Suzuki clarified that the rear brake caliper assembly, dedicated to the V-Strom 250, was installed on the Gixxer 250 and Gixxer SF 250, leading to improper contact between the brake pads and brake discs. This improper contact might lead to uneven wear and tear of the pads, further leading to inefficient braking performance. Previously, Suzuki Motorcycle India issued a recall for the Suzuki Gixxer 250, Gixxer SF 250, and the V-Strom SX in February 2024, over an engine camshaft issue.

The Suzuki Gixxer 250 and the Gixxer SF 250 are powered by a 249cc single-cylinder SOHC 4V oil-cooled engine, capable of churning out about 26.5 hp and 22 Nm, mated to a 6-speed gearbox.
