Suzuki DR400 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1980)

The 1980 Suzuki DR400 was a significant off-road and dual-sport motorcycle, marking a new era for Suzuki's single-cylinder lineup. Powered by a 396 cc, four-stroke, single-cylinder engine, it offered robust performance for its time. This model year was unique, introducing the DR400 series and featuring two distinct trims to cater to both street-legal and pure off-road enthusiasts. For 1980, Suzuki offered the road-legal DR400S, equipped with mirrors and turn signals, and the lighter, off-road specific DR400, featuring longer front forks and an alloy tank. This inaugural year for the DR400 also represented a transition, being the last to feature a twin-shock rear suspension before the series evolved and was eventually replaced by the DR500. The engine itself saw minor updates, including a larger bore and a new ignition system. Q: How do I ensure I select the correct parts for my 1980 Suzuki DR400?
