High-Performance 4-Stroke Machine Arrives At The Off-Road Arena
The compactness, lightweight and agility like that of a 2-stroke motocrosser, and the broad,
tractable power and torque of a large-displacement 4-stroke engine -- you can have it all, with the DR-Z400E.
The compact, liquid-cooled, high-compression-ratio, 398 cc engine is precisely integrated into the narrow shaped
and highly rigid frame fitted with a long-travel, multi-adjustable suspension, large disc brakes and lightweight aluminum wheels
-- all coming together for an exhilarating, dirt-kicking, mud-slinging and hill-climbing performance.
398cc, 4-stroke, liquid-cooled, DOHC, 4-valve engine produces broad, tractable
power and torque, and features compact, streamlined design for the double
advantage of low engine positioning and extra-slim, off-road rider-friendly
chassis.
Suzuki Composite Electrochemical Material (SCEM) plated engine's aluminum
cylinder for durability, weight reduction and superior heat transfer.
Dry-sump oiling system makes the crankcase compact.
Magnesium-alloy clutch, magneto and cam covers contribute to weight reduction.
Digitally mapped DC-CDI system monitors throttle position/engine rpm and
adjusts ignition timing to maintain efficient combustion.
Rider-friendly electric engine starter with compact electric starter motor.
Automatic decompression system lifts one exhaust valve at cranking rpm for
easy starting.
Catalyzer for European market keeps emissions low.
Powerful 250mm (9.8in.) front disc brake with dual-piston caliper and
220mm (8.7in.) rear disc brake with single-piston caliper.
The DR-Z400E's bodywork features smooth transitions between the tail and
seat to facilitate machine control on off-road.
Long-travel, 49mm-stanchion-tube front fork with protective rubber boots and
progressive-linkage rear suspension system are both multi-adjustable.
Progressive-linkage rear shock absorber system for excellent rear wheel traction.
Aluminum-alloy engine protector to cover the bottom of engine.
Narrow frame made of thin, round and rectangular chrome-moly steel tubes for
exceptional torsional rigidity with minimum weight and lightweight aluminum
bolt-on rear subframe.
Air filter can be accessed with your bare hands, grease nipples of the swingarm
pivot and shock absorber linkage bearing, and clutch cover can be removed
without draining the engine coolant all for easy maintenance.
Easy-to-read multi-function digital instrument includes speedometer, odometer,
dual tripmeters with both addition and subtraction functions, clock and
stopwatch with subtraction capability.
Headlight and lightweight LED taillight.
