JAKARTA - Suzuki, one of India's leading automotive manufacturers through 2W, must withdraw or recall for the Gixxer 250 model, in the country due to problems.

Quoting from Rushlane's website, Monday, September 1, a total of 5,145 Suzuki Gixer units were withdrawn due to problems with rear brake rafting.

The affected motorcycles were produced between February 2022 and June 2025. The owners can check the withdrawal schedule with code VIN on the official website, or come directly to the nearest official dealer.

Based on the company's statement, the issue was caused by the use of a special V-Strom SX rear brake raft on Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250, resulting in an improper contact between the rear brake camp and the brake disk.

The improper contact between the brake camp and the disk will lead to uneven wear and reduce braking performance. The brake assembly will be replaced by Suzuki at no additional cost charged to the user.

Both the Suzuki Gixer SF 250 and the Gixxer 250 are known as underprivileged motorbikes in India and the sale is unsatisfactory. The presence of this motorbike is in response to the Pulsar Bajaj, FZ Yamaha, and Apache TVS

These two motorbikes are equipped with a 249cc one-cylinder oil-cooled SOHC 4V engine, which is capable of producing about 26 bhp of power and 22 Nm of torque, combined with 6-speed transmission.
