Sorry i forgot to mention pulsar 180 ug4 and not pulsar 150.
I liked the clip on handle bar,split seat etc etc in the 180.. only -ve points were mileage of 40kmpl, and its too common.

In my personal opinion..is go with GS....Pulser is too common today....GS is far better look than pulser...if u looking for solid power,gs is not for u...if u need smooth gs is for all....i can say GS is a 2 WHEEL CAR

Is the rusting problem serious. I see many people having that issue now.
Please help me decide between gs150 and pulsar.
I'm not that much interested in performance,i'd prefer a good looking bike which gives mileage and doesnt have problems.
Hey don't worry ! There is nothing serious problem with GS. The rust is mostly in the mouth. And it goes when u wipe with cloth. That doesn't make any harm to bike. Many ppl got their tank replaced. Many bikes have rust in different parts. Don't think too much about rust. Im hoping that Suzuki will find some solution.
And buddy don't think pulsar will be free from rust. U want problem free bike then only unicorn is benchmark. If u really want smoothness, ride comfort, mileage with good looks, GS is the only 150cc bike in market !!

@everybody else:

I've a query. While starting my bike in morning, I pull choke all the way towards me and use kick starter. Bike just starts in 1st kick. But I don't press clutch. I want to know is this ok ? Bcos normally we have to press clutch for starting. Is it ok ?

Please don't make your bike get used to choke start everday. It will refuse to start without choke later on. I have not even used the choke 5 times in 5 years on my Fiero F2. Even after a hiatus of 3 weeks, it started with a single kick.
Use the kick starter for cold starts (1st start every morning, after gap of more than 2-3 hours etc.)&button rest of the time.

Each morning, I have made this a habbit:

Without switching on, kick the lever 7-8 times, simultaneously pressing and releasing the clutch. This helps in circulating oil. Then, the bike is switched on, and started in the next kick. Keep it running atleast 15-30 seconds idle, and then move on. This ensures the petrol flow is smooth, and the engines remains good for the whole day.

The thing about rust is, metal is probably getting eaten away in another place, forming rust particles and getting deposited near the mouth of the tank. So wiping the mouth doesnt really solve the problem.
Anyway i spoke to some suzuki mechanic, he said this is happening because suzuki isnt plating the tank surface.
Hopefully they'll start plating the tanks soon..

Are u sure about this ? How can particles come up at mouth and deposit there ? I've heard this for 1st time..... if rust is not at mouth, why particles don't remain at the original rusted place ?

I think it a better idea guys....just spray the Rustlick....whever areas are prone to get rusted...and just forget about the rust issue.....
Only if it is really serious like in the tank....you can get it replaced....

Well I think the bike should not be judged by some rusting problem.....metal is always metal and it sometimes rusts....

Decide the bike on its performance...overall package....and the feel good feeling....In all these aspects I think the GS is the best in the category.....Of course there is the Uni....but the GS has a awsome road presence...killer looks.......so go for it ....
