Superb stance: Even at standstill, the bike catches glances.

Pickup: Bike literally runs in 4-5k rpm range. Somwhow, I felt she is not picking up in 6th gear, but this being a new machine, I am williing to give her some time to adjust herself.

Some rattling noise comes when I accelerate, something in front is slightly loose. WIll get it tightened from Suzuki guys.

Headlight is pathetic. Will have to do something about it ASAP.

Horn is good. Loud and clear!

The gear shifter is smooth, but the heel shifter is wayyyy up. I had to struggle hard to find it. I will ask the SC to adjust it.

As reported by others, the 3.5k rpm vibrations are noticable. They are precisely at 3.5k, not above or below it. In fact, I can feel when the bike crosses 3.5k rpm from above or below by the vibrations! Also the rear brake are not good. The front brakes do their job good. If you are rear brake only guy, then you will develop right leg muscles, by pressing that brake hard

So thats it. Glad to finally own GS150R. Will be posting my experiences and reading others regularly

congrats, i think i will get mine today.

I am planning to use kick start at the start of the day, and then for rest of the day I'll use buttons start. I was surprised to see that the kick start works even when I am pressing clutch! I was kicking the bike with clutch pressed to allow the oil run through, before giving it final kick to start, suddenly it started, taking me by surprise!

Guess I'll have to do the above chore when the bike is switched off, and not just by pressing clutch when it's on.

riazmomin · 06-10-2009, 11:13 AM

I have been following the below method in the days when I owned CBZ -X.

Before starting the bike first time for the day. I use only the Kick Start, With ignition tuned off. Kick the bike few times like 5-6 times with clutch engaged and 5-6 times with clutch disengaged....alternate times. This helps the stagnant oil in the crank to push up into the engine and between the clutch plates and gears too. This helps engine to be pre-lubricated before it actually runs on its own.

Later I kick start the bike and keep it on idle for atleast 3-40 secs before starting the ride.

And not crossing 3500RPM for 3-4 kms.

This has been usefull mechanism for me.

The first impressions done by the high end moderators are quite in-depth and informative.. if we can match that level

then i dont think the moderators will have any problems with it..

Guys what the difference b/w LED & ordinary bulb?? Has anyone touched the bikes top speed??? i have touched a maximun of 90km/hr.....no vibs

Well, I dont own a GS 150R but as am with a Suzuki Dealer so I happen to ride GS 150R quite often.
Last evening I took the GS for a short spin and I tried to see the best and the worst of it.
My observations are:
No doubt its butter smooth even in comparison to Hondas( I own a 2007 Zma with 35k on Odo)
the low end is good, six speed definitely smoothens the ride to a great extent.
The acceleration was Decent enough, not mind blowing.
Braking was good, no issues with a rear Brakes.
Top Speed thus attained was 114 on the speedo. the 0-80 was good, 80-95 was decent. 95-100 was sluggish and it took ages to cross the three figures, 114 was attained after ages.
seating was more comfortable in comparison to Zma,and the bike was a Darling to take to cornors, loved those foot peg scrapping turns.

all in all, it is a good 150ccbike for 60k.

hell_glider · 06-10-2009, 06:13 PM

so whats the ownership count at now ? i believe there was a running count that was being maintained. any official sales numbers / figures from suzuki. would really help to get an idea of how this bike is moving.

congrats to all the new owners of the GS150

happy and safe riding !!! cheers !!!!
