Suzuki TS400 Apache Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1972-1977)

The Suzuki TS400 Apache, produced from 1972 to 1977, was a prominent big-bore two-stroke dual-sport motorcycle. Renowned for its robust 396 cc single-cylinder, air-cooled engine delivering 34 horsepower, it offered impressive versatility for both trails and roads.

While the core engine displacement and power remained consistent, the TS400 Apache underwent significant mid-cycle changes with the introduction of the TS400L model in 1975. This update featured an entirely new double cradle frame, replacing the earlier single downtube design. Key engine components like the cylinder, cylinder head, and exhaust pipe were redesigned, increasing the compression ratio from 6.8:1 to 7.3:1 and adding finning for improved cooling. The carburetion, intake, and exhaust systems were updated, and transmission gears were revised to enhance low-speed trailing capabilities. These modifications aimed to improve its performance as a dirt bike and overall ride quality. FAQ:
