ul><li><p>Lightweight, 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong, tractable power.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>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.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Simple electric starting is powered via a lightweight starter motor with an automatic mechanical decompression system.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>SCEM-plated cylinder (nickel-silicon-phosphorus) is lighter and more durable than an iron liner and has excellent heat transfer properties.</p></li></ul><strong>Transmission</strong><ul><li><p>Compact, five-speed transmission utilizes a cable-operated clutch with a separate magnesium outer cover for simplified clutch maintenance.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Low-maintenance, long-life, sealed O-ring type drive chain produces minimal sounds when riding.</p></li></ul><strong>Chassis</strong><ul><li><p>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.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>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.</p></li></ul><ul><li><p>Long travel, Showa inverted front fork is derived from the RM250 and feat
