Did it in a local mechanic shop (as I do not have the tools) a month ago. Now again.. Local mechanics don't check the free play [emoji29] -
Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
It is there for a reason. If you remove that rubber strip, the chain will rub against the swingarm which will wear out the chain faster and also damage the swingarm in the long run. If your chain rubs against it, it does exactly what it was supposed to do. If the chain is constantly rubbing against this, it is time to check your chain slack.Originally posted by Angurj View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Hi guys,
Why do we have this thick sheet of some rubber under the chain near the front sprocket? Is it to protect the swing arm from chain when the chain loosens?
When the chain elongates in the longer run, it rubs in this sheet and I can feel it in my legs when riding in low speed that something is not smooth under there. It is highly noticeable when it's rainy season and mud (sand particles clog to chain lubricant and gets deposited under the chain on this sheet clogging to it with the help of lubricant).
Is it removable? Can I remove it? If yes, to the SVC or local mechanic or DIY?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
I think they are tring to loot you !! even my bike fell on right side while parked inside my building and the handlebar was bend . Normally on a bike fall i dont think the tripple T bar would bend that easily. So i would suggest you to buy the handle bar which costs only Rs 347 in asc and fix it by any good mechanic nearby . Also they would ask you to buy the left hand side grip which can be taken out easily from old handle bar using petrol and long screw driver and fix it on new handle bar using dendride.Originally posted by raintree View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Try to check from a different SVC. I know bike where the handlebar bend has been fixed but not sure of the Gixxer. So it is better to ask from a different SVC. Then it will be clear if this guy wants to cask you out.Originally posted by raintree View PostLeave a comment:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
With the recent rains in chennai, my Gixxer lost it's front end & fell on it's right side inside my office parking lot. No damage to the bike as I was moving at approx 5-10 km/h except the handlebar appears slightly bent to the right.
Showed this to a Suzuki authorised service centre and the service manager says the bend cannot be rectified and the entire Handlebar T stem needs replacing. He quotes around 2300 INR for parts and 850 INR as labour.
Has anyone faced an issue like this before? If so, were you able to rectify the bend?Leave a comment:

I think people like me who clock very less kms should go for mineral oil as synthetic oils are much expensive and cant be utilized to their full extent, even the performance difference is not that huge on these small capacity bikes.Leave a comment:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Depends on both. As the byproducts of combustion accumulate in the engine oil, the oil becomes acidic. If this oil is left inside the engine for a long period of time, it will cause internal corrosion and sludge formation. This is ofcourse an over simplified way of saying things, the actual stuff is more complicated.Originally posted by Rajdip Saha View Post
So with minerals it is 4000kms or 4months (generally)
With synthetics its 8000kms or 8months (generally for india)
Dont even go with Semi-synthetics, theres really is no value in opting for them.
There can be variations depending on usage, brand, time factor etc etc.....
So an essential indicator would be a performance difference between when you got the oil replaced freshly and at some other point down the lane. This ofc requires that you remember how the bike performed when you changed the oil.Leave a comment:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Does the service life of the engine oil depend only the miles covered or does it also depend on time.Originally posted by MotoBlizzard View Post
Can the synthetic oil be kept in the engine for a year and more if someone has very less running. Or will it have any negative impact?Leave a comment:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
Do we get any document for extended warranty? Or is thdre any way to check onlineLeave a comment:

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155
You change oil based on KMs covered and engine response.Originally posted by narik007 View PostHi,
How do guys decide that engine oil need to be changed visual inspection or engine sound or checking the viscosity of the oil?
as engine oil life depends on type(synth, semi-synth or mineral) and riding condition it is not an exact number from what i understand.
I see that it is min and max and color is turning to black after around 1000 km ride. i think it is too early for even mineral oil so just wanted to understand the basics
Mineral oils have a service life upto 4000kms - A safe minimum for changing oil would be 3500kms
Synthetics have a service life upto 8000kms - A safe minimum for changing oil would be 6500kmsLeave a comment:
