About the Suzuki GN400
Brake and clutch service for the GN400, with model suffixes and brake positions kept clear.
A GN400 brake overhaul starts by distinguishing the rear drum assembly from the caliper that uses disc pads. Clutch work introduces another detail: the selected plate lists GN400E, GN400T and GN400X applications. Keeping the brake position and full model designation on the repair list helps turn a broad GN400 search into a specific parts order.
Compare brake-shoe and pad applications separately
The featured rear shoes list GN400 1980–1982, while the selected disc pads list GN400 1980. The clutch plate lists GN400E 1980, GN400T 1981–1982 and GN400X 1980–1981. A matched rear-shoe entry can support that brake repair without extending the disc-pad or clutch coverage.
Know your GN400 before choosing partsGN400 repair checkpoints
Use the checkpoints below to prepare the parts list for your repair.
Rear drum
1980–1982 rear-shoe application
The selected shoes explicitly list the rear position for GN400 1980–1982. A disc pad is a different component and needs its own caliper application.
Disc pads
1980 is the selected pad listing
The linked pads list GN400 1980. Confirm brake position and fitted caliper from the product and the motorcycle; the rear-shoe range does not extend this pad listing.
Clutch suffixes
E, T and X entries have different years
The featured clutch plate names GN400E 1980, GN400T 1981–1982 and GN400X 1980–1981. Match the complete designation instead of dropping the suffix.
Identify your motorcycle before orderingGN400 identification checklist
Record the motorcycle’s identification and check for replacement assemblies before choosing service parts.
- Record the complete GN400 model designation and year using the bike’s identification and model documentation.
- Inspect the front and rear brake assemblies separately, noting hub or caliper changes and the old shoe or pad profile.
- Compare the clutch plate type and profile with the assembly, preserving the E, T or X application used by the product.
