-1056 units have been affected
-The issue is related to the front brake lever feedback
Suzuki has issued a recall for one of its most popular big bikes in India, the Hayabusa. 1056 units of the bike are a part of this recall campaign and the company should contact the customers soon.
The recall is related to a front brake issue. The official clarification of the glitch states “the front brake lever play increases, in the worst case, the lever contacts with the throttle grip and the braking distance increases.” In simpler words, the front brake lever of the affected bikes may become so soft that, on application, it might come all the way in and touch the accelerator without returning enough stopping power. This might cause the braking distance to increase thereby being hazardous in some situations.
The existing third-gen Hayabusa comes equipped with Brembo Stylema calipers up front that bite onto a pair of 320mm discs. Although not outright sharp, the bite is nice and progressive and the overall stopping power is significantly improved over its predecessor. The main highlight of the Hayabusa has always been the engine. Its 1,340cc, inline four-cylinder motor, which produces 190bhp and 142Nm, is not just profoundly punchy and thrilling but also utterly smooth and tractable which makes this one of the nicest supersports to buy and live with.
With a price tag of Rs. 16.90 lakh, ex-showroom, the Suzuki Hayabusa is also one of the most value-for-money big bikes available in India.
