Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Well, it seems I managed to rectify the problem myself to some extent. Turned the AFR screw about 1/6th of a cirle anti-clockwise, cleaned the spark-plug and adjusted the idle rpm to 1500 in warmed up engine.
Hope it helps you too. The AFR screw adjustment might varry in your case so better take it to a local mech if you aren't sure enough.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155


Got any better results after tuning AFR screw.? Also still I'm not clear that which way to tune for lean & rich mixture. Total confuse.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Yeah. That low power region in the rpm band has reduced. It pulls as it should, if not better.

Think of it as a tap through which petrol flows to the engine instead of water. Tighten it to reduce the amount of fuel in the mixture i.e. Lean and vice-versa (rich). Only difference is that the AFR screw is a lot more sensitive. So use it accordingly.

Guys any advices for bumpy ride feel.

Re: Rear Tyre Hugger for Gixxer

Lol hahahahaha
Sorry mate !!
This just made me laugh
It's not sep technology no where related to it ..
There is passage not jet near cams to keep them lubricated all the time not just when revved hard .. Plus theres no leakage from valve .. If that was the case you'll see blueish smoke from exhaust ..
This type of lubrication is present in each and every engine ..
As for tak tak noise it generally the exhaust and engine being cooled after a long or hot ride .. Again not related to tappets ..
All air cooled engines make this noise when they are shut off as the temps are dropping ..
Apart from that exhaust also makes noise most of the time .. Because as we know metal expand or contract when subjected to varying levels of temp ..

Re: Rear Tyre Hugger for Gixxer

While what you're saying is true, I did not mean the general sound that all air cooled engine make after shutting off. And by jet I meant a separate jet which sprays oil on the sides of upside down piston skirts to enhance cruising without the engine facing premature over heating. Also I no where mentioned it was near cam. It's just above bore lubricating from top as mentioned by the suzuki mechanic while I went for a test ride. Being on top not necessarily indicate its location near cam shafts. This was the exact thing I got hear from the mechanic. Even my bike makes that sound and its the engine oil dripping back to the sump below after a ride; but this issue is not that. It's while running and when the engine is 'on'!

And again, instead of wasting your time laughing at it, you could have very well confirmed the tech spec as I have mentioned in my post before poking your nose. After all, not everyone is ignorant about internal combustion engines here, if at all you want to enlighten them very much prior to knowing it. I am not saying whatever I said is right as I haven't opened the engine and observed it. But SVC mechanics are some people you can trust in the beginning when you have no other expert about this new product with proprietary technology like SEP or whatever, in the market. And all this while I have been asking others to confirm if its true and I don't think your assertive statement is also something which can help.

Re: Rear Tyre Hugger for Gixxer

Crank case oil squirtres are used to spray a get of engine oil to piston crown (bottom side), piston pin etc.. they are place at crank case not inside the bore or the cylinder head.
this is used for better cooling and heat dissipation from piston crown (hottest part of IC Engine).
dripping oil will not make any audible sound.
this oil oil squirters are not a new technology, in fact the gixxer engine it self is a over bored version of suzuki thunder 125.

Thanks a lot avinash.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Check if there are stones stuck inside the grooves of the tyres.

Another suggestion is to put it on centre-stand and put the bike on neutral and then spin the rear wheel and check if you see any irregularities in the tyre when its rotating.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Check the suspension setting. Maybe it is on stiff position.

Re: Rear Tyre Hugger for Gixxer

Peace out! Have fun.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hi guys, I'm a great fan of this tread and I'm following it from the beginning You guys rock. Coming to the question, I gave my Black Gixxer for first service today. The Svc guy sprayed some kind of oil in the chain instead of Motul chain spray n lube... He also said that Adding Grease to the chain instead of Motul is a cheap and long term solution.. Are these things said by the Svc guy right?

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

Hello friends, I took delivery yesterday of my Gixxer (grey color). Feeling great. Gears are bit hard but I think after service they should be fine.
I bought in 84000 on road Delhi with leg guard, grip and seat cover. I will take extended warranty also it will come in 600 to 700 bucks for 3 more years.

Today morning I detected crack in black assembly of engine kill switch. I went directly to showroom and they replaced it promptly. Now it looks fine. Just checked other parts with eagle eye

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

SVC guys are least bothered to do things properly. Avoid using grease on the chain. If you are a DIY guy, buy chain cleaner & lube and do the cleaning / lubing by yourself.

Re: Suzuki Gixxer 155

I have been using grease on my bike for 2+ years now. Works very well and lasts longer. But, it purely depends on how you apply grease. Just rubbing the top portion of your chain won't help, one has to either pour hot grease or dip the chain inside. Also, I have a closed chain which helps matters.

On open chain bikes, grease may not be as effective because:
1. It will attract more dust.
2. If it flings on anyone's clothes, Surf Excel would cry!
3. It looks not so good.
4. Leaves a goooey residue at the sprocket ends.

In general, grease is a VFM sollution, but cleaning it is a task. Chain lube + cleaner are easier to work with, if you have 1000 rupees for every 4-5 sessions.
