Affected models

The issue
On certain motorcycles, the rear brake reservoir cap screws may not have been tightened properly. As a result, the screws could loosen and cause brake fluid to leak from the rear brake master cylinder reservoir. This could cause reduced braking.
Safety risk
Reduced braking can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash.
What to do

To find out whether your motorcycle is affected, contact a Suzuki dealer with your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy.
