Looks like you are Yamaha fanatic!....I completely disagree that Fazer looks much better than Gixxer SLK!........Fazer headlamps being double barrel doesn't go well with the design also front fairing is covered partially!........If you look at the Gixxer SLK ....It has full fairing and which goes very well with the design!....Looks similar to it's Litre Class- GSX-600R!....Powerfigures are sufficient if you compare it will other 150cc full faired bikes!....Fazer,CBR150,R15!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Is anyone get black smoke from gixxer's exhaust while doing hard rev with center stand is use. Kindly check urs too... If yes inform scv & rectify it in next service.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hi

I bought my gixxer from saptagiri suzuki in bangalore. My bike nearing second service with nearly 3k kms done. The manual mentions that the first 4 services will be free and the next 4 will be paid. But when i contacted the service center, they said that alternate service will be free (1st, 3rd, 5th, 7th) and i will have to pay for the remaining (2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th). Is this how it is in other service centers as well?

Our gixxer manual clearly mentioned that first 4 services r free. Check the service coupon. Kindly show the word "free" to the scv guy.

"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"
I am not a Yamaha Fanatic, infact I am a Honda lover. Even if I am a fan of someone/something I don't let that cloud my view/judgement. That is the reason I didn't go for Unicorn 160. Lewis Hamilton fans will never agree that Fernando Alonso is a better driver than Hami.
In my view Fazer's design has elegance which is missing in SLK.
Please don't compare SLK, Fazer with CBR and R15.

So finally, you came around to beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. To each their own. We gotta respect each other's opinions here

Again, as I said before looks are subjective. What you think is elegance, isn't the same for me or another person on here. I find the fairing on the Fazer to be very minimalistic whilst the fairing on the SLK seems better because it seemlessly gels with the rest of the bike while on the Fazer it looks like an extra addition to the front. So we are getting more bang for the buck if the SLK is being positioned in the same category as the Fazer currently is. Reason being the SLK fully faired compared to the Fazer, has better power and torque figures, also marginally has better mileage and last but not least cheaper to purchase and cheaper to own which makes this a winner hands down.

OT: As for comparing Hamilton and Alonso, that's like comparing apples and oranges. Their riding styles are different and the way they go about their job is very different. They have their own strengths and nobody is better than the other in a lot of ways. Give Hamilton's Mercedes to a Marussia driver and he will win the race easily. F1 has become more about the vehicles and team work than driver skills these days.

I didn't know what to say when I was attributed "yamaha fanatic" tag. you differ with someone's opinion and they judge you without knowing you. so I used the phrase "beauty...." every ones a winner.

Full fairing on a 150CC is a bit odd according to me.

I respectfully disagree with "apples and oranges" concept.
Give alonso a truck and he will finish the race without complaining, while Hami starts cursing and complaining and whining right from the first turn and will separate the engine and trailer after hitting a double apex.
Give Hamilton's Mercedes to a Marussia driver and he will win the race easily. F1 has become more about the vehicles and team work than driver skills these days.(true to some extent)
whoa...Nico Roseberg has the same car and it is the driving skill only that decided the championship.

I guess we are totally going OT here but just one more reply to this and I am stopping!

Just because you don't see Alonso moan or complain doesn't mean he isn't moaning or complaining for real. I am pretty sure you were talking about the last couple of F1 seasons(where Ferrari didn't have much in terms of a good car and Alonso himself knew it deep inside. Hence the lack of complaint becuase he knew nothing is going to change in the short term) Remember you get to see only what media choose to show you. Perhaps, he does it differently. That doesn't make him any better or worse compared to another F1 driver.

Hamilton was moaning last season because of reliability issues his Mercedes had mid season(which btw affected Rosberg in the title decider again making it a one sided race). I would do the same when I know I am so close to taking a win but small issues like this messes things up. Finally, human emotions are different from person to person. Some choose to burst out while some keep it inside and do it differently. That is always there. For me, both of them are neck to neck the best among the lot of F1 drivers today.

BTW it is wrong to say driving skills decided Rosberg's fate! His car blew up on the final race and he didn't even have a chance to fight for it. So as I said before, it is more about the car and the team putting the car together these days and only then driver skills come into play.

5 minute movie trailers in theaters before intermission are refreshments. so going OT for a brief period is a refreshment

Even if he is moaning for real he doesn't disclose it publicly. he has dignity. The kind of driving he does and the points he scored in a limped ferrari is absolutely respectful. Massa couldn't do it and even the Iceman couldn't do it with the same car.

If we look into SPA incident which is purely a Racing Incident and how the british media and even team mercedes went ugly with that. Listen to LH's radio conversation and you will know. In singapore Nicos car electronics failed and he took the issue lightly. If it were Hami he would have cried publicly "SABOTAGE".
Finally, human emotions are different from person to person. Some choose to burst out while some keep it inside and do it differently. That is always there. For me, both of them are neck to neck the best among the lot of F1 drivers today.
True dat.

BTW it is wrong to say driving skills decided Rosberg's fate!(Agreed- minus the DNFs he would have clinched the championship) His car blew up on the final race and he didn't even have a chance to fight for it. So as I said before, it is more about the car and the team putting the car together these days and only then driver skills come into play.
Both Nico and Hami had their own DNFs(3 or 4?) and reliability issues. In one race which I don't recall the circuit, Nico braked hard at first turn which costed him his tyres and he had to pit in the 1st lap - Driver skill. Had he avoided that, the championship would have been more close.

Gixxer led to F1.

I think having a drum brake at the rear is ok. My fully loaded Swift (ZXI) also has drum brakes at the rear and disc brakes at the front. I think having ABS brakes are important.

I think the government should make it mandatory for all two wheelers including scooters to have ABS brakes (which can be switched off if needed).

ABS is not a miracle cure to stop riders from falling. It only kicks in extreme situations s where you have locked your brakes...and by extreme I mean really extreme
Would much rather have greater stopping power with front and rear disc brakes...

As indicated by Radikel, ABS come to play in only extreme conditions such as Wet/Slippery Roads and during panic breaking!......which prevents Wheel lock and loss of traction!.....If you are good rider, u don't need ABS!.....When u feel the wheels locking ...you should release the brakes and apply again.....do this repeatedly! -i do the same in my Gixxer...which prevents loss of traction ...this is the mechanism of ABS!.....As you have compared it with a car....I'l give my Test Drive Experience - I tested working of ABS on my VW Polo 1.2 TDI on an empty stretch.....doing 160km/h...apply brakes suddenly.....you will hear tick tick noise for the brakes which indicates ABS kicking in... later the brake lever pushes back your leg!.....You have to apply brake again!.......During this you don't feel the loss of traction!...Speed is reduced gradually!...Brakes in Cars and Bikes are different...In Bikes your braking depends on the pressure you put on the brake pad....but this is not in the case of cars as it is assisted by a booster (even if it does not have ABS) and also engine braking.....pressure required for braking is minimal!
