My bike run so far 450 KM only ,i m not able to find the mileage using reserve to reserve,Bcos after reserve i put 1.20ltr after some km it came again to reserve, then if again i put 1.20ltr it takes more than 70km for reserve again,
the mechanic told me when u fill for fuel it will go other side of tank,even in my pulsar(old) happen like this,so instead of reserve to reserve, best way to check mileage is tank full , ride for say 100 or 150 km(3 to 4 days of city ride) then fill again.U can get almost accurate mileage.
Yes sun will evoporates the fuel, if park long time in sun with fuel cork in on condition,My bike tire pressure also reduced to 15psi in front and 25psi in back
I m getting vibration or resonance sound at speed 45 to 50kmph, which i noticed later after some km running from delivery period,but that disappeared after that speed(it comes in my previous old bike CBZ at speed 60kmph)

Other problem i faced is if the fuel knob at ON position,some kids playing with the knob if they turned opposite direction instead OFF position it slips to reserve(bcos of it is plastic) in all other bike(even suzuki zeus) it is in metal and won't move wrong side

I Am confused with fuel guage,how much fuel for one bar(in manual it mention that if last bar blinks , then u have approx 1.5ltr)
Finally as every one told I luv this bike .......]

Hey,
Keep the fuel off when you park your bike for long time after a run. Petrol evaporates even due to the heat from the engine.

Tips on Filling your Vehicles...
This is a Message received from a friend:

So here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every liter.

ONLY BUY OR FILL UP YOUR CAR OR BIKKIE IN THE
EARLY MORNING WHEN THE GROUND TEMPERATURE IS STILL COLD. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground, the denser the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.... your liter is not exactly a liter.

In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products play an important role. A
1degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps..

WHEN YOU'RE FILLING UP, DO NOT SQUEEZE THE
TRIGGER OF THE NOZZLE TO A FAST MODE. If you look, you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode, you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created, while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor.
Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TIPS IS TO FILL UP
WHEN YOUR TANK IS HALF FULL. The reason for this is, the more fuel you have in your tank, the less air occupying its empty space. Petrol evaporates faster than you can imagine. Petroleum storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the petrol and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.

Unlike service stations, here where I work, every truck that we load is temperature compensated, so that every liter is actually the exact amount.

ANOTHER REMINDER, IF THERE IS A FUEL TRUCK
PUMPING INTO THE STORAGE TANKS, WHEN YOU STOP TO BUY, DO NOT FILL UP - most likely the petrol/diesel is being stirred up as the fuel is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.


Hope, this will help you get the maximum value for your
Money.

Well frankly when I drove the bike for the first time even I was like not impressed with the Disc, but the test/demo bike had the brakes perfect so as I said I took the gamble, but for me brakes were drastically improved after the first service, and I not bother to ask what did they do.......

Take it to some other SC and then try. Break Oil isnt changes every service, If u seriously feel the quality is deteriorating day by day yes you can ask for replacement as the bike is under warrenty (but you gotta fight for it with ofcourse proof)

i think suzuki was in a lot of hurry to launch the gsr

otherwise it would have probably really challenged the legacy that unicorn has set

@ sam
bro i feel you are lucky to get a good piece

also the sc guys employed by suzuki are lame like a mule and much worse than local gully mechs .......... atleast as far as i know
or they are reluctant to change anything.........or are too lazy

braking is one of the most important factors n basic one which is needed to be good for safety
but still as a sam says it improves
it must be so but they could have come up with something better
n they should if they want to win over uni otherwise its a distant dream

and someone over here said that S on the majestic fuel tank is injustic
lol brother it is their logo,,,,, even on the mighty busa..... there is the same S

Yesterday i saw a big Pulsar 150. Then damned myself coz it was a GSR150!

The GSR 150 looks quite big on the road.

Shadowfax

Bro... have u purchased GS ?? I thought u were confused in karizma-r and unicron

alkemyst

guys, 1 ques.. if the vapors can sucked up back to the storage tank, wat good it will do? Will the vapors condense and form the petrol again?
If yes, then the same thing will happen in bike's petrol tank too.. at high temp it will become vapor but as the vapors wont go out, at low temp it will condense back as petrol.. right??

+1 to that..
@sam - u are really lucky dude

most of the bike had disc brake on right side , but in GSR 150 it is in left side,is any bike had disc in left side?

Shadowfax

so far issues noticed are-

1) vibrations at 3k rpm
2) rust in tank
3) weak disc brake

In spite of all issues Im conveinced that as a package, GS150R is the best bike in sub 70k 150cc class... especially when compared with pulsar and cbz-xtreme... only it may be beaten by unicorn in terms of quality. i kinda feel that some ppl generally overexpect from this bike. c'on man.. this is 1st gen bike. and we compare it with 4th gen unicorn, 3rd (or 4th?) gen cbz and 3/4th gen pulsar... 1st gen bike has some issues though. problems get rectified first and then are solved in the next gen of any vehicle, isn't it ? even see FZ, it has some issues too!! No bike is 100% perfect. only that percentage is more or less.
Best of luck everyone!!
My GS150R will arrive in June.
