The DR-Z400S is a motorcycle that’s the foundation of the modern DualSport movement. Starting with the DR350S and then again with the DR-Z400S, Suzuki made fun, reliable, and capable motorcycles available to anyone who’s ready to take a ride down their favorite off-road trail or ribbon of asphalt.
Riders will be impressed with the amount of torque coming from the 398cc, liquid-cooled powerplant, as well as the crisp handling from the adjustable suspension. This ultra-reliable bike is completely street legal, with an electric start and easy-to-read instrument cluster. The black and gray bodywork with contrasting black, silver and yellow graphics make the bike stand out on the road, on the trail, or even when parked.
Whether you're on the highway or on a twisty forest path, the Suzuki DR-Z400S can't be beat.
The DR-Z400S offers the following features (basic differences from DR-Z400E):
• Compact digital instrument cluster with speedometer, odometer, twin-trip meters with addition/subtraction capability, clock, timer and stopwatch functions
• Smooth throttle response with a MikuniT BSR36 CV-type carburetor fed by 6-liter airbox. • The left side cover has quick-release fasteners for easy access to the air filter
• Reduced compression ratio (12.2:1 to 11.3:1) for operation with 87-octane fuel
• On-road legal lighting with bright 60/55 watt halogen headlight, compact tail/stoplight, lightweight, rubber-mounted turn signals and horn
• Thermostatically-controlled cooling fan mounted to the left radiator helps maintain consistent operating temperature in traffic

Thanks for watching Motorcycles Off-road
They just haven’t figured out the ‘bold new graphics’ configuration for 2025 yet😅
Haha well it looks as the DR650 has shared the same as the 2025 model.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
As a European, I am surprised the DRZ is still sold anywhere in the world. It disappeared from the European market somewhen in the 19th century, because it didn't comply with the Victorian emission standards.
Hint to Honda .. now's the time to sneak in the injected 6-speed CRF350L.
I just made a video about the CFmoto 450mt and I talked about what people really want is a 450 rally with respectable service intervals and fixed ECU.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad Bingo. Maybe one of the manufacturers will listen. Seems Suzuki pulled the DRZ400 from its 2025 lineup .. maybe it will come back with EFI and a 6th gear? I'd buy that!
@@suzyamerica4679 I would love that, I would make it a light ADV bike and with the DRZ reliability I think you could take it across any country. I personally see that much more appealing then the CFmoto 450mt that everyone wants. Plus I really have a sweet spot in my heat for single cylinder thumpers, the DRZ brings so much torque so early that you just cant find that in a twin.
@@MotorcyclesOffroadyes that is exactly what I want.
@@suzyamerica4679 Except it will be $8999. + $600 freight + $400 assembly
I got tired of waiting for Suzuki to update the DRZ. I had a couple of them in the last 23 years so know them well. So I bought a '24 KLX300 instead. Honestly I like it better than the archaic DRZ. No regrets.
The klx is a great bike but could use 50-100 more ccs
@@joshdoddadbod It'd be almost perfect.
@@leanit5756 I did the BDSB ECU flash and it really got it close.
If Kawasaki can fuel inject the KLR, Suzuki could do the same with the DR /Drz
Just bought a 2024 S model. Chose it over the CRF300L or KLX300 due to the aftermarket support and simplicity of the motorcycle. They have such a cult following that if it is disocntinued the used market will get pricey.
Never forget the drz400 super moto. This is where there is a real void to fill, to provide something on the lines of the Ducati 698 mono, but lighter, less powerful, less expensive.
I own and ride a DRZ400S and have ran it for the past 6 of the 7 years I've owned it. Recently changed the sprockets to a 15 in the front, and 39 in the rear and it REALLY does not need a sixth gear now. Quite a cheap upgrade to, also makes the other gear ratio's longer which makes it much smoother to ride 👌
Problem with that is first gear is way too tall for tight singletrack trails. I've owned 3 of them and there's no perfect gearing.
@@toddkurtz1468 you can play with being on and off the clutch in first and unleash it at your leisure, if your clutch cables are well lubed then it's not so tiring in the wrists. Though the bike is not really built for low speed single track tight trails, more for fire roads and 4×4 safari or jungle roads in my view 👌
I geared my 400S to 15/37. It'll go 100 mph highway (actual speed 93) and 1st gear is fine for BDRs and Colorado jeep roads up to 13,000 feet elevation, which is how I use it. It's too heavy to be a real dirtbike for single track. For that I have a 300 cc 2-stroke.
Rumors only. There is no R&D required. It sells. In fact my buddy just bought a 2023 SM. And prices for used ones are in some cases more than new. I bought my 2011 in 2012 with a few miles on it from a dealer....out the door was only $4200. You still cant find a 2011 for that price. Also extremely reliable with over 54,000 miles and runs better than new.
I’m a huge fan of the DR650 and the discontinued DR250s/350s but not the DR-Z. I just don’t see how water cooling is worth the weight. A fuel injected DR350SE would get my attention at 280ish pounds wet.
I really did love my DR350s, I wished the Z was more like that bike. But if they remake it, it may be.
I've had 2 dr350s and 3 drz400s. The suspension on the 350s was vastly inferior.
I know they still sell because there is a small army of them in my area and some are brand new.
Better look again but there is a new and approved drz400
Maybe, and that’s a big maybe, they’re making a new variant from the ground up like you mentioned. It’d certainly have my attention.
Let's cross our fingers that they are doing it and doing it right.
DRZ-400x is long over due...
I have a Drz and the only thing I wish it had is another gear.
Well that might be whats coming, lets keep our fingers crossed.
So if they released a updated version with EFI you wouldn't be interested?
6th gear and EFI I think it would really make the DRZ a great bike. I would also require a fuel gage at least.
EFI would be fine but I’m cool with a carburetor, just give me a sixth gear .
@@MotorcyclesOffroad It has a fuel gauge, the trip meter.
Australia actually gets the E model
Yes I know, and this is the model I prefer. But I was pretty sure they were already discontinued there based on strict government standards, Not so much in USA we still get all walks of carb and no ABS bikes.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad They're still sold here in Aus. To my knowledge, (at least here in Victoria) any bike registered after Nov 2019 must have ABS and meet emissions. I have a registered 2016 mod so I'm all good. I would assusme this has effected sales here since 2020 as most DRZ buyers want to register their bike. It would then be only a matter of time before they're off our showrooms here to.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad the DR650 was discontinued in Aus due to lack of 2 channel ABS. The DRZ meets the criteria of an enduro motorcycle, and so does not require ABS to be sold.
@@lachlancannard Yes I just bought a 2024 DRZ400e in New Zealand. It is getting round the ABS laws as an enduro bike, as you mentioned. I feel like this won't last though, so I'm glad I've got a minter I can keep in the garage forever.
I guess after 24 years of the same bike they feel that they don't have to announce anything. It's just there.
@RayzGarage lol, but they announced the DR650 which is older 🤣
I want to see the off road trail version come back. It would be great competition for the KLX300R. I would love to see a modern XR400R on the trails.
i still prefer torque from drz 400 rather than 250/300 lawnmowers (not the real dirt bikes lol)
waiting for KX 700 SuperMoto announced by Kawasaki, gonna kick butt....
Interesting... Dealer told me last year here in australia that it would disappear along with the 650 in 2025-26 for lack of efi and abs to pass new laws!?!?
Well that is already true. But in America we still get all walks of bikes without EFI.
For suzuki to sell the 23 and 24 model drz in Australia (I own one) they had to omit the toolkit, and reduce the fuel tank capacity from 10L down to 7L, IOT reduce the weight of the bike, bikes in Australia under a certain weight, and classified as an Enduro do not require ABS or to meet some other standards. Are Australia making rules even more strict from 25?

Suzuki really needs to stay in the game, especially in California where you can only ride (basically) emissions compliant dual sport bikes off road now if they are newer than 2021. Perhaps the 400 and 650 have too much overlap and they will introduce a 300 to compete with the Kawasaki - or just partner up with them again for some badge engineering.
My prediction is fuel injection, a switchable ABS, and if we’re lucky, revised transmission ratios. I doubt we’ll see a 6th gear. The other items would enable it to stay in the Australian and American markets, and maybe would enable a return to the EU market. I hope so!
So you think the whole DRz400 line is going, "Bye bye"..... not just the "SM" model? Interesting as I was thinking about getting
one. IF true, I hope it doesn't cause the used prices to jump up.... then I would never get one & if they do close up on this they
will always have parts to fix them.... that will remain strong b/c how this bike was grandfathered in & stayed the course.
They've changed little so it's all been a money maker for years on end. Sad to hear this. peace
If Suzuki won't even update the bike the Ken Roczen is winning supercross races on, they aren't going to spend any money on this thing.
There were a lot of bikes not in the "First Wave" press release. Notably the Busa and some of the other small bore street bikes. Maybe it's finally the year, but I wouldn't put much faith in it yet based on this one omission.
Wtf are you on about, the drz has been available in Australia since day 1 and still is.
USA gets all the motorcycles, lol you don't get the drz400e (enduro) which is more powerful and lighter than the s (street model) and the e model you got for 5 years wasn't street legal. You don't get all the bikes and you have restrictive laws.
I have a drz400e is my garage right now...
And a street legal KDX200 2 stroke. Maybe what you're confusing is that the DRZ400e is sold at the dealer as "offroad" then we add a mirror and brake lights to pass on road use.
and what im on about is many European and Australia are not aloud to have new production motorcycles without abs.
Does Australia get the DR650, I honestly dont know? Did you guys get access to the KLX300 dual sport?
"While ABS was made mandatory in October 2019, models such as the Suzuki DR650SE had until now escaped the chopping block thanks to an allowance for 'unchanged' models. That allowance, however, is set to expire in October 2021, meaning those models must either be updated or phased out from the Australian market." -bikessales .com
@@MotorcyclesOffroad drz400e is street legal in australia no registering it in one state to get a title bs, you just buy it ride it away like any other bike. 2 stroke enduro bikes are also legal. usa has always had weird and restrictive laws around road trail bikes that are detrimental to the bikes design
eg the drz400s is choked up with emissions garbage and has a metal tank.
almost every dual sport/ enduro bike is sold detuned and choked up to the point of barely running in usa
dr650 was sold in australia from 1996-2022 because it's not an enduro bike and has pillion pegs it needs abs under the new law.
most bikes that aren't sold in australia, are not sold because they can't compete or are unsuitable for australian conditions.
what would australians buy a klx300 for? a farm bike
@6226superhurricane if in Australia people like the crf300l, which they do because i have seen many channels, they would also like the KLX300. Has nothing to do woth conditions, you really think that overall the conditions are harder in Australia?! In America we have every biome and some of the best and hardest riding in the world. And to the other point if you have everything you want and need then why are so many ausies whingeing about the DR650 that you dont get?
Just wondering, did you ever complete the TNJT route that you were working on? I think you may have asked for help. I was busy at the time but could help now if you are still working on it.
I have completed it for the most part. I have not had time to remap it in an ap and turn it into GPX file.
Sadly my money would be on it being discontinued in the states like it has here in New Zealand if you want a road legal one and many other countries. Happy to be proven wrong with either continuing to sell it to the USA or even better a refreshed new international launch
Basically this is my same thoughts. Thanks for the comment Blue thunder
Love my drz. Hoping for a new model, but not optimistic.
Yeah, I have my fingers crossed.
@@MotorcyclesOffroad Looks like it will reappear in Japan with fuel injection.
Thanks for the update
No problem
KTM GET IT
