Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

that explains it! I think we took the bike around the same time and still I am yet to touch 2k on odo. The surprise heavy rains in Bangalore isn't helping either.

How's the engine refinement after 5k kilometeres compared to when the vehicle was brand new? Any increase/decrease in mileage?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Been riding albeit hard since first service.. Noticed some strange kick or something under bike when changing from 3rd gear.. Been constantly touching 4-5k rpm. Any reason to worry????

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Guys anyone facing poor mileage issues mine has been hovering around 20-25 complained to svc said they did some carb tuning same effect.Been riding for 16 years now to know I am not a poor driver to achieve such mileage. Was told if issue persists they shall do a 100 ml test not sure how much that shall help. Inputs on any mileage issues would be helpful

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Do you ride within city limits mostly in stop & go traffic? Well, me too getting low mileage around 32 kmpl when riding in such condition. Also, if there's a heavy pillion the mileage reduce drastically. I just posted a concern regarding the mileage issue minutes back. The mileage altogether is very inconsistent. Even a 2-stoke bike has better mileage. Don't know what to do.

How old is your bike? Service done?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I recently visited Svc and they tuned my bike and also did carb tuning, they did 100 ml bottle test also and mileage was 62. Though I always get mileage around 47-57 kmpl consistently

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Is the 100ml test accurate? There should be petrol in the carb and tubes, even after the tanks completely empty. And with just 100ml, the few ml that were left undrained will have an enormous impact on the results.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I would really want to get help from you all in this matter!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

On which part of the vehicle did you feel the vibration?(Tank, Handlebar, Footpegs etc) I am sorry its been a week since I visited xbhp so I couldn't point to your post in which your problem was clearly mentioned.And yes the chain is one of the reasons for vibrations. I also feel slight vibration coming from under the tank at certain RPMs and I a lot of times checked my mobile while riding.

I opened the master link and cleaned the chain with diesel and immersed it in a mixture of oil and Nulon grease and applied decent amounts of grease to seal the oil. Took one hour and its been 400kms and the chain is buttersmooth till now. I hope the smoothness lasts atleast another 1000kms.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Even I faced poor mileage in the initial stages. Got only 30-35 kmpl. I suggest do CO check to know the fact then the 100 ml can test. If the mileage is poor then carb can tuned. Strongly recommend not to tune the carb in the beginning itself bcoz its new bike. All bikes are well tested before it comes to showroom.

I did all the tests for bike but the result is again 30 kmpl range. I blindly left that mileage. But now bike is going to reach 3k mark. Getting mileage of 40-47 kmpl. Got increased gradually. So leave it. Will get better mileage after 1k on the odo.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Vibe comes from footpeg portion and that too on particular 4500-5000rpm only .

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

For the past 15 years have been driving in city conditions only start stop kind for a bike whose average mileage is quoted around 40-50 giving 20-25 is not right yes start stop condition does have a impact but no so drastic. Dynamo I do agree on your post mine started at 100 improved to 200 after complaining twice at svc some CO adjustment was done but still same effect some bikes take time to set in will wait and watch for a month before doing 100 ml test.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Heya, are you sure it is because of carb improper setting? As he recently tunned carb and now my bike is very responsive and also with efficient mileage.

This vibe is from the day I bought bike.

Some of them here in group told me that every engine gives some of vibe at particular rpm.

Some told me that vibe is because of engine compression at that particular rpm.

Though I tested other Gixxers and they did not produce any vibe at any rpm.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Sometimes the vibes can be because of improper tightening of the bolts when the engineers assemble the parts back after the servicing. You can ask them to check and tighten all nuts and bolts once again.

The other reason can be because of resonance. But if this is the case, then you will notice the all Gixxer bikes will vibrate the most at that RPM range irrespective of the gear chosen.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Yeah exactly!
Considering your second point, I checked with other Gixxers and they produced no vibes at all.

I thought gixxer might be having engine compression or something because of SEP engine.

I went to two SVC. First one ignored that vibe completely and another one was giving me excuses that it was because of chain, when I asked if it is from chain then why only on 4500-5000 rpm. He was mum!

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hi guys.. I am a new member I've been following this forum the last couple months and it had been a source of great knowledge. after covering almost 1 lakh kms on my(dads) super splendor i realized it was time for a new bike.8 years,20+(incl 5 major ) crashes and many thousands in repairs later the SS still runs, solid as a rock.It has taught me many things about the soul of the road.and im eternally grateful to it.after months of deliberation with choices including the duke200, p200ns, yfz and most difficult of them all, the unicorn 160.After intense Brain storming ,I bought my baby blue on the third of march at 86050/- from calicut.The process was fast enough,payment was on Monday ,i got delivery on Tuesday,the registration process(after attending the mandatory road safety class) with the receipt of the laminated RC was done by Wednesday by the malappuram RTO.all in all the process didnt take much time.

The biggest difference I find between the gsx and super splendor is the weight distribution.the gixxers weight though straight, feels stacked, and as such feels a bit front heavy requiring me to physically grab the handle bars while cornering. super splendor has a low center of gravity and as such tends to correct itself when cornering (and making turn-in cornering difficult).its steering is also ridiculously light .I could operate it with 2 fingers . as of yet i have completed 2.3k on the gixxer and I am planning the second service sometime this month.I haven't ridden any where on long trips yet,my commute is 53+53kms daily a distance covered in a bout an hour at a cruising speed along 62kmph . I'm getting around 60 mileage at that speed With standard tuning and normal use.and thers no lack of torque. a quick twist of the throttle sees the bike cross 90 and the tanker/trailer I was trying to overtake become a speck in the mirrors.

Front disks are excellent, the bybres have excellent bite (may be a bit too much?) Emergency breaking always sees the rear tyre lifting off the ground. in my town autos are the most unpredictable entities .they randomly decide to change its direction with no warning whatsoever. In one instance an auto tuned into me just as i was about to cross it, the front brakes brought the bike to a full stop within the distance of the autos body from about 40 kmph. The handle bars were practically touching the auto drivers chest.

The tires are Wonderful as well, the rounded profile makes quick turns easy with enough grip to supplant the brakes.I'm not sure how much air to put in either of them of them (guys?).The beefy suspension handles Kerala roads well.

The biggest issue I face is lack of storage space. there is absolutely no space for for anything.currently i am using an improvised tank cover from another bike as a temporary measure.this being a naked bike guys plz do not put anything on the rear grab rails, the exposed rear tire will rip any bag to shreds (I lost a text book hanging it out there).another issue I face the is mud splashing on the mono-shock spring when its raining .(has anybody found a fix for that?) .Also, sometimes when downshifting from 5>4 and 4>3 the selector may get stuck between the gears and nothing shows on the gear indicator.any guidance is appreciated. thanking you all..
