The third-generation Suzuki Hayabusa, which has been on sale in the country since 2021, is facing a recall for possibly all units. It is believed that the brake lever can become too loose, potentially making contact with the handlebar. This situation could lead to a dangerous scenario, which is why Suzuki has decided to take this step.
Additionally, the Hayabusa's braking performance has often been weak point of it, but the third generation addresses this by incorporating Brembo Stylema brakes with a diameter of 320 mm, which is 10 mm larger than those in the previous generation. This upgrade improves stopping power and overall braking efficiency.
Engine Specifications
It features a 1340cc inline-four cylinder engine that produces 190 bhp and 142 Nm of torque. It has a 6-speed transmission and weighs 266 kg. Other specifications include Brembo Stylema 4-piston front brakes and Nissin 1-piston rear brakes, both equipped with ABS.

Verdict
This is one of most popular sports bike in India, all thanks to a movie, which made it a part of the pop culture. People who saw it in their childhood, dream of owning the one. However, its braking issues are still not solved, and Suzuki has recalled it, which is both good but disappointing as even after three generations, its breaking issues aren't resolved.
