Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys done with the 1st service at 828kms on the odo.
Now the bike feels smooth compared to earlier but while coming to the home after the service touched 90kmph thrice & constantly ridden at 6k rpm for some 2 kms.
Is it ok to touch 90kmph & maintaining 6k rpm after the first service?

In the manual it is clearly mentioned that after after 800 kms max 7000rpm limit should be maintained need your opinion on this.

Always advisable to follow the manual if you intend to keep your bike tip top for years. its the first couple of thousand KM driving style that defines how your bike will remain for the next 5-6 years.

As i mentioned in my post in the manual it is mentioned that after the 1st 800 kms we can ride up to max 7k rpm. 90 kmph comes at some were around 6.5k rpm or even less than that didnt observed clearly.

Just maintain the rpm below 7.5k in each gear and you will be fine. Also, keep varying the rpm and don't constantly ride on one.

As much as it is good to follow the manual, at the same time, i highly advise that you stretch the engine over the limits for about 20-30 secs. You need to open the engine up for its max useability later in its life.

Even today morning, despite clocking 2150km on my odo, i was lucky to find a long clean stretch where i floored it! Although i have gone a bit above 100kmph before, this time it was for much longer. After stopping at the signal, i was quite surprised to get that distinctive, new engine parts smell from my engine. The last time i got the smell, was when i occasionally went over the limit during the run-in.

I would advise, till the 2nd service, find as much oppurtunity as you can to open the engine up in small increments for short bursts and bring it back down. I think(assumption of course) that the engine settles in fully around 3.5k-4k kms on the ODO.

Yeah doing the same thing like u had mentioned. During the first 800kms strictly followed max 4.5k rpm limit ocassionally touched 5 k rpm mark a few times.
Now the bike is at 900 kms on the odo as my apartment is located beside the national highway in the evening went for a 20 kms drive with short bursts up to 6.5k rpm & constantly driving between 5-5.5k rpms.

Every thing is fine but the paint quality on the engine is not up to the suzuki standards noticed a slight paint chipped off while washing the bike at svc today during the 1st service. Just observe the paint job on the engine part u will find some small peel offs of the paint at some parts especially on the cooling fins.

Here is the pic

Hmm...good point.
Checked my fins..no such peel offs.
But then again,you have constant highway riding at higher rpms. So could be a fall off from that.
Still, shouldn't happen. Ask the SVC if they can reapply a good quality thermal paint.
Also, do let me know if you are able to cross a 106kmph easily. Haven't yet had a chance in the city[emoji17] . just to check if the carb needs finer tuning.

Svc people said that its due to because of the heat & its pretty common. I will post the same thing on the suzuki website.
Even some bikes in the svc has the same paint chipp off from the fins we can observe it with little carefull observation & some gixxer pics that i got from the net has the same paint issue.
Good to know that your bikes paint quality is rock solid

My best is 90kmph thats it as the bike is just 900km dont want to revv it hard.

No matter how many times I do it, it simply amazes me how easily this bike hits 90. Its nuts for a 150cc bike.
Do let me know once you revv up the engine, on cruising comfortability at 90 versus 100.

@truelypulsarian pls restrict your rev limits go upto max 70kms/hr no harm in restraining yourself till date have completed 1800kms and till 1600kms never reved above 5k so just hold on for some more time after 2nd service you can touch speeds that you are currently trying to match that is a bit of advice from my side

But in the manual it is mentioned that from 800-1600 kms should maintain below 7k rpm so no harm in touching 6 k rpm right?

Its for the first 800 kms one should maintain below 4.5 k rpm.

Hmm..I think you will get differing opinions on this from people. Personal choice I guess.
The parts are not plastic you know. Also the run in rules are moderate guidelines so that the rider doesn't go nuts with the bike from day 1. There are various break in methods, and there is seriously no harm in stressing the engine in short bursts. In fact I feel its necessary for the long haul of the machine's life.

105 in the city??? Damn! Which city is that in? Lucky you[emoji17]
Rude safe bro! Only do it when you have a clear stretch.
