For reference,   member RedWine from South American (Chile?  Peru?)  has a LS400 that died.  I remember when he was here in PA , Sept of 2008, He had said that the LS650 cylinder will not fit into the LS400 lower end.

Haven't seen him on since the earthquake down there.  Hope he didn't lose the bike in the rumble.

hi guys,
i'm from Greece and i am owner of a Suzuki savage ls 400.
First of all   i'm really sorry for my english. Please inform me if anyone knows how i can improve the horsepower of my bike. it's a 1993 model.
Travelling speed max  90 kmh. i want to travel with 110-120 kmh. how i'll do it? can i put a cylinder from ls650 to my bike? please answer me if you know. Thanks a lot


My 400 does over 140 kph no hassle... Also relatively less vibration than the 650. Previous owner did install a super trap exhaust and does not back fire at all so would assume it was correctly rejetted. It does perform very well.

I have both bikes in my garage.
1992 NK41B Japanese domestic market bike and the 650 which was sold here in south africa (2004) model or k4.
In a country where virtually only the die hards who enjoy big singles and the bulk prefer twins or more cc they don't know how much fun a single can be long term.

Am I right in thinking that the 400 is chain-drive, rather than belt-drive?
If so, experimenting with the gearing becomes a lot easier.

Yep, the 400 is chain drive.

There's no problem that a full tank of gas and a sunny day can't fix!

Yes, experiment with the size of chain sprockets easier, but the 400 has a little less torque, but due to the smaller stroke of the piston has the best acceleration

Yeah, it's not bigtwin, but it is the best half of it
