Suzuki Dr-z 400s
The Suzuki Dr-z 400s has a top speed of 145 km/h, produces 39 hp and weighs 148 kg. Motoryk rates it 8.5/10.
O Suzuki DR-Z400S foi lançado em 2000 como uma versão esportiva dupla da plataforma DR-Z400 legal para uso em ruas, projetada para preencher a lacuna entre a capacidade off-road e a usabilidade diária na estrada. Ele rapidamente ganhou a reputação de sua confiabilidade à prova de balas, fornecimento de potência tratável e forte suporte pós-venda, tornando-o um favorito entre pilotos de aventura e iniciantes. O modelo sofreu poucas mudanças durante sua produção, uma prova de quão bem o design original foi executado, e permanece em produção em muitos mercados até hoje.

O que os compradores devem saber
Bulletproof Engine Reliability
The DRZ400S is widely regarded as one of the most reliable dual-sport engines ever built, with many owners reporting 20,000+ miles with minimal issues when properly maintained. Its simple carbureted design makes it easy and cheap to service.
Watch the Carb & Valves
Common issues include a clogged pilot jet from ethanol-blend fuel sitting idle, and valve clearances that should be checked every 6,000 miles to prevent hard starting. Always ask sellers for maintenance records on these two items.
Strong Resale Value
The DRZ400S holds its value exceptionally well due to high demand and a cult following, often selling used for close to original MSRP in good condition. Its timeless design and parts availability since 2000 make it a smart long-term investment.
Gerações e especificações por ano
Versão inicial com monomotor de quatro tempos refrigerado a líquido de 398 cc, carburador Mikuni BSR36, configuração dual-sport, e-start e kickstart.
"A referência esportiva dupla que ainda envergonha os novos pretendentes."
Eu percorri 22.000 km em um DRZ-S 2003 em trilhas de incêndio, trajetos rodoviários e tudo mais — essa coisa simplesmente se recusa a quebrar. O carburador BSR36 sai de fábrica com pouca carga e a tampa da caixa de ar é uma piada, mas um rejato e a remoção da tampa de $40 despertam consideravelmente o motor; após a modificação, ele puxa de forma limpa da marcha lenta para o teto de 8.500 rpm com um latido mecânico satisfatório. Esse assento de 920 mm é genuinamente alto e punirá passageiros mais baixos em dias prolongados, e a suspensão é configurada para um passageiro de 70 kg no cascalho — carregue-o com bagagem ou leve-o para a pista em ritmo acelerado e ele flutua nervosamente. Ainda assim, a confiabilidade do e-start, a extremidade inferior à prova de balas e a forma como ela lida com o trabalho off-road real sem parecer uma bicicleta de estrada comprometida fazem com que seja a resposta honesta quando alguém pergunta qual esporte duplo realmente comprar.

Avaliação do comprador usado
"The used dual-sport benchmark — buy the cleanest example you can find."
$2,500-$5,500 usedThe DRZ400S is one of those rare bikes that just refuses to die, and that's both its greatest strength and the reason you'll find sketchy examples everywhere. These things get thrashed hard by every overconfident weekend warrior who ever watched a dirt bike YouTube video, so buying used means doing your homework. Check the subframe for cracks, inspect the fork seals, and look for the telltale signs of a dropped bike — because most of them have been dropped. A lot. Get a good one though, and you're laughing. The carbureted motor is bulletproof when maintained, pulls cleanly from idle, and makes enough power to be genuinely fun on trails without terrifying you on the road. The Mikuni BST40 carb is the weak spot — jets gum up if it's been sitting, and a proper carb clean plus rejetting for your altitude is money well spent. Budget for it upfront. This is the dual-sport benchmark for good reason. Parts are cheap, mechanics know them, and the riding position suits almost everyone. Just buy the cleanest one you can afford.
