At the heart of the 2011 Suzuki DR-Z400E enduro - offroad motorcycle, Suzuki relies on a 398 cc (24.3 cu in) oil & air-cooled single cylinder, four-stroke powerplant. Internal engine geometry specifies a bore and stroke of 90.0 x 62.6 mm (3.5 x 2.5 inches) with a 12.2:1 compression ratio.
On the scales, the DR-Z400E measures 123.5 kg (272 lbs) wet (curb). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 945 mm (37.2 in) seat height — reflecting a long-travel chassis stance that favors ground clearance and off-pavement control, combined with a 1,475 mm (58.1 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 10-liter (2.6 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.
