    Hi Guys,

    I own "SS 125" and I am facing issue regarding Fuel Efficiency. Currently Fuel efficiency is 42 KMPL. I have taken the bike to authorized service center and they seems to be doing "Regular setting" change which of course is not doing the trick. When problem persisted even after setting changed for fuel efficiency they have suggested me to change "Filter" which might be choke up due to which fuel efficiency might be low.

    I am bit in dilemma because my father own Yamaha Crux and he have 20000 km on his odometer and he haven't changed the filter and my bike have run only 9200 km and they are asking to change filter. I do not want to try every trick that is on the card to get things straight. it would be great if I find right solution with proper reasoning and this place is perfect for my solving my query.

    Hoping to get your feedback

    Cheers!!!
    All bikes need an air filter replacement periodically. The interval of replacement varies from 10000kms to 15000kms and depends on the environment where the bike is operated. Dusty/damp environment clogs the filter sooner and needs more frequent replacement.

    It won't affect your mileage significantly - you can expect a gain of 3-5kpl at most, but your bike's performance would surely show improvement. A mileage of 40-45 is common for most Gladiators, in spite of being 125cc. I too lived with similar mileage figures (worst 29, best 52) during my ownership period

    day before yesterday got my bike serviced and yesterday i took it for some 100 kms ride and in middle of trip i found that engine is not performing in top end and it was looking very stressed at 70 kmh and earlier i used to easily cruise at 80-85 kmph so checked the Afr found that those guys has made my Afr lean the screw was at 1.5 from fully closed considering 360 degree = 1 turn. Now i turned it at 3 turns from fully closed.

    I did not specifically ask for SS 125 shocks. I asked for Gladiator's and they said they don't have them in stock. I'll check with them tomorrow. BTW how do i check the rating of the shock absorbers?

    Also, After the recent service, My bike is kind of acting weird. Whenever I twist the throttle after upshifting, The bike is misfiring and I am losing the acceleration drastically. I changed the spark plug as well but still the issue exists. Anybody faced a similar issue? Please help as the fuel efficiency has gone low.

    [MENTION=38504]emzee[/MENTION] Did you try looking for ss125 shocks? All Yamaha bikes use Gabriel shocks so you can check the rating of your stock ones and check with any Gabriel dealer about the same.

    Thanks bbsrailfan!! I have been trying to source either the Stock Gladiator ones or the Stock SZR ones. Both of them are unavailable in Chennai. I tried three Yamaha spare parts stores. But none have either of them in stock. They are expecting the SZR shock absorbers stock this week. I'll most probably go with the SZR's shock absorbers.

    My Gladiator has completed 35000 Kms and I feel that the rear shocks have gone bad. I intend to replace them but the they are out of stock. I wanted to know whther the Gas shock absorbers be a direct fit on the gladiator? has any body tried this? If so then which brand and specifications?

    Or will the rear shocks of the Yamaha SZ fit on the Gladiator? Please advise.

    Regards,

    My bike has done 15k now

    My speedo cable is cut . Can anybody please tell me where I can get it changed near Alwarpet/Teynampet, Chennai?

    Also: I have taken finance from Shriram Finance. Do I have to renew my Insurance or will Shriam Finance be renewing it after 1 year?

    Thank you.

    I suggest other Glady owners also to try SHELL ADVANCE AX 7 10W 40 it costs Rs 320/- ( comes printed with Rs 341/- on the bottle but the dealer gives it for 320/- , and its a navy blue color bottle ) . Am sure you will experience an improvement in acceleration and the engine feels smooth and even the gear shits become butter smooth and to ur surprise exhaust gets little strong giving out some punching sound when revved hard between 6-8 rpm .............

    Do let me know if any one tried it out

    10W40 oil is not recommended for SS125/Gladiator. The manual recommends 20W40 and that is what we should be using. Using a different grade oil can affect the longevity of the engine as the viscosity of the 10W40 oil is not what the engine is designed for.

    I'd recommend switching back to 20W40.

    Any small-time mechanic can do it free of cost bro. You need to get a good grip of the preload adjuster with an adjustable wrench and twist it towards a bigger groove for more preload (less softness) or twist it towards a smaller groove for less preload (softer suspension)
