2. Started at 6.30 morning from pune, reached Hyd by the 5:30 PM with consistently riding at 70-75KMPH. (581 KMs in 12 hours)
No issues in this journey. absolutely smooth riding and no back/wrist pains. Now my GS crosses 5000 on odo in 5 months.

Great ride with Great bike...
Congo bro....hope you have relished your drive.......how are the roads.....pune to hyd? how much fuel efficiency did you got?

Saboo suzuki,secundrabad is the best service point for our gs in Hyderabad

Guyz,let me know what might be the prob or what needs to be checked....


@vishnu.....what are the tools that need to be bought for our gs as tool kit(apart from what have been provided in the tool kit, if they are good enough)
Check Air-filter element. clean if dirty.
there might be this tank vacuum thing, check all those pipes below tank and a small hole in brim of tank. ensure they are free and working.
If this also is not the cause....if they have cleaned carb and there is still jerking, then do this simple check.
1. Take a clean pan/vessel.
2. switch off fuel cock.
3. put open end of drain pipe on lowermost part of carb. in pan.
4. Open drain screw in lowermost part of carb.
5. check contents in pan for traces of dirt or water.
6. just to confirm open the fuel cock a little in On/ res position and let some fuel flow in pan.
7. close drain screw until it feels tight.
7. If there are no traces of water/ dirt then check spark plug adapter cap.
Something else might be there...but then that goes in electricals.
correct me if I am wrong in diagnosis.

Regarding jerking, maybe choke cable is too tight. Also, could be dust in carburator and carburator may need cleaning again. Try filling fuel from a different bunk next time. Also, these new 4-stroke bikes (unicorn, gs150, apache, fz, sz-r all included) have so many tubes going into the carburator, it could be dust any of those.

Engine louder, check idle rpm. Maybe showroom guys set it too high.

Guys..new GS is coming in 2-3 months...engine change is unlikely...but it might get different shape or graphics. It's still under testing and company has not yet decided when to launch the bike. A Suzuki personnel confirmed news about current production stoppage.
Seems like Suzuki is gonna hit the competition hard this time and with Honda still struggling to cope up with demand, Suzuki has a good chance to capture the market.
From whatever I have observed at suzuki dealerships..GS and Access sales are going north..and sales people are trying to sell "OYE!!! Slingshotttt"

I too head from Bangalore showroom that new Gs is coming, but they said it wont have any major changes except maybe new colors or graphics. The showroom guys also said that they will know of the changes (if any) only when the receive the bike. I am guessing new pearl white color (as in apache and access) and copper color (as in slingshot).

If what you are saying is true, expect more plastic parts for a little weight reduction. Also, optional rear disc could come at extra cost.

I expect a slightly tuned up engine on the new GS so that the power rating now matches 15bhp in addition to new tank and grafix.

I would go for an engine exchange if that happens, judging on exactly how the performance has been increased.

I actually saw 2011 model at SMK Chennai....
This time, they have fitted chrome bordered number plates..
In the Front alloy there is a small difference compared to the previous versions.
Graphics have be changed this time...
Quality of the material used is definitely better than my 2009 model...
Thats all i could notice

Default Motor Oil for GS 150 R

I went for MOTUL 5100 ESTER 15W-50 for my GS-150R, it's semi synthetic!

does anyone has any say on it?

I dont think anyone has used 5100 in GS, atleast no one from xbhp if i'm not mistaken.
So you'll have to give us a review about the oil.

w50 isn't the right grade but since its summer i guess its ok.
