2010 Suzuki GSF 1250 SA L0 1.3L Petrol · WV10 DFE

The most recent test on 7 April 2026 resulted in a pass after a same‑day failure for an inoperative registration plate lamp. The pass carries three advisories: front brake effort shows slight fluctuation, the front tyre is worn close to the legal limit, and the rear lower shock absorber bush is slightly worn. This marks a shift from the 2025 failure on excessive drive chain and sprocket wear, which was resolved by the following test, to fresh items on braking, tyre and suspension components. The overall trend shows a resolved drivetrain issue but emerging wear on safety‑critical systems. The motorcycle is 16 years old with 57,076 recorded miles, averaging roughly 3,567 miles per year. Annual tests have been carried out each April without significant gaps, and the mileage increments remain modest. Low annual use can allow rubber and hydraulic components to degrade through inactivity rather than mileage alone, a pattern consistent with the current advisories. A buyer should inspect the front brake calipers and discs for binding or uneven wear that could cause the reported fluctuation, verify the front tyre tread depth and sidewall condition, and examine the rear shock absorber lower mounting bush for play or cracking. The drive chain and sprockets, replaced after the 2025 failure, should be checked for correct tension and lubrication. Given the age, a thorough check for corrosion on frame, swingarm and brake lines is also warranted.
