This can cause the clutch to fail to disengage (even when the lever is pulled), causing it to drag. The vehicle may move unexpectedly with a gear engaged, even with the clutch pulled, increasing the risk of injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheeled vehicles and quadricycles.

Product: Motorcycle
Name: GSX1300R (HAYABUSA)
Brand: Suzuki
Product Description: Motorcycle
Type of Risk: Risk of injuries
Due to an oil additive in the membrane, the primary sleeve in the master cylinder has swollen and may block the bore. Cooling of the brake fluid may cause a drop in pressure in the braking system, causing the brake caliper pistons to retract. This may cause greater play in the brake lever. The brake lever may contact the throttle grip, leading to increased braking distance. This increases the risk of accidents and injuries. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheeled vehicles and quadricycles.

When the clutch lever is pulled and a gear is engaged, the vehicle may move unexpectedly, and the rider may lose control of the motorcycle, creating a risk of accident and injury. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of two- or three-wheeled vehicles and quadricycles.
