2010 Suzuki GSX 1250 FAL0 1.3L Petrol · RO10 DKF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a concerning trend of deferred repairs regarding braking components. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 77,145 miles passed, it followed a failure just six days prior at 77,129 miles. This failure was caused by a brake lever with insufficient reserve travel and worn brake discs, indicating that the previous owner only addressed mechanical issues once they reached a legal failure threshold rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 77,145 miles, this 16-year-old Suzuki averages a low annual usage of approximately 4,800 miles. However, the data shows a significant burst of activity between January 2024 and January 2025, where the bike covered over 4,400 miles in a single year. This rapid accumulation after long periods of lower mileage often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the onset of mechanical wear, as evidenced by the sudden appearance of a front wheel bearing failure during the January 2025 test. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking system integrity. The offside front shock absorber has shown a persistent misting of oil since at least January 2025 and remains an advisory today, suggesting a failing seal that will eventually require a unit replacement. Furthermore, the recurring fluctuation in brake effort noted in early 2025 and the worn discs flagged in 2026 suggest the hydraulic system may be aging or the calipers may be sticking. The front wheel bearing should be checked for remaining play to ensure the repair following the 2025 failure was executed correctly.
