EVERY GSX-R built between 2005 and 2013 is being recalled.
"The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued a massive recall for Suzuki's GSX-R sportbikes. The potential number of units affected is 210,228, including 2004-2013 model year Suzuki GSX-R600 and GSX-R750 as well as 2005-2013 GSX-R1000?s. According to the notice, ?in combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake.?
G'head and read the rest, it's actually a pretty interesting story of engineering forensics... btw, from the article it sounds like Suzuki is taking the lead on this and initiating the recall, not being forced into it by NHTSA.
