Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Has any one tried adding apache engine faring into gixxer , that would look awesome

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Always from reserve to reserve method is used to calculate it is the best way either you put in tank full or 2 or 4 ltr. But this is the best method
I always use this method to take out my bike fe.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Contrary to popular belief,
Full tank to next you fill up is the most accurate measurement.
It also gives fe figure across a gamut of riding conditions, which is a proper measure of true avg.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I raised the same question just a month back. This looks great but Won't fit properly.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155


We should be able to extract that kind of mileage if driven very carefully! My Gixxer gave me 53 kmpl (tankful to hitting reserve calculation method) twice before first service and I was using Shell ordinary petrol. Now after 1st service, I got a combined average of 48-50 kmpl inspite of doing a 150 km high speed(speeds around 80km/h to 100 km/h) run followed by riding in normal city traffic conditions until the tank hit reserve.

He seems to be using Shell premium which contains additives which might improve mileage marginally. His claim sounds unbelievable but it is possible.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I went through many gixxer related posts in this Forum. But i'm not sure that the suggestions were suiting me. I'll be test riding the gixxer tomorrow.
My problem with gixxer is that, I have a Suzuki Hayate on which the gear shifting is very rough. Though on one model i test drove it was smooth, On my bike its very hard.
This issue is from day one. Me and my Elder brother tried communicating with Aryan Suzuki in bangalore many times, But for no use. So coming to my question, Gixxer owners is this Gear shift a problem with all Gixxers or do you think the Issue might be only in couple of bikes? Because i have checked on the ownership thread and many reviews of users telling me the gear shift is a bit hard. Also has the rusting issues been answered by suzuki in the newer versions of the bike?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155


Rusting issue was sorted out from 2015 batch. They r applying special anti rust coat. Hard great shift is common for all new bikes. I had hard shift for 1st 500 kms. Now no hard shift only smooth shift. Everything will settle only after 1.5k kms.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155


Only problem is my bike has ran more than 20,000Kms, Regular service, Changed the clutch cable, engine oil.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I am at 400km on odo.. Crossed 4.5k rpm twice for 2 sec or something... Any problems???

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Crossing marginally for a few seconds and coming back down shouldn't be a problem! Constant driving above 4.5k rpm should be avoided for the first 800 kms.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Crossing 4.5k RPM just for 2 secs will not have any problem at all. Problem is we should not maintain 4.5k or more rpm in the initial stages. Even I touched 4.5k rpm many times with single or 2,3 blinks of rpm light. No need worry...njoy.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Can anyone post a SERVICE MANUAL pdf of Gixxer. Urgently needed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
I'm also looking for service manual. Provide me the link or PDF.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

hi guys.. a post after riding gixxer for 7500 km..my 3rd servicing is due which i will get done in a few days. i bought the black coloured gixxer on january 10th and since then i have thrown almost every worse possible condition on the bike.here is what i have experienced till now:

1. after i got my first servicing done at around 800 km i took the bike for a long trip to chhatisgarh. I live near Ranchi. I drove straight 630km to reach raipur from ranchi in one go (took a longer route), started at 6 am and reached raipur around 8pm. No complaints, bike performed above my expectations. no heating problem, seats were ultra comfortable though a got a different seat cover very comfortable and suitable for long rides during hot season. In raipur I made several trip to nearby areas and then got my second servicing done there. The service centre i found there was far more better than the ranchi one. i stayed in raipur for 15 days and during that time i drove around 3000km. after every thousand km i used to go to service centre and they would clean and lube my bike immediately without any charge. i was charged only for the third service which was around 400.

2. the heart break: it happened that the day i got my bike serviced and was coming back i took tea break in a line hotel. and suddenly i vehicle rammed into my parked bike. the impact was so huge that the handle bar got bent, the frame holding the headlight was bent and brake pad was also affected. somehow i started my bike and returned to the service centre. They immediately looked into it, spent 5 hours and corrected everything. handlebar and headlight frame was changed. total cost incurred was 1100 rs. but the bike was almost in the new condition. againafter few days i returned back to ranchi and bike performed equally well in my return journey.

the roads for my journey were both from excellent to no road at all. no punctures and bike just went on and on. no problem with back ache or ne other physical harrassment. although after driving 600kms my thumbs went numb for a while. other than that i felt no pain to drive it for longer durations. excellnt shockers. total journey length 4400kms

after coming back i drove around 1500 km more.

what i loved:

a. very good power specially in the mid range. bikes goes to 90 in no time.no problem in overtaking even the fastest cars.

b. no engine vibrations till 90-95. then you will feel a little bit of vibrations. but even on the top speed (i got 118kmph) the vibrations are very much manageable and you will have good control over the bike. but its an absolute pleasure to ride the bike in between 70-95 kmph. 75 has become my new 60.

c. handling: just superb. bike is so responsive to your cutting edge bike riding skills and its very light so you can easily flick it. i tried to tilt the bike while riding and my left leg on the gear touched the ground on a curvy road (my leg ws lil bit lower too). but i wont suggest that it will always happen as it depends on many factors like how curvy is the road, your speed etc etc. so dont take it for granted that you will not fall down while tilting your bike that much. I just wanted to test while wearing all the riding gears like gloves etc. i was prepared for a fall. In cities the control is very smooth and you can surpass the traffic in no time. wide handle bar adds to the handling comfort.

d. comfortable seats, get a cushion wala seat cover, it will add to your seat comfort. i posted pictures few months back of that seat cover.

e. mileage is good though i have not measured it exactly but roughly it gives around 45-50. again the error margin can be huge so i cant really say in this department as mileage dsnt matter much to me.

f. servicing cost as well as parts are very cheap. handlebar cost only 380 rs.

g. the bike is designed as such that even in accidents there would be very less scratches on the body. for my accident there were no scratches at all. i was actually surprised.

h. engine sound i just love it

i. stability of the bike is very high. at 115-118kmph there is lot of air blast but it would not make the bike much unstable. just hold the handlebar a little tight. and yes beware of the trucks coming from the opposite direction, they create a big air blast. just be careful. i drove at 115kmpoh for around 1 hour (roads in orissa are really good )

things i dont like much:

a. ground clearance: it seems it is very low. i was suggested that change the shocker setting to 4th level from default 3rd one. but after a while when schockers are a bit used, on double ride (obviously a bit heavy rider) the bike hits the bumper. though it wont harm much.

b. for past few days the mileage has reduced much. i think it is because servicing date is near. but i will get it checked.

c. top speed should have been more somewhere around 130. on good roads with no traffic you would be able to control the bike so well that even 110+ speed seems to be lower.

d. sometimes the bike behaves rough. at times when you will drive at higher speed and then come back to driving at 60kmph, the sound of engine changes. but then it will come back to normal after some time.

e. pillion seat comfort is not good. its good for short trips (about 100-200km) but for longer trips (>400km), like i drove, seat comfort creates an issue.

f. headlights: they are not for highway driving at all. get HID lights.no problem with battery or the warranty. very nice ones. at night i was able to drive at 95kmph on highways. those who dont want to invest on lights can put the dipper switch in between up and low. this will illuminate both the bulbs and visibility will increase. though its written in the manual to not to do this but go ahead neways. i drove like this for initial few days (upto 1000km)

g. horn: its pathetic. its like hulk crying like a baby on highways no one would notice the horn. you have to slow down for people trying to cross the road. though i have not changed the stock horns but i want to.

how I pamper my bike:

1. i use motul chain cleaner and lube. they are very good and will make your bike smooth.
2. i usually wash it once a month and use pidilite polish. gives a nice shine.
3. do remember to clean the schocker, though there is no problem even if mud gets stuck there (as told by mechanic) but still why to take chance.



i enjoy riding this bike. fun to put much accelerator and feel the bike going whaa whaaaa

i would suggest to use motul 10w40 engine oil made for suzuki. its the oil for this bike and service centre guys would give you this only. in case they are giving any other oil insist for this as they have been instructed by suzuki to use this oil (as told by mechanic in raipur)

always check the air pressure, 29psi in front, 33psi in rear. thats just perfect. if you willput more, you may skid.


also regarding braking it has got good front brake but never use it alone. on straight roads with no turning front brake only will not create much trouble but even if your handle bar is slightly left or right front tires will skid for sure. just use both the brakes together.it will reduce the chances of skidding.

I would not say that this is the best bike in the market, i think pulsar ns200 is better but i would definitely suggest you to buy this one. you will love the ride. and its lighter than ns200 which makes it easier to handle.

happy riding..develop a relation with your gixxer.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Nice post. Thanks for sharing your story.
Was really interested in your bike's behaviour on the highway bits. Iam planning a long highway ride next moth, that's why[emoji3] really great to hear that you could actually cruise at 90...really really great.

Just wanted to ask you,after my 2nd service, the bike tends to vibe a bit, which I feel on the footpegs, especially riding on powerband curve where it surges ahead, 50-65.. Is this ok. Also, iam not really sure because I haven't felt for it, but once past 75 I think it disappears, again it could be vibing, but the bike surges ahead so beautifully and the SOUND, that I forget about that annoyance[emoji23]
