The '''[[Suzuki]] DR500S''' was a single cylinder, [[four-stroke]] Enduro [[motorcycle]] produced by [[Suzuki]] between 1981 and 1983. It could reach a top speed of 85 mph (136 km/h). Max [[torque]] was 30.98 ft/lbs (42.0 Nm) @ 5000 RPM. Claimed [[horsepower]] was 26.42 HP (19.7 KW) @ 6500 RPM. 
==Engine==
The engine was a [[air cooled]] single cylinder, four-stroke. A 88.0mm [[bore]] x 82.0mm [[stroke]] result in a [[displacement]] of just 498.0 cubic centimeters. Fuel was supplied via a overhead cams (ohc). 
==Drive==
The bike has a 5-speed transmission. Power was moderated via the Wet multi-plate. 
==Chassis==
It came with a 3.00-21 front [[tire]] and a 4.60-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via expanding brake in the front and a expanding brake in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telescopic Showa Fork while the rear was equipped with a Swinging Arm. The DR500S was fitted with a 2.38 Gallon (9.00 Liters) fuel tank. The wheelbase was 57.91 inches (1471 mm) long.

For 1981 there was an entirely new engine, the single remnant of the old being the bore staying at 88 mm, with the stroke now growing to 82 mm for a grand total of 498 cc. A pair of counterbalancers was added to the crankshaft, one fore, one aft, as vibration did become an issue with the half-liter size. This air-cooled, wet-sump engine had a chain-driven single overhead camshaft, four valves and a compression ratio of 8.7 to 1.
