Whenever someone thinks of a superbike, inevitably the image of a Hayabusa pops into our minds. It won’t be wrong to say Suzuki Hayabusa is the universal epitome of performance on two wheels. Suzuki has now issued a service recall of some units of the burly sports tourer in India.
A recent media report states that the Japanese auto giant has recalled 1056 units of the Busa in India which have been manufactured between March 2021 and September 2024. This means most units, if not all, bought during the above-mentioned period have to undergo this recall.

The reason given for this recall is that the play in the front brake lever increases and in worst cases, the lever even contacts the throttle grip which may result in an increase in braking distance. This suggests that the front brake lever play can get excessive to the point that the lever may come in contact with the throttle grip which could lead to an unforeseen situation. Speaking of braking, the third-gen Hayabusa gets 320mm front and 260mm rear disc brakes with Brembo Stylema callipers.

As of now, there is no official information from Suzuki about the exact fix for this issue or an exact timeline for this recall exercise. Owners of the Busa can check if their bike is among those recalled by entering the VIN on Suzuki’s official website. Powering the Hayabusa is a 1340cc, four-cylinder, liquid-cooled engine which pumps out 190 bhp and 150 Nm of peak torque. This motor is paired with a six-speed gearbox equipped with a bi-directional quickshifter.
