==Description==
1976 witnessed the debut of both the SR400—a bike with a super-long reign as a top seller in the mid-range class and that even now maintains a deep-rooted popularity in Japan—and its sister bike, the SR500. The SR400 was born with the air-cooled, 4-stroke, overhead cam, 2-valve, single-cylinder, 399cc engine from the big XT500 off-roader, but with a shortened stroke and refined for road sports use.
Equipped with a decompression lever, dry sump oil lubrication that used a portion of the frame for its tank, and a kick indicator for the kick-start engine, the SR400 started more easily than any single-cylinder motorcycle had up to that point. The front fork, the rims and the brakes were all taken from the TX650 and the tires employed a semi-block pattern for running on dirt, like a flat-tracker.
In 1985, a drum brake was adopted in the front, and the front wheel size was dropped from 19 inches to 18 in order to produce a retro look. Greater reliability was also targeted for the engine through a change in oil lines as well as other parts. From 2001, hydraulic front disc brakes were installed, and the SR400 evolved to a machine that provided even greater enjoyment during acceleration and deceleration than was usual for a sports bike.
Since this is a single-cylinder bike, you'll experience the advantages of the lightweight, compact, slim body as soon as you get on. Not only is it easy to balance at a stop, but Yamaha's return of the footpeg position to that of the initial model, coupled with the repeated improvements made to the seat, were also effective in creating a comfortable riding position with only a slight bending of the knees.
The motor is still kick-started, but no special knack is required; the engine awakens with only a grip of the decompression lever and a light step down on the kick pedal, without any need whatsoever to think about top dead centre.
Handling displays a calm, straightforward character from beginning to end, and the engine also doesn't necessarily value response over all else. Rather than winding all the way up to high revs, shift up a little bit early and you'll experience a smoother ride while enjoying the beat of the engine and the surrounding scenery. That's the kind of relaxed running that's most suitable for the gorgeous SR400.
