Title: Differences between LS650 and LS400
Post by Tico on 11/30/05 at 14:22:59

Do you know if is there any difference between this two bikes?.

Two things for starters. Engine size and final drives. The 650 uses a drive belt and the 400 uses chain. I don't think the 400 was ever marketed in the U.S. either. I believe Red_Wine's ride is the LS400. He may know more off-hand.

I have an LS400 too. AFAIK the engine and the drive are the only two differences as Savage_Rob mentioned.

The other difference is in the head, the 650 has hydraulic lifters, whereas the 400 (my ride) has a different camshaft and valve actuators.

How about the bore and stroke on the 400cc, bet Suzuki kept the same stroke on both engines and ran a smaller piston on the 400. Beside the chain drive on the 400 they are the same as far as I know. :-/
