What kind of oil does a Suzuki drz400 use?
20W50 full synthetic motorcycle specific any name brand. Unless you generally need to start it under 32 F. then run 10/40. Sprocket bolts are a special shape. 8mm but you need to buy a specific sprocket bolt for replacement. I don’t think Suzuki made SM in 02. So if 02, it is a conversion.

Is the drz400 an easy motor to work on?
I will say that compared to my DR600, the DRZ is an easy motor to work on, well laid out with reasonable access in the frame. My only gripe would be that carb removal & installaton is a PITA. I also removed the breather/catch tank & used a large bore fuel T-piece to route the hoses back in the airbox to carb pipe.
