anybody with the SF yet? I want to listen to its owners! or is there a separate thread for SF here?

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..

I ride past 100 quite often haven't had any vibes. But only issue that bothers me is gear display vanishes if i come to stand still in 3rd gear ! vibes can also be due to the road conditions !

Hi,
I recently faced thus issue as SVC meddled with carb. Ask them to tune it properly.
