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.
1982 Suzuki DR 500 S
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.
