The SVC is choc a bloc with vehicles, and it is clear they are having a tough time managing the rush.

Goes to show that suzuki service support is becoming pathetic.. is it so hard to open a few more service centers in a major metro like chennai for a reputed manufacturer like suzuki ? I stay in adyar, so going to porur is a pain, and am left with no choice but to keep going to abt till the warranty period is over

Anyway, the only +ve news is that ABT suzuki has started doing TEFLON coating (using 3M ) for INR300 bucks

. So am having that done also. Saw an orange GS which had already been teflon coated, and it looked AWESOME. It had "raj" and "xbhpian" stickers on it. was that you Raj ??

The bike itself is very smooth now. Had changed to shell FS at 10.5k. The engine is revving better and have been able to ride at 80-90kph speeds for hours on the highway with great overtaking performance and no overheating. Only gearshifts are sometimes smooth and sometimes not so.. Have asked SVC to check out the same.

take care and ride safe.

Srinivas

yup that's my bike

and i gave it for service on friday morning and it was ready by yesterday evening but today morning around 9.30 i took my bike. coating looks cool

. But they didnt do the promised rectifier change from BA to CA said "no stock" and they tightened the chain too much. i sat there for 1 hr and corrected all problems before taking the delivery. Also bought oil filter for 35 rupees. i will change myself. even the manual says to drain the oil when engine hot the SVC themselves wont do that

petronas sprinta here i come

Do any one know where we can get Motul 20W40 in chennai ??? I asked in one shop in GP road... He said Motul has stopped production

... I just laughed within myself and came out of the shop... He also said that 20W40 is same in all brands...

.... By the way... Have to give my bike for service sometime this week... so thought will change to Motul...

I dont know if this is normal with all bikes or its a characteristic of GS only, but oils just dont seem to last long enough in our bike..
I usually use the mineral oils for 1200kms and change.. only once i've used an oil for 1500kms. it was pretty bad after 1000kms..

Guess that SJCS spoils the oil much before the drain interval..

I think BLITZ was able to use petronas for around 2k kms and then it became rough.. but in other bikes i guess the oil has lasted 5k kms..

as per my knowledge & my local mechanic's suggestion ANY oil turns black in the 500kms only in 4 strokes.
