Vehicle Information
Suzuki SP 500 Motorcycle - Dual-Sport (1981-1983)
The Suzuki SP 500, produced from 1981 to 1983, was a robust dual-purpose motorcycle. It was powered by a 498 cc four-stroke, single-cylinder, air/oil-cooled engine, delivering 36 hp (26 kW) at 6,500 rpm and 42 Nm of torque at 5,000 rpm. This model featured a Mikuni BS40SS carburetor, Suzuki's Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber (TSCC) technology, a five-speed manual gearbox, and was kick start only. Throughout its production run from 1981 to 1983, the Suzuki SP 500 maintained consistent specifications with no mid-cycle generation or engine changes. The 498cc engine itself was new for the 1981 model year, incorporating counterbalancers to manage vibration. The SP 500 was offered as a single model and did not have different 'trims' in the traditional sense. Q: How can I confirm if this product fits my Suzuki SP 500?
