As per the company, the issue is due to the use of rear brake assemblies dedicated for V-Strom SX on Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250, resulting in improper contact between rear pads and brake discs. This improper contact between pads and discs will lead to uneven wear and reduced braking performance.

What next?

Now that the recall has been initiated, service centre will contact their nearest customers and schedule an appointment. Brake assemblies will be replaced by Suzuki at no additional cost passed on to the users.

Both Suzuki Gixxer SF 250 and Gixxer 250 are known to be underrated motorcycles in India and do not perform very well where sales are concerned.
