The 2022 Suzuki DR-Z400S Is a Dual-Sport Icon

Contents​


The Suzuki DR-Z400S has been around for over two decades now and, despite its age, is still one of the most capable dual-sport motorcycles you can get your hands on. With its 398cc, four-stroke, liquid-cooled, single-cylinder engine producing 39hp and 29lb-ft of torque, you can ride this little Japanese motorcycle to a trail and through it without thinking twice. The bike comes with a Mikuni 36mm carburetor with a deceleration enricher circuit for a smoother throttle response.

Considering its off-road intent, the DR-Z400S comes with some pretty impressive hardware. Suspension duties at the front are handled by a fully adjustable 49mm cartridge fork that offers 11.3 inches of travel. The rear monoshok, adjustable for compression and preload, provides 11.6 inches of travel. Like a proper dirt bike, the DR-Z400S has a 21-inch front wheel and an 18-inch rear wheel, shod in Dunlop D208 dual-purpose tires.

The 2022 Suzuki motorcycle lineup also includes a DR-Z400SM, a ‘SuperMoto’ iteration based on the same platform. This year, the DR-Z400S is available in just one color scheme — Solid Iron Gray with Solid Black.

The 2022 Suzuki DR-Z400S starts at $6,999 USD / $7,799 CAD.

2022 Suzuki DR-Z400S Features​

Key Features​


A compact design, 398cc, DOHC, liquid-cooled, dry-sump engine produces strong low-rpm power. Its compact, four-valve cylinder head features large 36mm intake valves and 29mm exhaust valves to help produce broad, tractable power and torque that’s ready for any terrain.

Simple electric starting via a lightweight starter motor with an automatic mechanical decompression system.

Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Materials (SCEM) cylinder is durable and lightweight and provides superior heat transfer.

Digitally-mapped DC-CDI system monitors throttle position/engine rpm and adjusts ignition timing to maintain efficient combustion.

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.

Magnesium-alloy clutch, magneto, and cylinder head covers contribute to the bike’s low weight.

Thermostatically-controlled cooling fan mounted to the left radiator helps maintain consistent operating temperature.

Engine 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​


A narrow frame combines thin chrome-moly steel tubes for exceptional torsional rigidity 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 and simplify maintenance.

Long travel (11.3-inch), 49mm cartridge-style fork has protective rubber boots plus adjustable compression/rebound damping and adjustable spring preload for smooth performance on all types of on- and off-road terrain.

Rear shock absorber features 11.6 inches of travel, compression damping/preload adjustments, and connects to a lightweight aluminum swingarm through a progressive linkage system.

Spoke-style 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels with new blacked-out aluminum rims are fitted with Dunlop D208 dual-purpose tires. The wheels are sized perfectly to accept popular dual sport tires and are set up to accept rim-locks when a more aggressive tread pattern is used.

Sure stopping power is supplied by a 250mm front disc with a dual-piston caliper and a 220mm rear disc brake with a single-piston caliper.

Special design mirrors rotate to avoid damage in case of impact.

A pouch on the rear fender carries the tool kit, owner’s manual, or other cargo.

Off-road inspired gray and black bodywork has bold black, silver, and yellow graphics.

Electrical Features​


Electric start system provides convenient operation and features a lightweight starter motor and a compact, 6.5-amp, maintenance-free battery.

Compact digital instrument cluster includes speedometer, odometer, twin-trip meters with addition/subtraction capability, clock, timer, and stopwatch functions.

On-road legal lighting includes bright 60/55-watt H4 halogen headlight, compact tail/stoplight, lightweight, rubber-mounted turn signals, and horn.

Additional Features​


Genuine Suzuki Accessories include a low-profile seat, cargo rack, handguard set, and more.

12-month limited warranty. Longer coverage periods with other benefits available through Suzuki Extended Protection (SEP).*

*Subject to separate coverage for certain parts and the exclusions and limitations described in the New On-Road Motorcycle Limited Warranty.
