Claimed [[horsepower]] was 37.15 HP (27.7 KW) @ 7000 RPM. 
 
Changes between the S3 and KH400 was in the lowering of [[horsepower]], color, markings, [[carburetor]] settings, handlebar grips, and spark plug. A [[CDI ignition]] was added as well as water-resistant brake pads, and three-[[fuse]] system adopted.
 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] in-line three, two-stroke. A 57.0mm [[bore]] x 52.3mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 400.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a [[port]] control. 
 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wep multi-discs. 
 
==Chassis==
It came with a 3.25-18 front [[tire]] and a 3.50-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via single disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telescopic hydraulic forks while the rear was equipped with a Dual shocks, Swing arm. The KH400 was fitted with a 3.7 Gallon (14.00 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 53.7 inches (1364 mm) long.
