About this model
About the Suzuki DR 500
The Suzuki DR500 is a large air-cooled four-stroke trail motorcycle from the early 1980s. Its 498 cc single, kick starter, five-speed gearbox and simple long-travel suspension suit roads, travel and gentle trails. DR500S denotes the road-legal version with lighting and instruments; market and year differences affect tank, brakes and exhaust. The model is an early step toward Suzuki's later DR600 and DR650 family.
The DR500 suits enthusiasts of classic big singles who accept mechanical simplicity. High kick-start compression requires the correct decompression technique; poor starting can indicate valve, carburettor or ignition issues. Inspect camshaft and cylinder head for damage caused by low oil, check frame and swingarm for trail repairs and feel for steering-head and linkage play. Original tank, side covers, exhaust and airbox are scarce. A documented standard motorcycle is worth more than a heavily modified rally or scrambler conversion.
