If your Suzuki Altos brakes feel less responsive, there could be several causes:

Worn-out Brake Pads: Over time, brake pads wear down, reducing their ability to grip the brake disc effectively. This can lead to reduced braking performance.
Low Brake Fluid: If the brake fluid level is low o r contaminated, the braking system may not perform optimally, causing the brake pedal to feel soft o r unresponsive.
Air in the Brake Lines: Air trapped in the brake lines can lead to reduced braking pressure and cause the brakes to feel spongy.
Damaged Brake Components: If parts like the master cylinder, brake calipers, o r brake discs are damaged o r corroded, it can compromise the effectiveness of your brakes.
Solution: Have your brake pads, brake fluid, and components inspected regularly. If the brake fluid is low o r dirty, it should be replaced, and any worn o r damaged brake parts should be replaced to restore braking efficiency.
