How big are the forks on a Suzuki drz400?
Suzuki DRZ400 Forks. The DRZ has a set of 49mm Showa conventional forks. It’s quite unusual to get a fork of this diameter – 49mm is the biggest of the conventional forks. A big plus is the cartridge is a great design, just underdeveloped.
Can you lower the seat height on a DRZ 400?
A corbin seat will lower the seat height considerably. Lowering links will bring the bike down quite a bit, depending on the ones you buy. The links will minimize suspension travel, but probably not in a way that will be a problem for *most* wives, especially those small enough to need a lower DRZ.
When did the Suzuki DRZ 400 SM come out?
And if you aren’t interested in off-road, there was even a Supermoto version, the DRZ 400 SM, which arrived in 2005 and is far more road-orientated. After you’ve read this review and our owners’ reviews, you may want to join the Suzuki Owners’ Club to find out more and talk to current owners.
How does suspension work on a Suzuki DRZ?

Can a DRZ 400 be lowered 4 inches?
You could drop it 4 inches and still have at least 6 inches of suspension travel. The one thing that might need be done would be to change out springs. The main reason for doing this sort of lowering is that the wheels won’t bottom out against the fenders when lowered and the linkage rate stays as the factory designed it.
Which is better Suzuki DRZ or Suzuki s?
The DRZ 400 SM with its 17-inch wheels, inverted forks and uprated brakes is a far better pure road bike than the S, so have a think about if you really want to ride off-road before you decide on the DRZ model to buy.
Is the Suzuki DRZ 400 a road legal bike?
Although there were a few DRZ 400 models before the S (and a DR350 before the 400), the original one only had a kickstart and while the E did have an electric starter and was road legal, it isn’t as refined as the later S and is more a ‘legalised enduro’ than a proper dual purpose trail bike like the S.
